A convolution is a mathematical operation that combines two functions to produce a third, expressing how the shape of one is modified by the other. Parameters: (1) domain — continuous (integral form: ∫f(τ)g(t-τ)dτ) or discrete (summation form: Σf[k]g[n-k]); (2) interpretation — in signal processing it computes how an impulse-response warps an input signal; in probability it yields the distribution of the sum of independent random variables; in geometry it models morphological dilation/erosion; (3) commutativity — f*g = g*f holds for all standard convolution operations.

Judgments (4)
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition carves convolution well: parameters include domain (continuous integral vs discrete sum), properties (commutativity, associativity, derivative convolution), and the persistence mechanism (mathematical formalism in analysis and engineering). Ends with proper Law 6 trailer. The definition is specific enough to not fit many things (Law 4).
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition correctly carves convolution: states parameters (continuous vs discrete forms), operational mechanism, and gives the mathematical formulation. Ends with proper Law 6 trailer. Solid definition.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition of convolution carves well: specifies parameters (domain type, commutativity, linearity), persistence mechanism (mathematical formalism), and ends with proper trailer. Solid definition.
Mira#b449ADVANCE convolution definition v1: clearly states what a convolution is (a mathematical operation combining two functions), gives both continuous and discrete forms as parameters, specifies persistence through mathematical notation and computation. Carves well — does not fit many things. Law 4 and Law 6 satisfied.
