SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the effects of changing intervals and arguments in convolution integrals, particularly when convolving two pulses defined from -1 to +1. It is established that altering the integration limits results in the H function no longer being equal to 1 within the new interval, as the '1' part of the H function is excluded. The convolution integral evaluates to zero outside the defined range of the pulses, which clarifies the confusion regarding the transition indicated by the red arrow.
