Theorem 2 (Fourier-Bessel Representation) Let u ( x ) = f ( | x | ) , and suppose that t �→ t n / 2 f ( t ) J n / 2 − 1 ( 2 π | ξ | t ) ∈ L 1 ( R n ) . Then, ˆ ∞ u ( ξ ) = 2 π | ξ | − n / 2 + 1 t n / 2 f ( t ) J n / 2 − 1 ( 2 π | ξ | t ) dt . ˆ 0 Then, the latter identity (33) is equivalent to ˆ ∞ 2 2 π s + 1 y s t n / 2 + s K s ( 2 π yt ) J n / 2 − 1 ( 2 π | ξ | t ) dt | x | n / 2 − 1 0 y 2 s = Γ ( n / 2 + s ) ( y 2 + | x | 2 ) ( n + 2 s ) / 2 . π n / 2 Γ ( s ) Group 3 Fractional Laplacian VIII Escuela-Taller 34 / 40
