LCONV - Linear convolution

Program code:

function h=lconv(f,g,varargin)
%LCONV  Linear convolution
%   Usage:  h=lconv(f,g);
%
%   LCONV(f,g) computes the linear convolution of f and g. The linear 
%   convolution is given by
%
%               Lh-1
%      h(l+1) = sum f(k+1) * g(l-k+1)
%               k=0
%
%   with L_{h} = L_{f} + L_{g} - 1 where L_{f} and L_{g} are the lengths of f and g, 
%   respectively.
%
%   LCONV(f,g,'r') computes the linear convolution of f and g where g is reversed.
%   This type of convolution is also known as linear cross-correlation and is given by
%
%               Lh-1
%      h(l+1) = sum f(k+1) * conj(g(k-l+1))
%               k=0
%
%   LCONV(f,g,'rr') computes the alternative where both f and g are
%   reversed given by
%
%               Lh-1
%      h(l+1) = sum conj(f(-k+1)) * conj(g(k-l+1))
%               k=0
%     
%   In the above formulas, l-k, k-l and -k are computed modulo L_{h}.
%
%   The input arrays f and g can be 1D vectors or one of them can be
%   a multidimensional array. In either case, the convolution is performed
%   along columns with row vectors transformed to columns.
