Questions tagged [convolution]

Questions on the (continuous or discrete) convolution of two functions. It can also be used for questions about convolution of distributions (in the Schwartz's sense) or measures.

Convolution is a commutative, associative, distributive operation between two functions that produces a third function. It is defined in the continuous domain as

$$(x \ast y)(t)=\int_{-\infty}^\infty{x(\tau)\space{}y(t-\tau)}\space{}d\tau$$

And in the discrete domain as

$$(x \ast y)[n]=\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty{x[k]\space{}y[n-k]}$$

Its identity is the Dirac delta function $\delta(t)$ in continuous domain, and the Kronecker delta function $\delta[n]$ in discrete domain.

Convolution of cosine and shifted unit step

I'm trying to understand the basics of a convolution and have troubles with the following task: $$ x_1 = \cos(2 \pi t ) \cdot u(t) $$ $$ x_2 = u(t-0,5)$$ The task is to compute the convolution $$x_1 \ast x_2 $$ So I tried to compute the integral $$…

Convolution of function with itself

I'm trying to tackle the following question: Let $\displaystyle g_a(x)=\begin{cases}1-\frac{|x|}{a},&x<0\\0,|x|\ge0\end{cases}$. Find $g_a\ast g_a$. So, I tried to compute it by definition $\displaystyle g_a\ast…

Convolution with additional cosine

I want to perform a convolution, but as a complication there is a cosine of the angle between any pair of vectors in the expression: \begin{equation} f(\theta^{\prime}) = \int d\theta…

Convolution of scaled variable

A rather simple question... Is the following true? $$f * f(\frac{x}{a}) = \int_\mathbb{R} f(u)f(\frac{x}{a}-u)du$$ Or is it $$f * f(\frac{x}{a}) = \int_\mathbb{R} f(\frac{u}{a})f(\frac{x}{a}-u)du$$ or something else...?

How to sketch commutative property of convolution

I've been asked to sketch why $$y(n)=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}x(k)h(n-k) = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty}h(k)x(n-k)$$ are equivalent expressions for convolution. I could explain this pretty easily with a proof, but can't think of a concise way to illustrate this.…

Compute the convolution of two compactly supported functions

I'm looking for a concrete example to understand the computation procedure for convolution: Let $f, g \in C_{0}^{\infty}(\mathbb R)$ be defined as follows: $$f(x) := e^{-\frac{1}{1-x^2}}1_{(-1,1)} $$ $$g(x) := e^{-\frac{1}{1-(x-1)^2}}1_{(0,2)}…

2D Convolution notation confusion?

We can express 2D convolution between $f(m,n)$ and $h(m,n)$ as following \begin{align} g(m,n) &= \displaystyle \sum_{k_1=-\infty}^{\infty} \sum_{k_2=-\infty}^{\infty} f_{\!_{k_1,k_2}}h(m-k_1,n-k_2)\tag{1}\\ …

Convolution of a Dirac impulse with a periodic signal

I have to do a convolution of a periodic signal with a Dirac impulse. $\quad \quad x(t)=\sin(π\, t)(u(t)−u(t−2))$ $\quad \quad h(t)=u(t−1)−u(t−3)$ The first is a periodic signal that intersects the x-axis at points 0, 1, 2, .... The second is a…
