Beschreibung:
The discrete acyclic convolution computes the 2n+1 sums ∑_{i+j=k|(i,j)∈[0,1,2,… ,n]²} a_i b_j in ?(n log n) time. By using suitable offsets and setting some of the variables to zero, this method provides a tool to calculate all non-zero sums ∑_{i+j=k|(i,j)∈ P∩ℤ²} a_i b_j in a rectangle P with perimeter p in ?(p log p) time. This paper extends this geometric interpretation in order to allow arbitrary convex polygons P with k vertices and perimeter p. Also, this extended algorithm only needs ?(k + p(log p)² log k) time. Additionally, this paper presents fast algorithms for counting sub-cadences and cadences with 3 elements using this extended method.
