It's not clear to me from this what dyadic convolution is.

Circular convolution isn't "subtraction" it's the sum of products.
Ie Convolve(f,h)[k] = Sum(i = 0 -> N-1, f[i-k mod N]*h[i])

After reading your description I still have no idea what dyadic convolution
is.  Can you post a simple algorithm like the above?
