Gauss transform
From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
The linear functional transform of a function defined by the integral
If , then ; for real values , the operator is self-adjoint [1]. The inversion formula for the Gauss transform is
If , the Gauss transform is known as the Weierstrass transform.

Comments
The above inversion formula can be interpreted in terms of semi-groups. Another way to invert the Gauss transform is to write in the first equation , from which substitution a double-sided Laplace transform results. Then the inversion formula follows from well-known Laplace-transform techniques.
