An N-point DFT is expressed as the multiplication =, where is the original input signal, is the N-by-N square DFT matrix, and is the DFT of the signal. The transformation matrix W {\displaystyle W} can be defined as W = ( ω j k N ) j , k = 0 , … , N − 1 {\displaystyle W=\left({\frac {\omega ^{jk}}{\sqrt {N}}}\right)_{j,k=0,\ldots ,N-1 ...
The choice of eigenvectors of the DFT matrix has become important in recent years in order to define a discrete analogue of the fractional Fourier transform—the DFT matrix can be taken to fractional powers by exponentiating the eigenvalues (e.g., Rubio and Santhanam, 2005).
The DTFT itself is a continuous function of frequency, but discrete samples of it can be readily calculated via the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) (see § Sampling the DTFT), which is by far the most common method of modern Fourier analysis. Both transforms are invertible.
The development of fast algorithms for DFT can be traced to Carl Friedrich Gauss's unpublished 1805 work on the orbits of asteroids Pallas and Juno.Gauss wanted to interpolate the orbits from sample observations; [6] [7] his method was very similar to the one that would be published in 1965 by James Cooley and John Tukey, who are generally credited for the invention of the modern generic FFT ...
Density functional theory (DFT) is a computational quantum mechanical modelling method used in physics, chemistry and materials science to investigate the electronic structure (or nuclear structure) (principally the ground state) of many-body systems, in particular atoms, molecules, and the condensed phases.
One can ask whether the DFT matrix is unitary over a finite field. If the matrix entries are over F q {\displaystyle F_{q}} , then one must ensure q {\displaystyle q} is a perfect square or extend to F q 2 {\displaystyle F_{q^{2}}} in order to define the order two automorphism x ↦ x q {\displaystyle x\mapsto x^{q}} .
[note 3] Still further generalization is possible to functions on groups, which, besides the original Fourier transform on R or R n, notably includes the discrete-time Fourier transform (DTFT, group = Z), the discrete Fourier transform (DFT, group = Z mod N) and the Fourier series or circular Fourier transform (group = S 1, the unit circle ≈ ...
The Cooley–Tukey algorithm, named after J. W. Cooley and John Tukey, is the most common fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm. It re-expresses the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) of an arbitrary composite size = in terms of N 1 smaller DFTs of sizes N 2, recursively, to reduce the computation time to O(N log N) for highly composite N (smooth numbers).
