I love the FFT even more than you and enjoyed that it is getting lauded, but would have found more algorithmic details even more interesting. Breaking down DFT, etc. and then showing the performance magic of FFT is a great way to approach discussion of many issues in problem analysis and algorithm design.
So, Nice enough article for slipping into the topic - now give me more! harder! faster!
- exg 13y agoSparse fast Fourier transform is even more "magical" than fast Fourier transform (FFT). If you assume that the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) has only k non zero coefficients, then, there exists an algorithm to compute it in O(k log(n)). That's right, you do not have to see the entire signal to compute the DFT, which is pretty awesome. If you are interested, see http://groups.csail.mit.edu/netmit/sFFT/ http://groups.csail.mit.edu/netmit/sFFT/ .
