Lower bound of the derivative $(f*g_\sigma)'$ at the zero-crossing point

I am stuck with the following problem. Let consider $f$ a smooth real function such that: $f$ is negative before 0, $f$ is positive after 0, we have $|f'(0)|>0$. Let $\sigma>0$ and $g_\sigma$ ...

Uniqueness of the zero of $f-f*G_\sigma$ with $f$ convex/concave

I am struggling with the following problem. Let $f$ be a real smooth function: strictly convex on $(-\infty,0)$, strictly concave on $(0,\infty)$, strictly increasing. For $\sigma>0$, how can one ...

Distance between root of $f$ and its Gaussian convolution

Let $f$ be a : $f\in\mathcal{C}^\infty(\mathbb{R},\mathbb{R})$, for all $x> 0,~f(x)>0$, for all $x< 0,~f(x)<0$, I am struggling to find a bound for the distance between the root of $f$ ...

Just how regular are the sample paths of 1D white noise smoothed with a Gaussian kernel?

Adapted from math stack exchange. Background: the prototypical example of---and way to generate---smooth noise is by convolving a one-dimensional white noise process with a Gaussian kernel. My ...

Convolution between normal distribution and the maximum over $m$ Gaussian draws

$\DeclareMathOperator\erf{erf}$ Let's consider the Gaussian distribution $P_X(x)= \frac{1}{\sqrt{2 \pi \sigma^2}} e^{- \frac{x^2}{2 \sigma^2}}$. Now consider the random variable $W \equiv \max \{ X_1, ...

Recovering a function from its Gaussian convolution

Let $\varphi(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}}\exp(-x^2/2)$ be the Gaussian density and $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ another measurable function. Under what conditions can $f$ be recovered from its convolution ...

Fast computation of convolution integral of a gaussian function

Given a convolution integral $$ g(y) =\int_a^b\varphi(y-x)f(x)dx=\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}\varphi(y-x)f(x)\mathbb{I}_{[a,b]}(x)dx $$ where $\varphi(x)= \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}}\exp{\left(-\frac{x^2}{2}\...

Convolution of two Gaussian mixture model

Suppose I have two independent random variables $X$, $Y$, each modeled by the Gaussian mixture model (GMM). That is, $$ f(x)=\sum _{k=1}^K \pi _k \mathcal{N}\left(x|\mu _k,\sigma _k\right) $$ $$ g(y)=\...

Convolve a 4D Gaussian function along a plane?

There is a 4D Gaussian function $G(u,s)=G(x|c,\mu,\Sigma )$ where $x=\begin{bmatrix}u\\ s\end{bmatrix}$,$u$ and $s$ is all 2D vector. Now I want to blur (convolve) it along with $u$ by another 2D ...

Mathematical Techniques to Reduce the Width of a Gaussian Peak

In the chemical analysis by instruments, the signals of several molecules are overlapped which makes it difficult to determine the true area of each peak, such as those shown in red. I simulated this ...
