Generalized version of the Fourier Transform

[klpskp]

Hello everyone,

I was trying to develop a sort of generalized version of the Fourier Transform. My question in particular is:
Given a function f(x,u), is there a function g(x,u) with \int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x,u)g(x,u')\mathrm{d}x=\delta(u-u')

For f(x,u)=e^{2\pi ixu} the solution would be g(x,u)=\frac{1}{2\pi}e^{-2\pi ixu}. Are there other pairs with this property?

Thank you for your help :)

look at the theory of Sturm-Liouville functions

What you are looking for is the concept of an orthonormal basis in a Hilbert space (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert_space).
