Integral transform Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
In mathematics, an integral transform is any transform T of the following form:
There are several useful integral transforms. Each transform corresponds to a different choice of the function g, which is called the kernel of the transform.
| Transform | Symbol | Kernel |
|---|---|---|
| Laplace transform |
|
|
| Fourier transform |
|
|
| Hilbert transform |
|
|
| Mellin transform |
|
|
| Identity transform |

Although the properties of integral transforms vary widely, they have some properties in common. For example, every integral transform is a linear operator, since the integral is a linear operator, and in fact if the kernel is allowed to be a generalized function then all linear operators are integral transforms (a properly formulated version of this statement is the Schwartz kernel theorem).
