Function that is (essentially) a self-convolution but not a multiple of a self-convolution

Call a function $F:\mathbb{R}\to C$ nice if it is of the form $F = f\ast \tilde{f}$, where $\tilde{f}(x) = \overline{f(-x)}$. (Of course nice functions are precisely those whose Fourier transform is ...

Functions such that the *integral* of the Fourier transform is non-negative?

Let $f:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ be in $L^1$, with its Fourier transform $\widehat{f}$ also in $L^1$. What is a necessary and sufficient condition on $f$ so that $$\int_{-\infty}^x \widehat{f}(t) dt \...
