Extract

If F(f) denotes the Fourier transform of a generalized function f and f * g denotes the convolution product of two generalized functions f and g then it is known that under certain conditions

Jones (2) states that this is not true in general and gives as a counter-example the case when f = g = H, H denoting Heaviside's function. In this case

and the product (x−1iπδ)2 is not defined in his development of the product of generalized functions.
