let f, g be L 1 ( R ) functions with Lebesgue measure. Define f t ( x ) = f ( x / t ) t . Prove f t g converges to a g in L 1 when t 0 + , where a = R f ( x ) d x.

my approach in brief: since f , g L 1 , by Tonelli-Fubini's theorem, we can show
R f t g d x = ( R f ( x ) d x ) R g ( y ) d y
R f t g d x = ( R f ( x ) d x ) R g ( x ) d x
R ( f t g ( R f ( x ) d x ) R g ( x ) ) d x = 0
Therefore,
R | f t g ( x ) a g ( x ) | d x = 0
I am feeling something is wrong with my approach. Do correct me and give me some hints for solving this simple question.

We have
q ( t ) := R | f t g ( x ) a g ( x ) | d x R | f t ( y ) | ( R | g ( x y ) g ( x ) | d x ) d y := R | f t ( y ) | φ ( y ) d y
Suppose that g is the indicator function of an interval [ α , β ] , then φ ( y ) = 2   min ( | y | , β α ) , hence
q ( t ) 2 R | f ( s ) | min ( t | s | , β α ) d s
which converges to 0 by the monotone convergence theorem when t 0 + .
The general result follows by density of the space of step functions in L 1 ( R ) .

The last inequality is a clever step.
