The convolution of surfaces

In this study, the convolution of two surfaces in R^3 is studied by the use of two Minkowski sums of two convex objects. This thesis consists of 5 chapters. The first chapter is the introduction. In the second chapter, theoretical foundations for the next part are given. In the third chapter, the calculations related to the convolution of the surface with an arbitrary parameter and the paraboloid surface in R^3 are given. In addition, the calculation of Gaussian curvature of these surfaces is shown. However, Gaussian curvature of the convolution surface was characterized. In the fourth chapter, the paraboloid surface in R^3 is examined by the graf surface and the rotational surface given by the monge patch. As a result, Gaussian curvatures of these convolution surfaces were calculated. In addition, some examples are given to support these results. In the fifth chapter, the results obtained in the other chapters are discussed and the results and suggestions are expressed.
