A class of index transforms generated by the Mellin and Laplace operators

Abstract

Classical integral representation of the Mellin type kernel in terms of the Laplace integral gives an idea to construct a new class of non-convolution (index) transforms. Particular examples give the Kontorovich-Lebedev-like transformation and new transformations with hypergeometric functions as kernels. Mapping properties and inversion formulas are obtained. Finally we prove a new inversion theorem for the modified Kontorovich-Lebedev transform
