For , the convolution equals the length of the overlap of two intervals:
It is continuous and compactly supported, with . Inverse Fourier transform turns this convolution into a product, so
This function is bounded near zero and at infinity, hence lies in . Fourier inversion, or the convolution theorem applied first to the integrable interval indicators, gives .
