Discrete Kontorovich–Lebedev transforms

Abstract

Discrete analogs of the classical Kontorovich–Lebedev transforms are introduced and investigated. It involves series with the modified Bessel function or Macdonald function $$K_{in}(x), x >0, n \in {\mathbb {N}}, i $$ is the imaginary unit, and incomplete Bessel functions. Several expansions of suitable functions and sequences in terms of these series and integrals are established. As an application, a Dirichlet boundary value problem in the upper half-plane for inhomogeneous Helmholtz equation is solved.
