n this brief communication we present a new integral transform, so far un- known, which is applicable, for instance, to studying the kinetic theory of natural eigenmodes or transport excited in plasmas with bounded distribution functions such as in Q machines/plasma diodes or in the scrap-off layer of Tokamak fusion plasmas. The results are valid for functions of Lp {,σS ,μ}
function spaces—Lebesgue spaces, which are defined using a natural genera- lization of the p-norm for finite-dimensional vector spaces, where is the real set, σS is the σ -algebra of Lebesgue measurable sets, and μ the Le-
besguemeasure. AK:Lp[0,L]→Lp[0,L],sothat f →AK(f).Notethat, using a simpler notation, more natural/known to engineers, f could be consi- dered any piecewise continuous function, that is: f ∈ PC [0, L]. Here
PC [0, L] is a Euclidian space with the usual norm (inner product: f , f ) 2 ∫L 2
givenby: f = f,f 0 f=(x)dx [1]. Keywords
