Titchmarsh convolution theorem

Titchmarsh convolution theorem

The Titchmarsh convolution theoremis named after Edward Charles Titchmarsh.The theorem describes the properties of the
support of the convolutionof two functions.

Titchmarsh convolution theorem

E.C. Titchmarshproved the following theorem in 1926:

:If phi(t) and psi(t) are integrable functions, such that::int_{0}^{x}phi(t)psi(x-t),dt=0:almost everywhere in the interval 0, then phi(t)=0 almost everywhere in (0,lambda), and psi(t)=0 almost everywhere in (0,mu), where lambda+mugekappa.

This result, known as the Titchmarsh convolution theorem,could be restated in the following form:

:Let phi,,psiin L^1(mathbb{R}). Then infmathop{ m supp},phiast psi=infmathop{ m supp},phi+infmathop{ m supp},psi if the right-hand side is finite.:Similarly, supmathop{ m supp},phiastpsi=supmathop{ m supp},phi+supmathop{ m supp},psi if the right-hand side is finite.

This theorem essentially states that the well-known inclusion:{ m supp},phiast psisubsetmathop{ m supp},phi+mathop{ m supp},psiis sharp at the boundary.

The higher-dimensional generalization in terms of the
convex hull of the supports was proved by
J.-L. Lions in 1951:

: "If phi,,psiinmathcal{E}'(mathbb{R}^n), then mathop{c.h.}mathop{ m supp},phiast psi=mathop{c.h.}mathop{ m supp},phi+mathop{c.h.}mathop{ m supp},psi."

Above, mathop{c.h.} denotes the convex hull of the set.mathcal{E}'(mathbb{R}^n)denotesthe space of distributions with compact support.

The theorem lacks an elementary proof.The original proof by Titchmarshis based on the Phragmén-Lindelöf principle,
Jensen's inequality,
Theorem of Carleman,and
Theorem of Valiron.More proofs are contained in [Hörmander, Theorem 4.3.3] (Harmonic analysis style), [Yosida, Chapter VI] (Real analysis style),and [Levin, Lecture 16] (Complex analysis style).
