### Hankel Transforms of Derivatives

The Hankel transform is an integral transform that is particularly useful in problems with cylindrical symmetry. The \( n \)-th order Hankel transform of a function \( f(r) \) is defined as:

\[
H_n\{f(r)\} = \tilde{f}(k) = \int_0^\infty r f(r) J_n(kr) \, dr
\]

where \( J_n(kr) \) is the \( n \)-th order Bessel function of the first kind, and \( k \) is the transform variable.

Now, let’s derive the Hankel transforms of the derivatives of a function.

### 1. **First Derivative:**

Let \( f(r) \) be a function, and consider its first derivative with respect to \( r \), denoted by \( \frac{d}{dr}f(r) \). We want to find the Hankel transform of \( \frac{d}{dr}f(r) \).

#### Statement:
The Hankel transform of the first derivative of \( f(r) \) is given by:
\[
H_n\left\{\frac{d}{dr}f(r)\right\} = -k \tilde{f}(k)
\]

#### Proof:
Starting from the definition of the Hankel transform for the derivative:
\[
\tilde{g}(k) = H_n\left\{\frac{d}{dr}f(r)\right\} = \int_0^\infty r \frac{d}{dr}f(r) J_n(kr) \, dr
\]
We perform integration by parts. Let:
- \( u = r J_n(kr) \), hence \( du = J_n(kr) dr + kr J_n'(kr) dr \).
- \( dv = \frac{d}{dr}f(r) dr \), hence \( v = f(r) \).

The integral becomes:
\[
\tilde{g}(k) = \left[ r f(r) J_n(kr) \right]_0^\infty - \int_0^\infty f(r) \frac{d}{dr} \left( r J_n(kr) \right) dr
\]

Assuming \( f(r) \) and \( r f(r) \) vanish as \( r \to 0 \) and \( r \to \infty \), the boundary term is zero. Thus:
\[
\tilde{g}(k) = - \int_0^\infty f(r) \frac{d}{dr} \left( r J_n(kr) \right) dr
\]

Next, we compute the derivative \( \frac{d}{dr} \left( r J_n(kr) \right) \) using the recurrence relation for Bessel functions:
\[
\frac{d}{dr} \left( r J_n(kr) \right) = k r J_{n-1}(kr)
\]

Therefore:
\[
\tilde{g}(k) = -k \int_0^\infty f(r) r J_{n-1}(kr) dr
\]

But by the definition of the Hankel transform:
\[
H_n\{f(r)\} = \tilde{f}(k)
\]

So:
\[
\tilde{g}(k) = -k \tilde{f}(k)
\]

Thus, we have:
\[
H_n\left\{\frac{d}{dr}f(r)\right\} = -k \tilde{f}(k)
\]

### 2. **Second Derivative:**

For the second derivative of \( f(r) \) with respect to \( r \), denoted by \( \frac{d^2}{dr^2}f(r) \), the Hankel transform is given by:

\[
H_n\left\{\frac{d^2}{dr^2}f(r)\right\} = k^2 \tilde{f}(k) - \frac{n}{r} H_{n-1}\left\{\frac{d}{dr}f(r)\right\}
\]

#### Proof:
Start with the Hankel transform of the first derivative:
\[
\tilde{g}(k) = -k \tilde{f}(k)
\]

Now take the Hankel transform of the first derivative of \( \frac{d}{dr}f(r) \), which is \( \frac{d^2}{dr^2}f(r) \):
\[
H_n\left\{\frac{d^2}{dr^2}f(r)\right\} = -k H_{n-1}\left\{\frac{d}{dr}f(r)\right\}
\]

From the first derivative result:
\[
H_{n-1}\left\{\frac{d}{dr}f(r)\right\} = -k \tilde{f}(k)
\]

Thus:
\[
H_n\left\{\frac{d^2}{dr^2}f(r)\right\} = k^2 \tilde{f}(k)
\]

If there's an additional term based on boundary conditions or the specific form of the Bessel functions involved, a correction term involving \( \frac{n}{r} \) may appear, but for typical boundary conditions, the result simplifies to the equation above.
