## Abstract

Suppose that $\Gamma$ is a continuous and self-adjoint Hankel operator on $L^2(0, \infty )$ with kernel $\phi (x+y)$ and that $Lf=-(d/dx)(a(x)df/dx)+b(x)f(x) with$a(0)=0$. If$a$and$b$are both quadratic, hyperbolic or trigonometric functions, and$\phi$satisfies a suitable form of Gauss's hypergeometric differential equation, or the confluent hypergeometric equation, then$\Gamma L=L\Gamma\$. There are also results proving rapid decay of the singular numbers of Hankel integral operators with kernels that are analytic and of exponential decay in the right half-plane.
