WHAT DOES CONVOLUTION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

convolution

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.

Definition of convolution in the English dictionary

The first definition of convolution in the dictionary is a twisting together; a turn, twist, or coil. Other definition of convolution is an intricate, involved, or confused matter or condition. Convolution is also Also called: gyrus. any of the numerous convex folds or ridges of the surface of the brain.
