Can it be "by assuming" or something of the sort? Is this a specialized phrase in Maths? Looks like, because it appears quite often in my document. Thank you for any suggestions you may have. Please find below the context:

La réponse en fréquence est la transformée de Fourier de la réponse impulsionnelle. Celle-ci peut donc être définie au sens des distributions pour des réponses divergentes en XXX mais pas pour des réponses divergentes exponentiellement XXX. On notera toutefois que cette réponse est toujours définie sous l’hypothèse de stabilité ; dans ce cas et dans ce cas seulement on passe des transmittances à variables complexes à la réponse en fréquence en posant XXX.

XXX - a function (something similar) that I cannot paste.

by putting

It really rather depends on what XXX is. I have just noticed that mediamatrix has put "by setting" in his/her explanation, and so have removed it from my target term(s). Still it's a good option.

Why don't you put the context up on your webspace and post a link to it?
