SUMMARY
The discussion centers on proving the convolution of the sinc function, specifically that sinc(t) * sinc(t) = sinc(t). The user initially approached the problem by converting it to the frequency domain, utilizing the property that the product of two rect functions in frequency space results in a rect function, which corresponds to the sinc function in the time domain. However, they seek an alternative method to prove this without relying on frequency domain transformations, particularly focusing on evaluating the integral of the convolution directly.
