Abstract
In this paper, we extend Hartley and Hartley-Hilbert transformations (HT and HHT, respectively) to a certain space of tempered distributions. We then establish a certain convolution theorem for the HHT. The convolution theorem, obtained in this way, has been shown to possess a factorization property of Fourier convolution type. Proving the new convolution theorem for the HHT, by the usual convolution product, the transform is investigated on a certain space of Boehmians. Its properties of linearity and convergence are also discussed in the context of Boehmian spaces.

1 Test function spaces and distributions
The idea of specifying a function not by its values but by its behavior as a functional on some space of testing functions is a concept that is quite familiar to scientists and engineers through their experience with the classical Fourier and Laplace transformations. Test functions, on which distributions operate, cannot in general be written down in an explicit form. The advantage of distributions over classical functions is that the distribution concept provides a better mechanism for analyzing certain physical phenomena than the function concept does because, for one reason, various entities such as the delta function δ can be correctly described as a distribution but not as a function. Furthermore, physical quantities that can be adequately represented as a function can also be characterized as a distribution. In addition, distributions attain an infinite number of derivatives and those derivatives always exist, which is not applied to functions.
The space of testing functions, denoted by , consists of all complex-valued functions φ that are infinitely smooth and zero outside some finite interval. The set of continuous linear forms (conjugates or dual space) on constitutes a space of distributions, denoted by .
A distribution f in can be represented, corresponding to , through the convergent integral
The space of complex-valued smooth functions is denoted by ℰ and its dual space is denoted by .
By we denote the space of all complex-valued functions φ that are infinitely smooth and are such that as , they and their partial derivatives decay to zero faster than all powers of . Elements of are called testing functions of rapid descents. is indeed a linear space.
If , then its partial derivatives are in . In fact, is dense in and is dense in ℰ. The dual space of is called the space of tempered distributions and denoted by with a property that , being the (conjugate of ℰ) space of distributions of compact support. For the convergence on , ℰ and and their topologies, we refer to [1, 2].
2 HT and HHT of tempered distributions
2.1 Introduction to HT and HH transforms
The Hartley transform (HT) was introduced originally by Hartley 1942 as an integral transform with a number of properties similar to those of the Fourier transform (FT). The HT of a function over R is a real function defined by [3, 4]
or
Some properties of HT are:
-
(i)
Shift: .
-
(ii)
Modulation: .
-
(iii)
Derivative: .
-
(iv)
Convolution: The convolution theorem of HT is given as
(3)
The Hilbert transform via the Hartley transform, the Hartley-Hilbert transform (HHT), is defined by [5]
where
are the odd and even components of the HT.
The HHT, which permits some attractive applications in geophysics and signal processing, has been extended to a specific space of generalized functions (Boehmian spaces) in [6].
2.2 First convolution theorem of HHT
Convolutions of integral transforms which possess the factorization property of Fourier convolution type have become of interest to many authors and have been applied to solving systems of integral equations. In [7], we studied the convolution theorem for HHT in some detail. In this paper we make the idea more precise. We define some generalized convolution of HHT that permits a factorization property of Fourier convolution type.
Let U be a linear space and V be a commutative algebra on the field K. Let be a linear operator from U to V. A bilinear map is called the convolution for T if for any . The image is denoted by .
Theorem 2.1 (First convolution theorem of HHT)
Let HH f, HH g be the HHT s of f and g, respectively, then
where
Proof Under the hypothesis of the theorem, we write
which can be written as
where
and
Then, with a simple modification, we get

Similarly, we proceed for to get , is the integral equation given in (7).
Hence the theorem. □
Theorem 2.2 Let f, g and h be functions, then:

Proof (i) Let . By the aid of Theorem 2.1, we get
Proof of (ii) is analogous to that of the first part.

(iii)
Let , then using the definition of HHT and that of ⋆, we get
Hence, the properties of HT odd and even parts, , , and that of the integral operator ∫ imply that .
Proof of (iv) is analogous to that given for part (ii).
This completes the proof. □
Next is a straightforward corollary of Theorem 2.2.

2.3 HT and HHT of distributions
In this subsection we discuss HT and HHT on a tempered distribution space.
Theorem 2.4 If f is in , then H f is also in .
Proof If , then HT certainly exists. Differentiating, in the ordinary sense, the right-hand side of the integral equation
with respect to x yields
This is because the right-hand side of (9) converges uniformly for each x.
Indeed, integrating by parts m times and by the fact that
as for each , we get
Since , the integral on the right-hand side of (10) is bounded by constants, say . Hence
for every pair of non-negative m and k. This completes the proof. □
Corollary 2.5 If f is in , then and are in .
Corollary 2.6 If f is in , then HH f is also in .
Proof By Corollary 2.5, . Thus, the linearity of and the fact that for every imply .
Let , then, by the aid of Corollary 2.5 and Corollary 2.6, we are led to the following definitions:
and
The right-hand sides of (11) and (12) are well defined and, therefore, from the left-hand sides of (11) and (12), we get that
for each .
This can be stated in similar words as: HT and HHT of tempered distributions are tempered distributions. □
Corollary 2.7 If , then .
Theorem 2.8 Let , then H f and HH f are both linear mappings from into .
Proof Let and , be arbitrary, then
Similarly, we proceed for HH f, . Hence the theorem. □
3 Generalized distributions
One of the youngest generalizations of functions, and more particularly of distributions, is the theory of Boehmians. The name Boehmian space is given to all objects defined by an abstract construction similar to that of field of quotients. The construction applied to function spaces yields various spaces of generalized functions.
For a linear space Y and a subspace X of Y, assume that to all pairs , of elements, , , the products , are assigned such that the following conditions are satisfied:
-

Let Δ be a family of sequences from X such that for then:

The elements of Δ are called delta sequences.
Consider the class A of pairs of sequences defined by

The pair is said to be quotient of sequences, denoted by , if
Two quotients of sequences and are said to be equivalent, , if
The relation ∼ is an equivalent relation on A and hence splits A into equivalence classes. The equivalence class containing is denoted by . These equivalence classes are called Boehmians and the space of all Boehmians is denoted by , see [8].
The sum and multiplication by a scalar of two Boehmians can be defined in a natural way

The operation ∗ and differentiation are defined by and . Many times, Y is equipped with the notion of convergence. The intrinsic relationship between the notion of convergence and the product ∗ are given by:

-
(2)
If as in Y and , then in Y as .
The operation ∗ is extended to by the following definition.
Definition 3.1 If and , then .
In , two types of convergence, δ and Δ convergence, are defined as follows.
Definition 3.2 A sequence of Boehmians in is said to be δ-convergent to a Boehmian β in , denoted by , if there exists a delta sequence such that , , and
The following lemma is equivalent to the statement of δ-convergence.
Lemma 3.3 () in if and only if there are and such that , and for each ,
Definition 3.4 A sequence of Boehmians in is said to be Δ-convergent to a Boehmian β in , denoted by , if there exists an such that , , and as in Y. See, for example, [7, 9–12] and [2].
