Abstract
We study the accuracy of the output of the Fast Fourier Transform by estimating the expected value and the variance of the accompanying linear forms in terms of the expected value and variance of the relative roundoff errors for the elementary operations of addition and multiplication. We compare the results with the corresponding ones for the direct algorithm for the Discrete Fourier Transform, and we give indications of the relative performances when different rounding schemes are used. We also present the results of numerical experiments run to test the theoretical bounds and discuss their significance.

Computing Fourier Transforms and Convolutions on the 2-Sphere

TL;DR: Convolution theorems generalizing well known and useful results from the abelian case are used to develop a sampling theorem on the sphere, which reduces the calculation of Fourier transforms and convolutions of band-limited functions to discrete computations.

FFTs for the 2-Sphere-Improvements and Variations

TL;DR: A reformulation and variation of the original algorithm is presented which results in a greatly improved inverse transform, and consequent improved convolution algorithm for such functions, which indicate that variations of the algorithm are both reliable and efficient for a large range of useful problem sizes.

Accuracy of the Discrete Fourier Transform and the Fast Fourier Transform

TL;DR: Fast Fourier transform (FFT)-based computations can be far more accurate than the slow transforms suggest, but these results depend critically on the accuracy of the FFT software employed, which should generally be considered suspect.

Discrete weighted transforms and large-integer arithmetic

TL;DR: The concept of Discrete Weighted Transforms (DWTs) are introduced which substantially improve the speed of multiplication by obviating costly zero-padding of digits.

An algorithm for the machine calculation of complex Fourier series

TL;DR: Good generalized these methods and gave elegant algorithms for which one class of applications is the calculation of Fourier series, applicable to certain problems in which one must multiply an N-vector by an N X N matrix which can be factored into m sparse matrices.
