A fast FFT-based discrete Legendre transform
نویسندگان
چکیده
An O(N(logN)2/ loglogN) algorithm for computing the discrete Legendre transform and its inverse is described. The algorithm combines a recently developed fast transform for converting between Legendre and Chebyshev coefficients with a Taylor series expansion for Chebyshev polynomials about equallyspaced points in the frequency domain. Both components are based on the FFT, and as an intermediate step we obtain an O(N logN) algorithm for evaluating a degree N−1 Chebyshev expansion at an N-point Legendre grid. Numerical results are given to demonstrate performance and accuracy.

Hierarchical Load Balancing for Parallel Fast Legendre Transforms
We present a parallel Fast Legendre Transform (FLT) based on the Driscol{Healy algorithm with computation complexity O(N log 2 N). The parallel FLT is load{ balanced in a hierarchical fashion. We use a load{balanced FFT to deduce a load{ balanced parallel fast cosine transform, which in turn serves as a building block for the Legendre transform engine, from which the parallel FLT is constructed...
متن کاملFast Spherical Harmonic Transform Algorithm based on Generalized Fast Multipole Method
Spherical harmonic transform is the most important orthogonal function transform only except Fourier transform, and is used not only for climate simulation and signal processing but also for a base of several numerical algorithms. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), which runs in time O(N logN) is quite well known, but, for spherical harmonic transform, there is no fast algorithm which is as simple a...

This tutorial paper describes the methods for constructing fast algorithms for the computation of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) of a real-valued series. The application of these ideas to all the major fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithms is discussed, and the various algorithms are compared. We present a new implementation of the real-valued split-radix FFT, an algorithm that uses few...

متن کاملAccuracy of the Discrete Fourier Transform and the Fast Fourier Transform
Fast Fourier transform (FFT)-based computations can be far more accurate than the slow transforms suggest. Discrete Fourier transforms computed through the FFT are far more accurate than slow transforms, and convolutions computed via FFT are far more accurate than the direct results. However, these results depend critically on the accuracy of the FFT software employed, which should generally be...
