Abstract

Formul{\ae} are derived for expressing Cauchy and Hilbert transforms of a function ff in terms of Cauchy and Hilbert transforms of f(xr)f(x^r). When rr is an integer, this corresponds to evaluating the Cauchy transform of f(xr)f(x^r) at all choices of z1/rz^{1/r}. Related formu\ae\ for rational rr result in a reduction to a generalized Cauchy transform living on a Riemann surface, which in turn is reducible to the standard Cauchy transform. These formul{\ae} are used to regularize the behaviour of functions that are slowly decaying or oscillatory, in order to facilitate numerical computation and extend asymptotic results.
