For the prolate spheroidal wavefunction with m=0, there exists the integral equation whose kernel is (sin x)/x, and the sinc function kernel (sin x)/x is of great mathematical significance. We also extend the similar sinc function kernel (sin x)/x to the case m≠0 and s≠0, which interestingly turn out as some kind of Hankel transformations.展开更多
