Introduction

The Hankel transform is based on the Bessel functions, also

known as Bessel transforms

Bessel functions are solutions of the differential equation:

This function is solvable by using series expansion

 The Hankel transform expresses any given function as the weighted sum

of an infinite number of Bessel functions of the first order. For a function f(r), with r>=0, the Hankel transform is given as:

Definition

With JV the 5th order Bessel function defined as:

The inverse Hankel transform is given by:

Derivative
For FV (s) = Hav{f(r)} and GV (s) = Hav{f (r)} we have:

Similarity

For any given Hankel transform, the following relation is valid:

1 + 1 () = () 2 =1 2 1

1 = 2 ( )

 Division by r

For a given HT, if a function f(r) is divided by a power of r, then we have:

Convolution property

[1 + +1 ()] 2 = 1 () = +1 ()

If h(x) is the convolution function of f(x) with x>=0, then the following

convolution property of HT holds:

Fourier Transofrm and Hankel Transform

The N-dimensional Fourier transform of a circularly

symmetric function that has N variables is related to the (N/2)-1 Hankel transform. Therefore, for example, the second order Fourier transform of a circularly symmetric function is its zero-order Hankel transform.

Plancherel & Parseval Theorems

Plancherel Th.
Let F(r), g(r) be two function that have defined Hankel transforms

Fv(s) and Gv(s). Then, the Plancherel theorem states that:

Parseval Th.
The Parseval theorem states that if F(r) is a function that has a

defined Hankel transforms Fv(s) then we have:

Let us assume that heat is supplied at a constant rate Q per unit area and

per unit time through a circular disc of radius a in the plane z = 0, to the semi-infinite space z > 0. The thermal conductivity of the space is K. The plane z = 0 outside the disc is insulated. The temperature is denoted by v(r,z). We have got the Laplace Equation in polar coordinates:
2 2 1 2 2 + + 2 = 0,

Applying the Hankel transform the differential equation becomes:

Consequently, the temperature is given by:
