The regularity of two functions and their convolution

39 Views Asked by At

$\quad$ I've heard that the regularity of convolution of two functions is more affected by the function that is more regular. As examples, here are some I know.

  1. if $f\in\mathcal L^1$ and $g\in\mathcal L^1$, then $f*g\in\mathcal L^1$.
  2. if $f\in\mathcal L^1$, $g\in\mathcal L^0$ and $g$ bounded, then $f*g$ is uniformly continuous.
  3. if $f\in\mathcal L^1$ and $g\in C^\infty$, then $f*g\in C^\infty$.

$\quad$ So it seems that as long as convolution exists, its regularity is not too bad. Is there, I wonder, a more general, rigorous conclusion? The statement "the regularity of convolution depends more on the function with better regularity" seems not rigorous.

$\quad$ This is an open question, and any discussion is welcome.

$\quad$ By the way, this seems to have a lot to do with the idea of partial differential equations, and anything about PDEs is also welcome to be discussed.
