This work develops an analytical framework for the Hartley transform, which, unlike the Fourier transform, converts real-valued functions into real-valued functions. We derive Parseval–Goldstein-type identities for suitable classes of functions and establish Abelian theorems in the setting of compactly supported distributions and generalized functions. Moreover, a finite formulation of the Hartley transform is constructed and analyzed within the spaces of distributions of compact support and generalized functions.
Negrín et al. (2026) studied this question.
