A characterization of inverse Radon transform on the Laguerre hypergroup

Let K = [0,∞) × R be the Laguerre hypergroup which is the fundamental manifold of the radial function space for the Heisenberg group. In this note we give another characterization for a subspace of S(K) (Schwartz space) such that the Radon transform Rα on K is a bijection. We show that this characterization is equivalent to that in [M.M. Nessibi, K. Trimèche, Inversion of the Radon transform on the Laguerre hypergroup by using generalized wavelets, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 208 (1997) 337–363]. In addition, we establish an inversion formula of the Radon transform Rα in the weak sense. © 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
