Equiconvergence Theorems for Fourier-Bessel Expansions with Applications to the Harmonic Analysis of Radial Functions in Euclidean and Noneuclidean Spaces

We shall prove an equiconvergence theorem between Fourier-Bessel expansions of functions in certain weighted Lebesgue spaces and the classical cosine Fourier expansions of suitable related functions.
