At the Association for Computing Machinery's Symposium on Discrete Algorithms (SODA), a group of MIT researchers will present a new algorithm that, in a large range of practically important cases, ...

The fast Fourier transform, one of the most important algorithms of the 20th century, revolutionized signal processing. The algorithm allowed computers to quickly perform Fourier transforms — ...

COFDM, the modulation method used by most terrestrial DTV standards, depends on implementation of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) for demodulating the thousands of carriers used in OFDM system. An ...

Sparse Fourier Transform (SFT) algorithms constitute a transformative approach to spectral analysis by leveraging the inherent sparsity of signals in the frequency domain. In contrast to the ...
