s
Proof. Rewriting in operational format, we note that cos(t) = s2 +1
s 2
z+2 z = δet
s2 +1
Which of course simplifies to
s2 + 1 t2
z= e
(s + 1)2
Apply partial fraction decomp, this is equal to:
2 2 2
z = (− + 2
+ 1)et
s + 1 (s + 1)
Immediately yielding our solution:

z(t) = −2 e e du + 2 (t − u)eu−t eu du + et
0 0
Z t
f (t) = J0 (t − u)z(u)du

Where Jn denotes the nth Bessel Function.
Proof. It can be show that (s2 + 1)1/2 = {J0 (t)}. Using this,
f = (s2 + 1)1/2 z
=⇒ z = (s2 + 1)−1/2 f

Where we’ve assumed f (0) = 0.

We can then employ the quadratic equation as usual since we are
working in the convolution algebra.

Thus we get two solutions:

and
z(t) = δ(t) + et

And we thus have our solution:

Theorem 2.7. Solve the generalized Abel equation where α ∈ (0, 1).
Z x
φ(y)
f (x) = dy
0 (x − y)α
Proof. The typical method of solving this it by means of Kernel com-
position and noticing that you get a recognizable integral, but use of
operational methods is cleaner and requires only knowledge of the re-
flection formula of the gamma function.
Γ(1−α)
In operator form, we note that when α ∈ (0, 1), { t1α } = s1−α
