Abstract

We consider the fractal convolution of two maps f and g defined on a real interval as a way of generating a new function by means of a suitable iterated function system linked to a partition of the interval. Based on this binary operation, we consider the left and right partial convolutions, and study their properties. Though the operation is not commutative, the one-sided convolutions have similar (but not equal) characteristics. The operators defined by the lateral convolutions are both nonlinear, bi-Lipschitz and homeomorphic. Along with their self-compositions, they are Fréchet differentiable. They are also quasi-isometries under certain conditions of the scale factors of the iterated function system. We also prove some topological properties of the convolution of two sets of functions. In the last part of the paper, we study stability conditions of the dynamical systems associated with the one-sided convolution operators.
