Convolution is well defined in $L^1$












1












$begingroup$


I know that this question has been "answered" before, but I am struggling to understand the solutions previously given.



Let $f$ and $g$ be in $L^1(R, L, m)$



a) Show that $f*g$ is well defined for a.e. $x in R$. That is show $f(x-y)g(y)$ is integrable for all x.



b) Show that $ ||f*g||_1 le||f||_1||g||_1$



I have the following so far:



For part a)
$|int f(x-y)g(y)dy|le int |f(x-y)||g(y)|dy le ||f||_infty ||g||_1$ by Holder's Inequality?



$||f*g||_1 = intint f(x-y)g(y)dydx = intint f(x-y)g(y)dxdy$ by Fubini Tonelli



= $int g(y)int f(x-y)dxdy = int g(y)dy int f(x)dx = ||f||_1||g||_1 $ by translation invariance.



First in part b, why is it an inequality instead of an equality? Is this a typo?



I have seen arguments that the proof of b implies a too, or simply saying "apply Tonelli's theorem" to prove part a, but have yet to find anything concrete for an answer.

    For $b$, from the definition of $|.|_1$ you should have lots of $|.|$s. Adding these back will show you why its only an inequality, not an equality

Actually, you do prove $b$ before proving $a$. Let $F(x,y)=f(x-y)g(y)$. $F$ is clearly measurable, and $|F|$ is clearly integrable over $mathbb{R}^2$, with integral $|f|_1|g|_1$ (Fubini-Tonelli theorem ensures that all manipulations are legit on the double integral of $|F|$ so you can integrate wrt $x$ first, make the change of variables $x=x’+y$).



Then you use Fubini’s theorem to prove that $x longmapsto int{F(x,y)dy}$ is well-defined and absolutely convergent ae and is in $L^1(mathbb{R})$ with norm at most $|f|_1|g|_1$.

    Suppose that $f, gin L^1$. Then
    $$int int |f(t)g(x-t)|, dt , dx = int |f(t)| int |g(x - t)|, dx
    = int f(t) |g|_1 , dt = |f|_1 |g|_1. $$
