abstract：:If H denotes the classical Hilbert transform and Hu(x) = v(x), then the functions u(x) and v(x) are the values on the real axis of a pair of conjugate functions, harmonic in the upper half-plane. This note gives a generalization of the above concepts in which the Laplace equation Deltau = 0 is replaced by the Yukawa e...
