In a recent paper [7] the author considered, among other things, the integral transform where is the fundamental solution of the heat equation There we gave a physical interpretation of the transform (1.1). Here we shall choose a slightly different interpretation, more convenient for our present purposes. If then u(O, t) = f(t). That is, the function f(t) defined by equation (1.1) is the temperature at the origin (x = 0) of an infinite bar along the x-axis t seconds after it was at a temperature defined by the equation .
