On the convolution identity of a sub arc of circle and the open set which is thickened epsilon amount of another subarc in circle.
Let $\sigma_I=\{e^{2i\pi t}:t\in I\}$ and $\sigma_J=\{e^{2\pi i t}:t\in J\}$ be two disjoint subarcs on the the first quadrant of unit circle of arc length $\theta$, where $I,J\subseteq [0,1/4]$ of ...

If all convolutions of a tempered distribution T with any compactly supported function are compactly supported, is T compactly supported?
What I mean is that we have $T \in \mathcal{S}'(\mathbb{R}^n)$ such that for all $f \in C^\infty_c (\mathbb{R}^n)$, we have that $\mathrm{supp}(T \ast f)$ is compact, and we're asking whether $\mathrm{...

Can Young's inequality give a pointwise bound for a convolution?
I’m trying to understand a step in Appendix A.1 of Bejenaru and Herr, The cubic Dirac equation: small initial data in $H^1(\mathbb{R}^3)$. The paper proves global well-posedness for the cubic Dirac ...

Evaluation of a Broken-up Convolution Integral
I would like a comment on the correctness of my derivation below: I have the following Duhamel Convolution integral $$ U(t)=\int_0^t e^{-p(t-y)}f(y)\text{d}y $$ For reasons that have to do with the ...

Difficult Convolution Problem -- I Am Stuck with the Integration
I have the following function which is a probability density function on the $-1 < t < 1$ interval: $$f(t) = \frac{2\sqrt {1-t^2}}{\pi}$$ I wish to convolve this function with itself to get a ...

Circular convolution modulo $3$
I am working with a convolution sum of the form $$ h(j) = \sum_{k=0}^2 f\!\big((j-k) \bmod 3\big)\, g(k), $$ where $f, g : \{0,1,2\} \to \mathbb{C}$. Because of the modulo $3$ structure in the index ...

How to recover differentiator approximation from RC circuit solution?
I'm reading The Art of Electronics, in 1.4.3, the section on passive differentiators. The math of the situation is given by $$\frac{d}{dt}(V_{in}(t)-V_{out}(t))=\frac{1}{RC}V_{out}(t)\tag{1}$$ In the ...
