   From which, by num’rous convolutions wound,
   Wrap’d with th’ attending nerve, and twisted round. Richard Blackmore.

1. convolution

   Convolution is a mathematical operation used frequently in signal processing and system analysis. It is a process that combines two functions to produce a third function that expresses how the shape of one function is modified by the other. In essence, it provides a way of "mixing" two signals together, often used to describe the effect of a system's input on its output.

1. Convolution

   In mathematics and, in particular, functional analysis, convolution is a mathematical operation on two functions f and g, producing a third function that is typically viewed as a modified version of one of the original functions, giving the area overlap between the two functions as a function of the amount that one of the original functions is translated. Convolution is similar to cross-correlation. It has applications that include probability, statistics, computer vision, image and signal processing, electrical engineering, and differential equations. The convolution can be defined for functions on groups other than Euclidean space. For example, periodic functions, such as the discrete-time Fourier transform, can be defined on a circle and convolved by periodic convolution. And discrete convolution can be defined for functions on the set of integers. Generalizations of convolution have applications in the field of numerical analysis and numerical linear algebra, and in the design and implementation of finite impulse response filters in signal processing. Computing the inverse of the convolution operation is known as deconvolution.

Examples of convolution in a Sentence

1. Michel Foucault:

   Chance does not speak essentially through words nor can it be seen in their convolution. It is the eruption of language, its sudden appearance. It's not a night twinkle with stars, an illuminated sleep, nor a drowsy vigil. It is the very edge of consciousness.
