Mellin inversion theorem
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, the Mellin inversion formula (named after Hjalmar Mellin) tells us conditions under which the inverse Mellin transform, or equivalently the inverse two-sided Laplace transform, are defined and recover the transformed function.

Perspective
If is analytic in the strip , and if it tends to zero uniformly as for any real value c between a and b, with its integral along such a line converging absolutely, then if
we have that
Conversely, suppose is piecewise continuous on the positive real numbers, taking a value halfway between the limit values at any jump discontinuities, and suppose the integral
is absolutely convergent when . Then is recoverable via the inverse Mellin transform from its Mellin transform . These results can be obtained by relating the Mellin transform to the Fourier transform by a change of variables and then applying an appropriate version of the Fourier inversion theorem.[1]
Boundedness condition

Perspective
The boundedness condition on can be strengthened if is continuous. If is analytic in the strip , and if , where K is a positive constant, then as defined by the inversion integral exists and is continuous; moreover the Mellin transform of is for at least .
On the other hand, if we are willing to accept an original which is a generalized function, we may relax the boundedness condition on to simply make it of polynomial growth in any closed strip contained in the open strip .
We may also define a Banach space version of this theorem. If we call by the weighted Lp space of complex valued functions on the positive reals such that
where ν and p are fixed real numbers with , then if is in with , then belongs to with and
Here functions, identical everywhere except on a set of measure zero, are identified.
Since the two-sided Laplace transform can be defined as
these theorems can be immediately applied to it also.
