Oct 29, 2022 at 23:41 comment added Tom Copeland I disagree with the brief remarks, oft repeated, on the history of the Mellin transform in the Bertrand et al. paper. Before Riemann, Euler used the Mellin transform (at least for real arguments) in integral reps of the Euler gamma and beta functions, and Mellin gave much credit to Pincherle for inspiring his development of the transform pair.
Oct 29, 2022 at 23:38 comment added Tom Copeland A good overview of the mechanics of using the Mellin transform pair--encoding info on a function $f(x)$ into singularities of its Mellin transform $F(s)$--while also covering the topics in this stream is "The Mellin Transform" by Jacqueline Bertrand, Pierre Bertrand, and Jean-Philippe Ovarlez (hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-03152634/document).

Sep 15, 2015 at 1:13 comment added Tom Copeland For $ y < 0$, the Heaviside step function in the last integral is to be interpreted as setting the upper limit of the integral as the first zero from the origin of $ (1-|y|tx^{-|y|})^{\alpha/|y|}$, i.e., the upper limit should be $ t = x^{|y|}/|y|$ .

Sep 27, 2012 at 22:21 comment added Tom Copeland The Ramanujan divergent series relation to the Riemann zeta function can be generalized to more general Dirichlet series through $f(x)= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty } \varphi (n)e^{-nx} \rightarrow \sum_{j=0}^{\infty}\left ( \sum_{n=1}^{\infty }\varphi (n)n^j \right )\frac{\left ( -x \right )^j}{j!}\rightarrow \sum_{j=0}^{\infty} D_{\varphi}\left ( -j \right ) \frac{\left ( -x \right )^j}{j!}$
Sep 12, 2012 at 23:56 comment added Tom Copeland In a similar vein, look at $f(x)=H(1-x)(1-x)^\alpha=H(1-x)\sum_{n=0}^{\infty }\frac{\alpha!}{(\alpha-n)!}\frac{(-x)^n}{n!}$ with $H(x)$ the Heaviside step function, giving a fundamental result for fractional calculus, and for the iconic Ramanujan divergent series look at $f(x)=\frac{1}{e^x-1}=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }e^{-{nx}}\rightarrow \sum_{j=0}^{\infty }\left ( \sum_{n=1}^{\infty }n^j \right )\frac{(-x)^j}{j!}\rightarrow \sum_{j=0}^{\infty }\zeta (-j)\frac{(-x)^j}{j!}$ .
