SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the convolution of a function with itself, specifically the operation defined as f*f*f...*f (n times). The convolution operation is expressed mathematically for n=2 as (f*f) = ∫_{0}^{x} dt f(t)f(t-x). Participants confirm that there are no mathematical restrictions preventing the extension of this operation to arbitrary orders, allowing for the exploration of higher-order convolutions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of convolution operations in mathematics
  • Familiarity with integral calculus
  • Knowledge of function properties and behavior
  • Basic concepts of mathematical analysis
NEXT STEPS
  • Research higher-order convolutions and their applications
  • Explore the properties of convolution in signal processing
  • Study the implications of convolution in probability theory
  • Learn about the Fourier transform and its relation to convolution
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, signal processing engineers, and anyone interested in advanced mathematical operations and their applications in various fields.

given a function f(t) could we define the operation

f*f*f*f*f*f*f*f**f*f*f*f*...*f n times ?

here the operation '*' means convolution of a function if n=2 i know the expression

(f*f)= \int_{0}^{x}dt f(t)f(t-x)

but i would like to see if this can be applied to arbitrary order , thanks.

There is nothing in mathematics to prevent you from doing it.
