The Dual of the MKW Hopf Algebra: the Grossman-Larson Convolution #

This file defines the convolution product on linear functionals of ordered forests induced by the MKW coproduct,

(α ∘ β)(ω) = ⟨α ⊗ β, Δ_N(ω)⟩ = Σ_{cuts} α(P^c(ω)) β(R^c(ω)),

which by arXiv:math/0603023 (Section 3) is the Grossman-Larson product on the graded dual of H_N. Associativity follows from coassociativity of Δ_N, the unit laws from the counit laws, and the shuffle-multiplicative functionals (the exponential Lie-Butcher series) are closed under the product by the bialgebra law — the character group of Lie group integrators.

    The counit is a left unit for the Grossman-Larson convolution.

    The counit is a right unit for the Grossman-Larson convolution.

    Associativity of the Grossman-Larson convolution, dual to coassociativity of the MKW coproduct.

    A functional on ordered forests is a shuffle character if it is normalized and multiplicative for the shuffle product: these are the exponential Lie-Butcher series of arXiv:math/0603023, Lemma 2.

      The Grossman-Larson convolution of shuffle characters is a shuffle character: Lie group integrators form a group under composition (arXiv:math/0603023, Section 3).
