Necessary conditions for the convergence of averages with large values of the parameter (Q1595702)

Given a function \(f\in L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)\) and a function \(\phi\in L^1(\mathbb{R}^n)\), let \(f^*\phi_\varepsilon\) be the convolution with the ``stretched'' function \(\phi_\varepsilon(x)= \varepsilon^{-n}\phi(x/\varepsilon)\), \(\varepsilon> 0\). Necessary and sufficient conditions for the convergence of \(f^*\phi_\varepsilon\) as \(\varepsilon\to 0\) and \(\varepsilon\to \infty\) are obtained in terms of a certain weighted dyadic norm of \(\phi\). Related results of other authors are mentioned.
