a : (N,) array_like

 First one-dimensional input array.

 v : (M,) array_like

 Second one-dimensional input array.

 mode : {‘full', ‘valid', ‘same'}, optional

 ‘full':

  By default, mode is ‘full'. This returns the convolution at each point of overlap, with an output shape of (N+M-1,). At the end-points of the convolution, the signals do not overlap completely, and boundary effects may be seen.
 ‘same':

  Mode same returns output of length max(M, N). Boundary effects are still visible.
 ‘valid':

  Mode valid returns output of length max(M, N) - min(M, N) + 1. The convolution product is only given for points where the signals overlap completely. Values outside the signal boundary have no effect.

out : ndarray

 Discrete, linear convolution of a and v.
