PutThis function is bounded near zero and is $O(u^{-2})$ at infinity, so $H\in L^1(\mathbb{R})$ and the defining integral for $g$ converges absolutely.

For the triangular functiondirect integration givesThe Fourier inversion theorem, or equivalently the Fourier transform of a triangular function, therefore yieldsIn particular $g(x)=0$ whenever $|x|>1$. Finally,This also agrees with the Plancherel theorem applied to $h$ and $H$.
