I am solving laplaces equation in the half plane and I have the following boundary condition of which I need to find the Fourier transform in the x-direction

[tex]S_\epsilon(x) = sgn(x)exp(\epsilon|x|), \epsilon >0[/tex]

[tex]sgn(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}1,&\mbox{ if }<br /> x<0\\-1, & \mbox{ if } x<0\\ 0, &\mbox{ if } x=0\end{array}\right.[/tex]

any hints on how to approach this FT??

there is a typo for the function sgn(x)? note that
[tex]-S_\epsilon (x) = S_\epsilon (-x)[/tex] is an odd function... and you should get a Fourier sine series
