Convolution with a special approximation to the identity function

731 Views Asked by At

I'm working my way through Stein and Shakarchi's Real Analysis, and I'm having some trouble figuring this exercise out.

Given the function $K_\delta$ that satisfies the normal approximation to the identity properties

$|K_\delta(x)| \leq A\delta^{−d}$ for all $\delta > 0$

$|K_\delta(x)| \leq A\delta/|x|^{d+1}$ for all $\delta > 0$

but

$\int_{-\infty}^\infty{K_\delta(x)dx}= 0$ for all $\delta > 0$

prove that if $f$ is integrable on $R^d$ then $(f*K_\delta)(x) \to 0$ as $\delta \to 0$ for a.e $x$.

Is it enough to use $\int_{R^d}(f*K_\delta)(x)=\int_{R^d}f\int_{R^d}K_\delta$? The domain of integration is confusing me - integrating over $R^d$ the same as integrating over $-\infty$ to $\infty$ in this case, correct? Then $\int_{R^d}(f*K_\delta)(x)=0$. Am I missing something?

Thanks for the help.
