Abstract

Generally speaking, unlike the Fourier and Laplace transforms, we find that the Mellin transform is not very useful in a direct manner. It is quite effective, however, in the derivation of certain properties of integrals, in summing series, and in statistics. In this sense, we generally think of the Mellin transform as a sort of indirect tool in applications.
