Some of these may apply to higher-dimensional convolutions.
Sum of convolution as product of sum of inputs
If we have convolve1d(x, y, mode="full").sum()
, we can rewrite it as x.sum() * y.sum()
import numpy as np
rng = np.random.default_rng(37)
x = rng.normal(size=(5))
y = rng.normal(size=(9))
np.testing.assert_allclose(np.convolve(x, y).sum(), x.sum() * y.sum())
convolve constant kernels
If we have two sequential applications of convolve, with constant inputs we can convolve the constant inputs first, reducing the number of runtime convolutions
import numpy as np
rng = np.random.default_rng(37)
x = rng.normal(size=(5))
y1 = rng.normal(size=(9))
y2 = rng.normal(size=(3,))
r1 = np.convolve(np.convolve(x, y1), y2)
r2 = np.convolve(x, np.convolve(y1, y2))
np.testing.assert_allclose(r1, r2)
Merge convolutions with flipped inputs
Convolutions give the same output regardless of order of inputs, so if we see two with the same inputs but in different order we can merge them. In general, we may want to have an Op
property that tells us when the output is invariant to the order of inputs to apply such merge automatically. This Applies to Add
, Mul
, ...

r1 = np.convolve(x, y)
r2 = np.convolve(y, x)
np.testing.assert_allclose(r1, r2)
