Extract

Let λ be a random variable with the distribution function F(λ). A transform of F which has, in effect, been used in several recent papers ([1], [2], [3], [4]; see also [6]) is

defined formally by the equation

It is the main purpose of this paper to prove the inversion formulae given in the two theorems below.
