SUMMARY

The discussion centers on proving the equivalence of two functions related to convolution identity, specifically G(2t-τ1-τ2) = G(t-τ1) G(t-τ2)/c. The user has confirmed their equivalence through numerical checks but struggles with the analytical proof, particularly with the double integral involved. The challenge lies in simplifying the double integral into a single integral expression, which remains unresolved. Assistance is sought to navigate this analytical proof process.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of convolution operations in mathematical analysis.
  • Familiarity with double and single integrals in calculus.
  • Knowledge of function properties and transformations.
  • Experience with numerical methods for function verification.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research techniques for simplifying double integrals to single integrals.
  • Explore convolution identities in mathematical physics.
  • Study analytical proof methods for function equivalence.
  • Learn about numerical verification techniques for mathematical functions.
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, physicists, and engineers working on analytical proofs, particularly those dealing with convolution identities and integral calculus.

Hi there,
working on a physical problem I found two functions that should be equivalent, and indeed they seem to be after a numerical check.

The functions are shown in the attached PDF. I can not figure a way to prove their equivalence analytically (the double integral especially gives me grief when trying to "unravel" it, to get to a single integral expression)
Any help would be so appreciated, thank you very much

G(2t-τ12) = G(t-τ1) G(t-τ2)/c
The double integral then factors into two separate integrals which are identical in effect.
