Rader's FFT Algorithm
Rader's algorithm (1968), 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 number, prime sizes by re-expressing the DFT as a cyclic convolution (the other algorithm for FFTs of prime sizes, Bluestein's FFT algorithm, Bluestein's algorithm, also works by rewriting the DFT as a convolution). Since Rader's algorithm only depends upon the periodicity of the DFT kernel, it is directly applicable to any other transform (of prime order) with a similar property, such as a number-theoretic transform or the discrete Hartley transform. The algorithm can be modified to gain a factor of two savings for the case of DFTs of real data, using a slightly modified re-indexing/permutation to obtain two half-size cyclic convolutions of real data; an alternative adaptation for DFTs of real data uses the discrete Hartley transform.Matteo Frigo and Steven G.

FFT Visual Rader 11
A fast Fourier transform (FFT) is an algorithm that computes the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) of a sequence, or its inverse (IDFT). A Fourier transform converts a signal from its original domain (often time or space) to a representation in the frequency domain and vice versa. The DFT is obtained by decomposing a sequence of values into components of different frequencies. This operation is useful in many fields, but computing it directly from the definition is often too slow to be practical. An FFT rapidly computes such transformations by factorizing the DFT matrix into a product of sparse (mostly zero) factors. As a result, it manages to reduce the complexity of computing the DFT from O(n^2), which arises if one simply applies the definition of DFT, to O(n \log n), where is the data size. The difference in speed can be enormous, especially for long data sets where may be in the thousands or millions. As the FFT is merely an algebraic refactoring of terms within the DF ...

Sophie Germain Prime
In number theory, a prime number ''p'' is a if 2''p'' + 1 is also prime. The number 2''p'' + 1 associated with a Sophie Germain prime is called a . For example, 11 is a Sophie Germain prime and 2 × 11 + 1 = 23 is its associated safe prime. Sophie Germain primes and safe primes have applications in public key cryptography and primality testing. It has been conjectured that there are infinitely many Sophie Germain primes, but this remains unproven. Sophie Germain primes are named after French mathematician Sophie Germain, who used them in her investigations of Fermat's Last Theorem. One attempt by Germain to prove Fermat’s Last Theorem was to let ''p'' be a prime number of the form 8''k'' + 7 and to let ''n'' = ''p'' – 1. In this case, x^n + y^n = z^n is unsolvable. Germain’s proof, however, remained unfinished. Through her attempts to solve Fermat's Last Theorem, Germain developed a result now known as Germain's Theore ...

Power Of Two
A power of two is a number of the form where is an integer, that is, the result of exponentiation with number 2, two as the Base (exponentiation), base and integer as the exponent. In the fast-growing hierarchy, is exactly equal to f_1^n(1). In the Hardy hierarchy, is exactly equal to H_(1). Powers of two with Sign (mathematics)#Terminology for signs, non-negative exponents are integers: , , and is two multiplication, multiplied by itself times. The first ten powers of 2 for non-negative values of are: :1, 2, 4, 8, 16 (number), 16, 32 (number), 32, 64 (number), 64, 128 (number), 128, 256 (number), 256, 512 (number), 512, ... By comparison, powers of two with negative exponents are fractions: for positive integer , is one half multiplied by itself times. Thus the first few negative powers of 2 are , , , , etc. Sometimes these are called ''inverse powers of two'' because each is the multiplicative inverse of a positive power of two.

Convolution Theorem
In mathematics, the convolution theorem states that under suitable conditions the Fourier transform of a convolution of two functions (or signals) is the product of their Fourier transforms. More generally, convolution in one domain (e.g., time domain) equals point-wise multiplication in the other domain (e.g., frequency domain). Other versions of the convolution theorem are applicable to various Fourier-related transforms. Functions of a continuous variable Consider two functions u(x) and v(x) with Fourier transforms U and V: :\begin U(f) &\triangleq \mathcal\(f) = \int_^u(x) e^ \, dx, \quad f \in \mathbb\\ V(f) &\triangleq \mathcal\(f) = \int_^v(x) e^ \, dx, \quad f \in \mathbb \end where \mathcal denotes the Fourier transform operator. The transform may be normalized in other ways, in which case constant scaling factors (typically 2\pi or \sqrt) will appear in the convolution theorem below. The convolution of u and v is defined by: :r(x) = \(x) \triangleq \int_^ u(\tau) ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Euler's Identity
In mathematics, Euler's identity (also known as Euler's equation) is the Equality (mathematics), equality e^ + 1 = 0 where :e is E (mathematical constant), Euler's number, the base of natural logarithms, :i is the imaginary unit, which by definition satisfies i^2 = -1, and :\pi is pi, the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Euler's identity is named after the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler. It is a special case of Euler's formula e^ = \cos x + i\sin x when evaluated for x = \pi. Euler's identity is considered an exemplar of mathematical beauty, as it shows a profound connection between the most fundamental numbers in mathematics. In addition, it is directly used in Lindemann–Weierstrass theorem#Transcendence of e and π, a proof that is Transcendental number, transcendental, which implies the impossibility of squaring the circle. Mathematical beauty Euler's identity is often cited as an example of deep mathematical beauty. Three of the basic arithmetic o ...

Modular Multiplicative Inverse
In mathematics, particularly in the area of arithmetic, a modular multiplicative inverse of an integer is an integer such that the product is congruent to 1 with respect to the modulus .. In the standard notation of modular arithmetic this congruence is written as :ax \equiv 1 \pmod, which is the shorthand way of writing the statement that divides (evenly) the quantity , or, put another way, the remainder after dividing by the integer is 1. If does have an inverse modulo , then there is an infinite number of solutions of this congruence, which form a congruence class with respect to this modulus. Furthermore, any integer that is congruent to (i.e., in 's congruence class) has any element of 's congruence class as a modular multiplicative inverse. Using the notation of \overline to indicate the congruence class containing , this can be expressed by saying that the ''modulo multiplicative inverse'' of the congruence class \overline is the congruence class \overline such that: ...

Bijection
In mathematics, a bijection, bijective function, or one-to-one correspondence is a function between two sets such that each element of the second set (the codomain) is the image of exactly one element of the first set (the domain). Equivalently, a bijection is a relation between two sets such that each element of either set is paired with exactly one element of the other set. A function is bijective if it is invertible; that is, a function f:X\to Y is bijective if and only if there is a function g:Y\to X, the ''inverse'' of , such that each of the two ways for composing the two functions produces an identity function: g(f(x)) = x for each x in X and f(g(y)) = y for each y in Y. For example, the ''multiplication by two'' defines a bijection from the integers to the even numbers, which has the ''division by two'' as its inverse function. A function is bijective if and only if it is both injective (or ''one-to-one'')—meaning that each element in the codomain is mappe ...

Primitive Root Modulo N
In modular arithmetic, a number is a primitive root modulo if every number coprime to is congruent to a power of modulo . That is, is a ''primitive root modulo'' if for every integer coprime to , there is some integer for which ≡ (mod ). Such a value is called the index or discrete logarithm of to the base modulo . So is a ''primitive root modulo'' if and only if is a generator of the multiplicative group of integers modulo . Gauss defined primitive roots in Article 57 of the '' Disquisitiones Arithmeticae'' (1801), where he credited Euler with coining the term. In Article 56 he stated that Lambert and Euler knew of them, but he was the first to rigorously demonstrate that primitive roots exist for a prime . In fact, the ''Disquisitiones'' contains two proofs: The one in Article 54 is a nonconstructive existence proof, while the proof in Article 55 is constructive. A primitive root exists if and only if ''n'' is 1, 2, 4, ''p''''k'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Generating Set Of A Group
In abstract algebra, a generating set of a group is a subset of the group set such that every element of the group (mathematics), group can be expressed as a combination (under the group operation) of finitely many elements of the subset and their Inverse element, inverses. In other words, if S is a subset of a group G, then \langle S\rangle, the ''subgroup generated by S'', is the smallest subgroup of G containing every element of S, which is equal to the intersection over all subgroups containing the elements of S; equivalently, \langle S\rangle is the subgroup of all elements of G that can be expressed as the finite product of elements in S and their inverses. (Note that inverses are only needed if the group is infinite; in a finite group, the inverse of an element can be expressed as a power of that element.) If G=\langle S\rangle, then we say that S ''generates'' G, and the elements in S are called ''generators'' or ''group generators''. If S is the empty set, then \langle S ...

Number Theory
Number theory is a branch of pure mathematics devoted primarily to the study of the integers and arithmetic functions. Number theorists study prime numbers as well as the properties of mathematical objects constructed from integers (for example, rational numbers), or defined as generalizations of the integers (for example, algebraic integers). Integers can be considered either in themselves or as solutions to equations (Diophantine geometry). Questions in number theory can often be understood through the study of Complex analysis, analytical objects, such as the Riemann zeta function, that encode properties of the integers, primes or other number-theoretic objects in some fashion (analytic number theory). One may also study real numbers in relation to rational numbers, as for instance how irrational numbers can be approximated by fractions (Diophantine approximation). Number theory is one of the oldest branches of mathematics alongside geometry. One quirk of number theory is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Modular Arithmetic
In mathematics, modular arithmetic is a system of arithmetic operations for integers, other than the usual ones from elementary arithmetic, where numbers "wrap around" when reaching a certain value, called the modulus. The modern approach to modular arithmetic was developed by Carl Friedrich Gauss in his book '' Disquisitiones Arithmeticae'', published in 1801. A familiar example of modular arithmetic is the hour hand on a 12-hour clock. If the hour hand points to 7 now, then 8 hours later it will point to 3. Ordinary addition would result in , but 15 reads as 3 on the clock face. This is because the hour hand makes one rotation every 12 hours and the hour number starts over when the hour hand passes 12. We say that 15 is ''congruent'' to 3 modulo 12, written 15 ≡ 3 (mod 12), so that 7 + 8 ≡ 3 (mod 12). Similarly, if one starts at 12 and waits 8 hours, the hour hand will be at 8. If one instead waited twice as long, 16 hours, the hour hand would be on 4. This ca ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
