Laplace and Fourier transforms are widely used independently in engineering
for linear differential equations including fractional differential
equations. Here we introduce a generalized integral transform, which is a
generalization of the Fourier transform, Laplace transform and other
transforms, e.g., Elzaki Sumudu transform, Aboodh transform, Pourreza
transform and Mohand transform, making the new transform much attractive and
promising. Its basic properties are elucidated, and its applications to
initial value problems and integral equations are illustrated, when coupled
with the homotopy perturbation, it can be used for various nonlinear
problems, opening a new window for nonlinear science.
