Now t h e above leads t o many developments of e s s e n t i a l l y mathematical i n t e r e s t r e l a t e d t o special functions and d i f f e r e n t i a l operators b u t t h e r e i s another s i d e of the story.

T h u s i t should come as no s u r p r i s e t h a t t h e mathematical machinery useful (and e s s e n t i a l ) i n studying such processes has s i m i l a r p a t t e r n s and s t r u c t u r e f o r various problems a r i s i n g i n d i f f e r e n t d i s c i p l i n e s . Moreover transmutation can be p a r t i a l l y regarded i n the context of studying an operat o r Q i n terms of a "known" operator P and i t i s possible t o t r a n s p o r t various types of P machinery t o Q via B (e.g. t h e Fourier cosine transform and i t s inverse correspond t o t h e Q transform and i t s inverse f ( x ) = ( RQ, Qf(X) C QP ~ ( X ) ) via ~ B[Cosxx](y) = p QX ( y ) ) . In this s p i r i t v a r i o u s formulas a n d procedures i n quantum s c a t t e r i n g theory and geophysical a c o u s t i c wave theory f o r example have s i m i l a r s t r u c t u r e (based on transmutation connections) and the transmutation machine;-y i s e s p e c i a l l y useful in studying inverse problems. A t another level ( i n t e g r a l equations of G-L and Wiener-Hopf (W-H) type) one encounters c e r t a i n aspects of l i n e a r estimation and f i l t e r i n g theory w i t h t h e underlying s p e c t r a l i z a t i o n based on Fourier theory f o r s t a tionary processes.

t o a reasonable enough depth in t h a t i t sees t h e c o e f f i c i e n t s and spectrum and one expects t o study f u r t h e r the " s e n s i t i v i t y " o f t h e machinery in variour senses. Thus although we f e e l t h a t t h e theory has reached a stage where

a s o r t of d e f i n i t i v e presentation i s possible ( a n d hopefully embodied here i n p a r t ) we a l s o suggest t h a t t h e theory and methods can be developed f u r t h e r in various ways. Let us i n d i c a t e now t h e r e l a t i o n of t h i s book t o t h e a u t h o r ' s previous two books on transmutation ( 1 ) Transmutation and operator d i f f e r e n t i a l equat i o n s , North-Hol land, 1979 and ( 2 ) Transmutation, s c a t t e r i n g theory, and s p e c i a l f u n c t i o n s , North-Holland, 1982. There is very l i t t l e i n t e r s e c t i o n w i t h ( 1 ) since i n ( 1 ) we were primarily i n t e r e s t e d in s o l u t i o n s o f ordinary d i f f e r e n t i a l equations w i t h operator c o e f f i c i e n t s and the transmutation 2 methods were b a s i c a l l y only of the most elementary s o r t , connecting D with 2 2 2 2 2 D, D with - 0 , and D with Qm = D + [(2m+l)/x]D o r w i t h D + (2m+l)CothxD ( t h e l a t t e r t h r e e connections occur of course a l s o i n t h e present volume). Also contained i n ( 1 ) was a d e t a i l e d account of the Hutson-Pym development of generalized t r a n s l a t i o n i n a t e n s o r product context (not repeated here). However a t l e a s t one half of ( 1 ) was mainly concerned w i t h operator d i f f e r e n t i a l equations as such and questions of existence of s o l u t i o n s , uniqueness, e t c . On t h e other hand, although we have w r i t t e n rouqhly 25 papers s i n c e w r i t i n g ( 2 ) , and of course o t h e r work h a s appeared in the intervening t h r e e y e a r s , we will n a t u r a l l y include here some basic material from ( 2 ) i n a reorganized form. The present book i s designed more as a " t e x t " on t r a n s mutation ( a s well as a research monograph) and t h e f i r s t chapter in f a c t s t a r t s with an introduction t o d i s t r i b u t i o n s and Fourier a n a l y s i s . Then t h e r e a r e 5 s e c t i o n s on basic s p e c t r a l a n a l y s i s (from several points of view), and on transmutation f o r operators D2 - q , where t h e presentation i s s s s e n t i a l l y s e l f contained a n d t h e d e t a i l s a r e s p e l l e d out completely. Then in s e c t i o n s 9-12 we deal with s i n g u l a r operators a n d t h e general Parseval formula v i a transmutation methods following ( 2 ) ; the procedure i s designed t o d i s p l a y the e s s e n t i a l canonical s t r u c t u r e without becoming immersed in excessive d e t a i l (which can be found i n ( 2 ) ) . Chapter 2 begins with a treatment of general transmutation theory via s p e c t r a l pairings and develops t h e i n t e r p l a y between various c h a r a c t e r i z a t i o n s of transmutation in terms of connection formulas, Goursat problems, Cauchy problems, s p e c t r a l p a i r i n g s , and minimization.

from various points of view with use of generalized translation as an essential ingredient in the theory. The canonical M equation connecting full line Fourier type operators P with general Q uses a new form of operational calculus in its development and reveals the intrinsic structural form of such equations as factorizations related t o the general G-L factorization. Sections 8-9 involve new results on Bergman-Gilbert (8-G) operators and related operators arising in transmutation theory via "complex angular momentum". A general Kontorovi&Lebedev (K-L) theory is developed and applied in the study of generatinq functions as transmutation kernels. Section 10 is also new and uses transmutation techniques intrinsically in the development of orthogonal functions relative to general measures. Section 1 1 is mostly new material on the construction o f transmutations with emphasis on the relations between kernels and coefficients. Chapter 3 consists of applications in several areas to show most clearly the intrinsic and canonical nature of transmutation methods in studying physical problems governed by second order linear differential equations. The first section is an introduction to stochastic ideas (with definitions and basic background information from probability theory). Then in §§3-5 we review some main lines of work on linear stochastic estimation and filtering in the sense of extracting and studying the structure of the basic integral equations and relating this t o underlying differential problems. Theorems are proved in detail and various techniques of use in electrical engineering for computation are indicated (although we do not say anything specific about numerical procedures). In §§6-7further connections of this work to transmutation theory and scattering theory are developed and we show how the minimizing procedure characterizing transmutation kernels in 57.7 i s equivalent to linear least squares estimation when there is an underlying stochastic process. In 558-9 we show how transmutation methods play an intrinsic role in the study of one dimensional geophysical inverse problems (such techniques can also be used for certain three dimensional problems as reported on in (2)). Section 8 is largely taken from (2) (with considerable refinement) and 59 contains new material involving transmission readout. Many new mathematical features (e.g. splitting of spectral measures) arise and have structural similarity to topics in estimation theory (e.g. Wiener filtering). In 570 we briefly survey some information on random evolutions related t o transmutation and as a separate topic make some remarks on the Darboux transformation. 511 is about canonical equations in the context of

We w i l l n o t repeat a l l of t h e technical d e t a i l here and will organize t h e material i n a somewhat d i f f e r e n t manner. A c e r t a i n amount of t h e d e t a i l was needed in order t o give an extension o f

t h e Marzenko technique of 55 t o cover s i n g u l a r operators.

Now it will be useful to make explicit the nature of (8.13) as a Fredholm integral equation (cf. [Cjl] for integral equations). Thus think of y as a parameter and write (x 5 y) (8.26)

An alternative form of (8.28-) would be [I - ty]AK = AT + [6; - Cy]K* but it seems more appropriate to introduce estimates in (8.28). We recall here that the existence o f a continuous K(y,x) satisfying (8.13) or (8.27) (and * of a corresponding K (y,x)) is assured by independent considerations (and uniqueness is known). The integral equation (8.27) can be thought of in various spaces depending on the nature of 6(x,s). Thus for C(x,s) E Ltoc one has a standard theory A for 6 in L2 (with T(y,-) considered in L2 ). Similarly for 6(x,s) E Co Y (as can be posited) we have a classical theory for ey in Co (with ?(y,-) E Co). In either theory there is a Fredholm alternative (cf. [Cjl; Rbl]) etc. so we can say that x = 1 is not an eigenvalue of 6 and for any y < m y Y (I - ~ ~ 1 -exists l as an operator in L2 or CO (similarly (1 - c;)-' exists). Given &(x,s) as in (8.26) with Gb E L1 we see also that tT f will be defined Y for f E Lm so EY: Lm + Lm. Let us think of 6 working in Co generally Y (with Gb E C o ) and we will see however that stability estimates can be ob1 estimates o f the approximation of G;' to Gb.
