    Convolution of characteristic function

    After some steps, I have obtained following for f3: $$\chi \ast \chi \ast \chi(x) = \begin{cases} 0, & x \notin [-2a,2a], \\ \int 1_{[-a,2a+x]}(y) \cdot (x+2a) \, dy, & x \in [-2a,-a], \\ \int 1_{[x,a]}(y) \cdot (x+2a) + 1_{[-a,x]}(y) \cdot (2a-x) \, dy, & x \in [-a,a] \\ \int 1_{[-2a+x,a]}(y)...

    Convolution of characteristic function

    Does this look more correct? \begin{align} \phi * \phi (x) = \begin{cases} 0 & x > 2a \ \ \text{or} \ \ x < -2a \\ x + 2a & \text{ if } x \leq [-2a, 0]\\ 2a - x & \text{ if } x \in [0,2a]\\ \end{cases} \end{align}

    Convolution of characteristic function

    So, should it be as: for f2: \begin{align} \phi * \phi (x) = \begin{cases} 0 & x \leq -2a \\ x & \text{ if } -2a \leq x \leq a\\ 2a - x & \text{ if } a \leq x \leq 2a\\ 0 & x \geq 2a \end{cases} \end{align} And for f3, do we need 7 different intervals, or did I get it wrong?
