Hilbert kernel

From HandWiki



The kernel of the Hilbert singular integral, i.e. the function

$$

\mathop{\rm cotan}  {

\frac{x - s }{2}

} ,\ \ 

0 \leq x, s \leq 2 \pi . $$

The following simple relation holds between the Hilbert kernel and the Cauchy kernel in the case of the unit circle:

$$

\frac{dt }{t - \tau }

 =  {

\frac{1}{2}

}

\left ( \mathop{\rm cotan} { \frac{x - s }{2}

} + i \right )  dx,

$$

where $ t = e ^ {ix} $, $ \tau = e ^ {is} $.
