Convolution using the basic definition/integration

51 Views Asked by At

I am trying to find out the convolution of the following two functions using integration but I got stuck. Please help!

Consider the following functions on $\mathbb R^n$:

$$f(x) = e^{-a|x|^2}, \ \ \ \ \ g(x) = e^{-b|x|^2}.$$

I am trying to find $f \ast g$ using the basic definition of the convolution:

$$(f \ast g ) (x) = \int_{\mathbb R^n} f(y)g(x-y) dy $$

My try : I tried to write the $|x|^2$ as a sum of its sqaured components and did similarly for the $|y|^2 $ but I am struggling with how to integrate the product i receive after doing this in side the integral.
