convolution theorem

The convolution theorem states that in certain mathematical settings, particularly in signal processing and image analysis, the way two functions combine (or "convolve") can be understood through their individual behaviors in the frequency domain. Essentially, instead of directly calculating how one function impacts another in real space, you can analyze their effects by transforming them into a different space where multiplication is easier. This property allows for efficient calculations and insights, helping us understand complex systems, such as audio signals or digital images, by breaking them down into simpler components and combining their effects systematically.
