Abstract: We give a sufficient condition for the strict parabolic power concavity of the convolution in space variable of a function defined on $mathbb{R}^{n}imes(0,+infty)$ and a function defined on $mathbb{R}^n$. Since the strict parabolic power concavity of a function defined on $mathbb{R}^{n}imes(0,+infty)$ naturally implies the strict power concavity of a function defined on $mathbb{R}^n$, our sufficient condition implies the strict power concavity of the convolution of two functions defined on $mathbb{R}^n$. As applications, we show the strict parabolic power concavity and strict power concavity in space variable of the Gauss--Weierstass integral and the Poisson integral for the upper half-space.
