Is a smooth function with compact support in $mathbb{R}$ can be written as the convolution of two square...

Suppose h is smooth compact supported function on $mathbb{R}$. How to show that there exist $f, g in L^2(mathbb{R}, m)$, where $m$ is the usual Lebsegue measure, such that $h = f * g $, where $*$ denotes the convolution?

          Here is an outline:



          Consider this in the Fourier domain: $widehat{h}=widehat{f}widehat{g}$. $widehat{h}$ is smooth and rapidly decaying based on the properties of $h$. Take $widehat{f}$ to be something positive and smooth with polynomial decay. Then $widehat{g} = widehat{h}/widehat{f}$.

            Thank you very much. Just a simple trick on the Fourier Transform. I see it..
