Is it true that p-integrable function can be written as a convolution of an integrable function and p-integrable function?
We know that convolution of an integrable function with an $p$-integrable is an $p$-integrable function. This follows from Young's inequality.
My question: Is it true that $L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)\subseteq ...

Are there probability densities $\rho, f_n$ such that $\lim_n \frac{[\rho * f_n]_\alpha}{\|\rho * f_n\|_\infty} = \infty$?
We fix $\alpha \in (0, 1)$. Let $[f]_\alpha$ be the best $\alpha$-Hölder constant of $f: \mathbb R^d \to \mathbb R^k \otimes \mathbb R^m$, i.e., $[f]_\alpha := \sup_{x \neq y} \frac{|f(x) - f(y)|}{|x-...
