Abstract

In this work, we propose a novel convolution product associated with the -transform, denoted by , and explore its fundamental properties. Here, the -transform may be regarded as a refined variant of the classical Fourier, Hartley transform, with kernel function depending on two parameters . Our first contribution shows that the space of integrable functions, equipped with multiplication given by the -convolution, constitutes the commutative Banach algebra over the complex field, albeit without an identity element. Second, establishes the Wiener--Lévy type invertibility criterion for -algebras, obtained through the density property and process of unitarization, which serves as a key step toward the proof of Gelfand's spectral radius theorem. Third, provides an explicit upper-bound of Young's inequality for -convolution and its direct corollary. Finally, all of these theoretical findings are applied to analyze specific classes of the Fredholm integral equations and heat source problems, yielding a priori estimates under the established assumptions.
