Abstract
A finite representation of the continuous Fourier transform is obtained in a linear space of dimensionN for the Hermite functions by using some properties of the Hermite polynomialsHN(x) and its zeros. TheN-dimensional vectors representing a Hermite function and its Fourier-trnasformed function converge to their exact continuous values whenN→∞. The genericN×N matrix representing the kernel of the continuous transform exp [−ipx], preserves the conspicuous properties of this function, and their entries approach the values that this kernel takes atp=xj andx=xk, wherexj andxk are two zeros ofHN(x) whenN→∞. These properties lead to propose this kind of matrices as finite representations of the kernel of the continuous Fourier transform for functions other than the Hermite ones, yielding certain quadrature formula for this transform. Some numerical examples of this application are shown and they are compared with those obtained through standard procedures.

A New Formulation of the Fast Fractional Fourier Transform

TL;DR: This work derives a Gaussian-like quadrature of the continuous fractional Fourier transform from a bilinear form of eigenvectors of the matrix associated to the recurrence equation of the Hermite polynomials, which becomes a more accurate version of the FFT and can be used for nonperiodic functions.
