Abstract

Recently Fox ((5)) has given an inversion formula for the transform whose kernel is xνKν(x), where Kν(x) is the modified Bessel function of the second kind, by the application of fractional integration theory. In the present paper it has been shown that the integral equation

can be thrown into the form of a Laplace integral, with the help of fractional integration, which can be solved by known methods.
