Many ‘of the important linear operators acting on functions defined on R have sim ple relations with these two families. For example, diferentiation commutes with the translations. More generally, in the setting of tempered distribu- tions, the class of convolution operators are characterized by this property ‘of commuting with translations (differentiation is abtained by convolving the distribution that is the derivative of the “Dirac-delta function”). Similar observations can be made about the family of dilations. A most important operator acting on functions (or, more generally, on tempered
