Abstract
This paper deals with a number of applications of the correlation and faltung functions, their Fourier transforms and their integrals. It is possible to show that various types of distortions produced by a recording instrument do not affect the value of the integral of the quantity recorded. This should be of great interest to designers of recording instruments. The advantage of using the F.T. in compounding probability distribution functions is pointed out with an illustration giving a short derivation of Kluyver’s famous distribution for the problem of random walk in two dimensions by using this method. Finally, the relation of the correlation function to the Patterson function of a crystal structure is also pointed out.
