Expansions of generalized functions have been investigated by many authors. Korevaar [11], Widlund [20], Giertz [8], Walter [19] developed procedures for expanding generalized functions of Korevaar [12], Temple [17], and Lighthill [13], Expansions of certain Schwartz distributions [15] into series of orthonormal functions were given by Zemanian [23] (see also Zemanian [24]) and thereby he extended a number of integral transforms to distributions. The method involved in his work is very much related to the Hilbert space technique and is of somewhat different character from those used in most of the works on integral transforms such as [24, chapters 1-8]. Other works that discuss orthogonal series expansions involving generalized functions are by Bouix [1, chapter 7], Braga and Schönberg [2], Gelfand and Shilov [7, vol. 3, chapter 4] and Warmbrod [21].
