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 $f$ ...

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, ...

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}\...

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 ...
