Whittaker Transform

From Encyclopediaofmath

The integral transform

$$F(x)=\int\limits_0^\infty(2xt)^{-1/4}W_{\lambda,\mu}(2xt)f(t)\,dt,$$

where $W_{\lambda,\mu}(z)$ is the Whittaker function (cf. Whittaker functions). For $\lambda=1/4$ and $\mu=\pm1/4$ the Whittaker transform goes over into the Laplace transform.
