Abstract
The principal results of this paper are listed as follows. 1) The eigenvalues of a suitably normalized version of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) are {1, -1,j, -j} . 2) An eigenvector basis is constructed for the DFT. 3) The multiplicities of the eigenvalues are summarized for an N×N transform as follows.

The discrete harmonic oscillator, Harper's equation, and the discrete fractional Fourier transform

TL;DR: In this article, the authors define a discrete fractional Fourier transform (FT) which is essentially the time-evolution operator of the discrete harmonic oscillator, and define its energy eigenfunctions as a discrete algebraic analogue of the Hermite-Gaussian functions.

Discrete Fractional Fourier Transform Based on New Nearly Tridiagonal Commuting Matrices

TL;DR: A new nearly tridiagonal matrix is proposed, which commutes with the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) matrix and is shown to be DFT eigenvectors, which are more similar to the continuous Hermite-Gaussian functions than those developed before.

On the multiangle centered discrete fractional Fourier transform

TL;DR: This letter defines a DFRFT based on a centered version of the DFT (CDFRFT) using eigenvectors derived from the Gru/spl uml/nbaum tridiagonal commutor that serve as excellent discrete approximations to the Hermite-Gauss functions.
