11. Who started the Convolution theorem?
a) Sylvestre François Lacroix
b) Vito Volterra
c) Pierre Simon Laplace
d) D’Alembert
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: One of the earliest uses of the convolution integral appeared in D’Alembert’s derivation of Taylor’s theorem, 1754.Sylvestre François Lacroix, has also used convolution on page 505 of his book entitled Treatise on differences and series.

12. What is periodic convolution?
a) Continuous type superposition
b) Periodic type summation
c) Discrete type addition
d) Summation of both continuous and periodic type
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: When a function g is periodic, with period T, then for functions, f, such that f∗g exists, the convolution is also periodic. This is called a periodic convolution.
Example: f*g=∫∑[f(e+kT)]g(t-e).

13. What is a circular or cyclic convolution?
a) Convolution of a periodic and continuous time function
b) Convolution of a periodic and discrete time function
c) Superposition of periodic and periodic function
d) Summation of continuous time and a convolution of a periodic function convolution
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: The circular convolution is done of two aperiodic functions (i.e. Schwartz functions) happens when one of them is convolved in the normal way with a periodic summation of the other given function.
(Xn*h)[n]=∑h[m].xn[n-m], for discrete sequences n.
