Subtle distinction in "completeness"?
This is somewhat vague, but please bear with me. Complete metric spaces are supposed to take care of "gaps", they're understood as a natural extension of dense sets.
The convolution, defined ...

$\frac{\partial}{\partial x}\int_{\mathbb{R}}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2 \pi \varepsilon}}e^{-\frac{(x-y)^2}{2\varepsilon}}l(y)dy\leq C\frac{1}{x}$
Let $l$ be a continuous bounded function ($l$ is not differentiable). I want to prove for $x$ large enough that
$$\frac{\partial}{\partial x}\int_{\mathbb{R}}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2 \pi \varepsilon}}e^{-\...

Does convolution with $(1+|x|)^{-n}$ define an operator $L^p(\mathbb R^n) \to L^p(\mathbb R^n)$
Suppose that $f : \mathbb R^n \to \mathbb R^n$ is a locally integrable function. I am interested in the integral
$$ x \to \int_{\mathbb R^n} ( 1 + |y| )^{-n} f(x-y) \;dy $$
If the decay of the ...

Does convolution commute with Lebesgue–Stieltjes integration?
Let $g: \mathbb R \to \mathbb R$ be a function of locally bounded variation, and $f$ a locally integrable function with respect to $dg$, the Lebesgue–Stieltjes measure associated with $g$.
Let $\eta$ ...

A question about the convolution theorem
I have the following "argument" about Fourier series, which I know is wrong because it yields a ridiculous conclusion. However, I don't know where the mistake is, and need to know which step is the ...

When can a convolution be written as a change of variables?
Suppose $X$ is a random variable with a density $f(x)$ such that $f(x)$ is a convolution of some density $g$ with some other density $q$:
$$
f = g\ast q.
$$
Under what conditions does $X=h(Y)$, where $...

How can we show this estimate for the convolution of two probability measures?
Let $(\delta_k)_{k\in\mathbb N}\subseteq(0,\infty)$ be nonincreasing with $\delta_k\xrightarrow{k\to\infty}0$ and $(\varepsilon_k)_{k\in\mathbb N}\subseteq(0,\infty)$ with $\sum_{k\in\mathbb N}\...

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-...

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 $g_\sigma$ ...

Does the tensor product of mollifiers work for $L^{p,q}$ spaces?
Let $X$ and $Y$ be compact regions of $n$- and $m$-dimensional Euclidean spaces respectively.
For any $p,q \in [1,\infty)$, define $L^{p,q}(X \times Y)$ be the space of real valued functions $f :X \...

What is the term for convoluting but scaling the time domain instead of shifting?
Given that the convolution definition as far as I am aware is:
$(f*g)(t) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty f(\tau)g(t-\tau)d\tau$
Here I see that the functions f and ...

How to prove the combinatorial equality? [closed]
Please, help me to understand following convolution (or give a reference):
$$
\sum_{R=0}^N \binom{R}{r} \binom{N-R}{n-r} = \binom{N+1}{n+1}
$$
Why is it true?
Thank you!
