− | In part d) of the problem used \( e^{-ax^{2}}\sqrt{2\pi} \widehat{F_l}(s) \) with \( s = 2axi \). But a Fourier-transform can't take complex arguments - I didn't know that either so I checked here: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourier_transform#Definition] So you might rather use the trick we've used in problem 3 with completing the square. Actually you can copy that from the guys of group Y on the Dropbox, they got a pretty solid solution. - A.

− | ''@Un vieil homme:'' I think the Fubini idea doesn't work. We've proven Fubini at Kowalski's for Riemann-integrable functions so I guess that's the theorem we can use. Fubini only works for compact intervals which is not the case above. - A.

− | In (1b), we showed that for \(f, g \in L^1(\mathbb{R}^n)\), the Fourier transform of the convolution is:
| + | |
− | $$\widehat{f*g}(k) = \sqrt{2\pi}^n \hat f(k) \hat g(k)$$
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Here, we have \(n=1\) and can thus write:
| + | |
− | $$\widehat{F_a*F_b}(k) = \sqrt{2\pi} \ \hat F_a(k) \hat F_b(k)$$
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | We insert the Fourier transform of \(F_a\) and \(F_b\), which we found in (1c):
| + | |
− | $$\begin{align}
| + | |
− | \widehat{F_a*F_b}(k) &= \sqrt{2\pi} \ \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2a}} e^{-\frac{k^2}{4a}}\; \frac{1}{\sqrt{2b}} e^{-\frac{k^2}{4b}}\right) \\
| + | |
− | &= \sqrt{\frac{\pi}{2ab}}\exp\left(-\frac{k^2}{4}\left(\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}\right)\right) \\
| + | |
− | &= \sqrt{\frac{\pi}{a+b}} \sqrt{\frac{1}{2\frac{ab}{a+b}}} \exp\left(-\frac{k^2}{4}\frac{a+b}{ab}\right) \\

− | &= \alpha \hat F_c(k)

− | for \(c=\frac{ab}{a+b}\) and \(\alpha = \sqrt{\frac{\pi}{a+b}}\)

− | Because of the linearity of the Fourier transform, we can conclude:

− | $$(F_a*F_b)(x) = \alpha F_c(x)$$
