Integral convolution equation $\int_{B_n(R) } e^{- \| x - t\|} d\nu(t) = e^{- \|x \|^2/2}$ on $x \in B_n(R)$. Find measure $\nu$

Let $B_n(R)$ denote the $n$ ball centered at zero with radius $R$. We are interested in the following integral equation: given $R>0$ and $\lambda>0$, let \begin{align} \int_{B_n(R)} e^{- \...

Is there a classification of 2D projective convolution kernels?

Is there any classification of all distributions on $\mathbb{R}^2$ such that they are equal to the convolution with themselves? i.e. given a distribution $\gamma$ under which conditions $$ \gamma\star\...

Fourier transform relation for spherical convolution

Let $f$ and $g$ be two functions defined over the 2d sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$. The convolution between $f$ and $g$ is defined as a function $f * g$ over the space $SO(3)$ of 3d rotations as $$(f*g)(R) = \...

Is there an generalisation of convolution theorem to integral transforms

Basic convolutions can be computed efficiently by taking fourier transforms and applying the convolution theorem. Is there something analogous for a more general transform, where we have a varying ...

2-Wasserstein metric on convolution of probability distributions

I have two related questions. Let $\mu$ and $\nu$ be two distinct probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with finite second moments, and $W_2(\cdot,\cdot)$ be the $2$-Wasserstein metric. The question ...

Deconvolution using the discrete Fourier transform

Summary: From discrete convolution theorem, it is understandable that we need 2N-1 point DFT of both sequences in order to avoid circular convolution. If we need to do deconvolution of a given ...

Convolution, Fourier transforms, and area preservation [closed]

Consider the convolution of two functions, f * g. And let us assume, for practicality, some example case where an integral of f or g can be interpreted as the "area under the curve" (or the ...

Is there (fast) fourier transform for vector convolution?

Given a list of variables $u_1,\dots,u_m\in\mathbb R$ and $v_1,\dots,v_n\in\mathbb R$ the standard convolution is defined $$U*V(t)={\sum_{i}} u_iv_{t-i}.$$ Given a list of vectors $u_1,\dots,u_m\in\...

Level sums, displacements: how to determine them efficiently?

Let $R =\mathbb{Z}/N \mathbb{Z}$. Let $f:R\to \mathbb{R}$, $\rho:R\to \lbrack 0,1\rbrack$. We assume that it takes trivial time to compute any given value $f(m)$ or $\rho(m)$. Define $$S(\delta,m) = ...
