Any chance to get the moments of this exotic distribution?
Let us define the following cumulative distribution:
\begin{align}
\Pr (Y(t)\geq a)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{e^{-kt}(kt)^n }{n!}\int_a^\infty[\circledast_{f}\circ H_a ]^n\delta (x) dx
\end{align}
where ...

Convolution vanishes on an interval
Fix a "test" function $f(x)=x\exp(-x^2)$, which is nonzero except $x=0$. Suppose that $g$ is a function with some necessary regularity. Consider the convolution.
$$
(f\ast g )(x)=\int_{-\infty}^{+\...

Existence theorems Volterra Equation of second kind on unbounded domains
The general Volterra Equation of the second kind in convolution form can be described by:
$$
\phi(x) = \int_a^x K(x-t)\phi(t)\, \mathrm{d}t + f(x), \text{ for } x\geq a
$$
Suppose we wish to ...

Is there a version of the Titchmarsh Convolution theorem to find singular support?
Okay, some terminology, correct me if I'm wrong.
Singular support - the set on which a distribution fails to be smooth. In this case a piecewise function.
Is there a name for $f*f*f$? The ...

Which classes of functions are "convolution ideals"?
If $g$ is continuous then $f*g$ is continuous.
If $g$ is smooth then $f*g$ is smooth.
If $g$ is a polynomial then $f*g$ is a polynomial.
If just one of the two functions belongs to the class of well-...

Is there a name for the general type of operation that sweeps a kernel over a function (e.g. like convolution, morph. dilation, registration, etc)
There is a certain family of 'sweeping' operators / functions $S(y; f,k,g)$, where:
$f$ is a function $f : x \mapsto \mathbb{R}^N$
$k$ is a 'kernel' function $k : x \mapsto \mathbb{R}^N$
$y$ ...

Bounded convolutions with binomial coefficients
I need to figure out a nice family of decaying functions such that
$\sum_{d=2}^k {k \choose d} f_k(d) \leq 1/k$ and $f_k(d)\geq f_k(d+1)$
How can I figure out what good candidates could be?

Subquadratic multiplication of probability mass functions (with log-convolution?)
We are currently looking for a fast, i.e. subquadratic, algorithm for the following equation:
$z_m = \sum_{i,j :\, (i \cdot j) = m} x_i \cdot y_j$.
That is, we are given two finite input vectors $x$ ...
