Laplace Transform in the context of Gelfand/Pontryagin

Questions: Is there a class of objects (presumably related to locally compact abelian groups) for which the quasi-characters canonically generalize the Laplace transform? If not, is there a ...

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 $...

Decay of Laplace (or Mellin) transform beyond region of convergence?

Let $f:[0,\infty)\to \mathbb{R}$ be a piecewise differentiable function with $f(0)=0$ and $f'(t)$ of bounded variation. Its Laplace transform $\mathcal{L}f$ converges for $\Re s > 0$. Assume it can ...

Expressing 1-e^{-z} as a Fourier integral

According to the theory of screw functions and screw lines by John Von Neumann and Issai Schoenberg (see here), any function $F:\mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such that $F(|x_i - x_j|) = \|f(x_i)-...
