Fourier Transform for 3rd kind of boundary conditions?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the modified Fourier transform used to incorporate 3rd kind boundary conditions, specifically the formula $$ \Gamma [ f(x) ] = \bar{f}(a) = \int_{0}^{\infty } f(x) [a \cos(ax) + h\sin(ax)] dx $$, where $$ \Gamma $$ denotes the Fourier operator. The operational property is given by $$\Gamma [\frac{d^2f}{dx^2}] = -a^2 \bar{f}(a) - a [ \frac{df}{dx}|_{x=0} - hf|_{x=0} ]$$. The author seeks literature that provides a detailed derivation and applications of this formula, which can be derived using integration by parts. The discussion emphasizes the need for resources that elaborate on this specific mathematical approach.

I am studying online course notes from University of Waterloo on 'Analytical mathematics in geology' in which the author describes a 'modified Fourier transform' which can be used to incorporate 3rd kind of boundary conditions. The formula is
## \Gamma \small[ f(x) \small] = \bar{f}(a) = \int_{0}^{\infty } f(x) [a \cos(ax) + h\sin(ax)] dx ##
where $$ \Gamma $$ be the Fourier operator.
with operational property

##\Gamma [\frac{d^2f}{dx^2}] = -a^2 \bar{f}(a) - a [ \frac{df}{dx}|_{x=0} - hf|_{x=0} ]##

I am trying to look for the detailed derivation of this equation in literature but have not found so far! Can anybody tell me in which book I can find detailed derivation of this formula and possibly with application?

The formula is straightforward to derive it by adopting your definition of ##\Gamma## for ##d^2/dx^2## and using integration by parts twice. How you tried to derive the formula yourself?
