Narayanan %A Amit Samanta %J Mathematics %D 2010 %I arXiv %X We consider convolution equations of the type f * T = g where f, g are in L^p(R^n) and T is a compactly supported distribution. Under natural assumptions on the zero set of the Fourier transform of T we show that f is compactly supported, provided g is. Similar results are proved for non compact symmetric spaces as well. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1002.3875v1
