The obverse convolution of sequences
  s = (s(0), s(1), ...) and t = (t(0), t(1), ...)
is introduced here as the sequence s**t given by
s**t(n) = (s(0)+t(n)) * (s(1)+t(n-1)) * ... * (s(n)+t(0)).
Swapping * and + in the representation s(0)*t(n) + s(1)*t(n-1) + ... + s(n)*t(0)
of ordinary convolution yields s**t.
If x is an indeterminate or real (or complex) variable, then for every sequence t of real (or complex) numbers, s**t is a sequence of polynomials p(n) in x, and the zeros of p(n) are the numbers -t(0), -t(1), ..., -t(n).
Following are abbreviations in the guide below for triples (s, t, s**t):
F = (0,1,1,2,3,5,...) = A000045, Fibonacci numbers
L = (2,1,3,4,7,11,...) = A000032, Lucas numbers
P = (2,3,5,7,11,...) = A000040, primes
T = (1,3,6,10,15,...) = A000217, triangular numbers
C = (1,2,6,20,70, ...) = A000984, central binomial coefficients
LW = (1,3,4,6,8,9,...) = A000201, lower Wythoff sequence
UW = (2,5,7,10,13,...) = A001950, upper Wythoff sequence

In the guide below, sequences s**t are identified with index numbers Axxxxxx; in some cases, s**t and Axxxxxx differ in one or two initial terms.

The obverse convolutions listed in Table 1 are, trivially, divisibility sequences. Likewise, if s = (-1,-1,-1,...) instead of s = (1,1,1,...), then s**t is a divisibility sequence for every choice of t; e.g. if s = (-1,-1,-1,...) and t = A279019, then s**t = A130031.

If n = 2*k, then s**s(n) has the form 2*s(k)*m^2, where m is an integer.

a(3) = (0+2) * (1+1) * (1+1) * (2+0) = 16
As noted above, a(2*k+1) is a square for k>=0. The first 5 squares are 1, 16, 3600, 12320100, 701841817600, with corresponding square roots 1, 4, 60, 3510, 837760.
If n = 2*k, then s**s(n) has the form 2*F(k)*m^2, where m is an integer and F(k) is the k-th Fibonacci number; e.g., a(6) = 2*F(3)*(192)^2.
