Minimizing vertical integral of a Mellin transform

Let $\eta:[0,\infty)\to [0,\infty)$ satisfy $\eta(0)=1$ and $\int_0^\infty \eta(x) dx = 1$ (say). Write $M\eta$ for the Mellin transform of $\eta$. Let $\epsilon>0$ be small. What is the choice of $...

What does Mellin inversion "really mean"?

Given a function $f: \mathbb{R}^+ \rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ satisfying suitable conditions (exponential decay at infinity, continuous, and bounded variation) is good enough, its Mellin transform is ...
