convolve
Convolve, in mathematics, refers to a mathematical operation on two functions, producing a third function that expresses how the shape of one function is modified by the other. It is a fundamental tool in digital signal processing and image processing, often used for filtering or smoothing signals. The convolution of two functions is represented as 'f ∗ g'. It's the integral over all space of one function, reversed and shifted by a certain amount, and multiplied by another function, as a function of the amount of shift.
