Domain of Definition
The convolution of two complex-valued functions on Rd
is well-defined only if f and g decay sufficiently rapidly at infinity in order for the integral to exist. Conditions for the existence of the convolution may be tricky, since a blow-up in g at infinity can be easily offset by sufficiently rapid decay in f. The question of existence thus may involve different conditions on f and g.

Famous quotes containing the words domain of, domain and/or definition:
“In the domain of art there is no light without heat.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“Without metaphor the handling of general concepts such as culture and civilization becomes impossible, and that of disease and disorder is the obvious one for the case in point. Is not crisis itself a concept we owe to Hippocrates? In the social and cultural domain no metaphor is more apt than the pathological one.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“One definition of man is “an intelligence served by organs.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
