The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is a widely used algorithm that computes the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) using much fewer operations than a direct implementation of the DFT. FFTs are of great ...
Researchers have developed a new algorithm that, in a large range of practically important cases, improves on the fast Fourier transform. Under some circumstances, the improvement can be dramatic -- a ...
For a large range of practically useful cases, MIT researchers find a way to increase the speed of one of the most important algorithms in the information sciences. The Fourier transform is one of the ...
