This category is for fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithms, i.e. algorithms to compute the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) in O(N log N) time (or better, for approximate algorithms), where is the number of discrete points.
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).
The development of fast algorithms for DFT can be traced to Carl Friedrich Gauss's unpublished 1805 work on the orbits of asteroids Pallas and Juno.Gauss wanted to interpolate the orbits from sample observations; [6] [7] his method was very similar to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 ...
Rader's algorithm (1968), [1] named for Charles M. Rader of MIT Lincoln Laboratory, is a fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm that computes the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) of prime sizes by re-expressing the DFT as a cyclic convolution (the other algorithm for FFTs of prime sizes, Bluestein's algorithm, also works by rewriting the DFT as a convolution).
The prime-factor algorithm (PFA), also called the Good–Thomas algorithm (1958/1963), is a fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm that re-expresses the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) of a size N = N 1 N 2 as a two-dimensional N 1 ×N 2 DFT, but only for the case where N 1 and N 2 are relatively prime.
The Bailey's FFT (also known as a 4-step FFT) is a high-performance algorithm for computing the fast Fourier transform (FFT). This variation of the Cooley–Tukey FFT algorithm was originally designed for systems with hierarchical memory common in modern computers (and was the first FFT algorithm in this so called "out of core" class).
John Wilder Tukey (/ ˈ t uː k i /; June 16, 1915 – July 26, 2000) was an American mathematician and statistician, best known for the development of the fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm and box plot. [2]
Bruun's algorithm is a fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm based on an unusual recursive polynomial-factorization approach, proposed for powers of two by G. Bruun in 1978 and generalized to arbitrary even composite sizes by H. Murakami in 1996.
