Convolution and a specific function

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the convolution operation in mathematical analysis, specifically exploring the function g that satisfies the equation Convolve[f,g,x,y] = f[y1]. It is established that using DiracDelta[x-y1] as the function g achieves this result, effectively allowing the convolution to evaluate the function f at a specific point y1. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the definition of convolution in this context.

Hi there.

We know that Convolve[f,g,x,y] = f[y] if g = diracdelta. My question is, what should be g so that Convolve[f,g,x,y] = f[y1] where y1 is a parameter of the g function. I.e. Is there any function g such that, when convolved with another f, gives the evaluation of f on a given point?

Yep, simply DiracDelta[x-y1] does the deal.
 
Can you make your statement a bit more clear. how are you defining the convolution?
