TL;DR: The discrete Hartley transform (DHT) resembles the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) but is free from two characteristics of the DFT that are sometimes computationally undesirable and promises to speed up Fourier-transform calculations.
Abstract: The discrete Hartley transform (DHT) resembles the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) but is free from two characteristics of the DFT that are sometimes computationally undesirable. The inverse DHT is identical with the direct transform, and so it is not necessary to keep track of the +i and −i versions as with the DFT. Also, the DHT has real rather than complex values and thus does not require provision for complex arithmetic or separately managed storage for real and imaginary parts. Nevertheless, the DFT is directly obtainable from the DHT by a simple additive operation. In most image-processing applications the convolution of two data sequences f1 and f2 is given by DHT of [(DHT of f1) × (DHT of f2)], which is a rather simpler algorithm than the DFT permits, especially if images are. to be manipulated in two dimensions. It permits faster computing. Since the speed of the fast Fourier transform depends on the number of multiplications, and since one complex multiplication equals four real multiplications, a fast Hartley transform also promises to speed up Fourier-transform calculations. The name discrete Hartley transform is proposed because the DHT bears the same relation to an integral transform described by Hartley [ HartleyR. V. L., Proc. IRE30, 144 ( 1942)] as the DFT bears to the Fourier transform.

TL;DR: The Fast Hartley Transform (FHT) is as fast as or faster than the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and serves for all the uses such as spectral analysis, digital processing, and convolution to which the FFT is at present applied.
Abstract: A fast algorithm has been worked out for performing the Discrete Hartley Transform (DHT) of a data sequence of N elements in a time proportional to Nlog 2 N. The Fast Hartley Transform (FHT) is as fast as or faster than the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and serves for all the uses such as spectral analysis, digital processing, and convolution to which the FFT is at present applied. A new timing diagram (stripe diagram) is presented to illustrate the overall dependence of running time on the subroutines composing one implementation; this mode of presentation supplements the simple counting of multiplies and adds. One may view the Fast Hartley procedure as a sequence of matrix operations on the data and thus as constituting a new factorization of the DFT matrix operator; this factorization is presented. The FHT computes convolutions and power spectra distinctly faster than the FFT.

TL;DR: A complete set of fast algorithms for computing the discrete Hartley transform is developed, including decimation-in-frequency, radix-4, split radix, prime factor, and Winograd transform algorithms.
Abstract: The discrete Hartley transform (DHT) is a real-valued transform closely related to the DFT of a real-valued sequence. Bracewell has recently demonstrated a radix-2 decimation-in-time fast Hartley transform (FHT) algorithm. In this paper a complete set of fast algorithms for computing the DHT is developed, including decimation-in-frequency, radix-4, split radix, prime factor, and Winograd transform algorithms. The philosophies of all common FFT algorithms are shown to be equally applicable to the computation of the DHT, and the FHT algorithms closely resemble their FFT counterparts. The operation counts for the FHT algorithms are determined and compared to the counts for corresponding real-valued FFT algorithms. The FHT algorithms are shown to always require the same number of multiplications, the same storage, and a few more additions than the real-valued FFT algorithms. Even though computation of the FHT takes more operations, in some situations the inherently real-valued nature of the discrete Hartley transform may justify this extra cost.

TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of the fixed-point accuracy of the power of two, fast Fourier transform algorithm is presented, which leads to approximate upper and lower bounds on the root-mean-square error.
Abstract: This paper contains an analysis of the fixed-point accuracy of the power of two, fast Fourier transform algorithm. This analysis leads to approximate upper and lower bounds on the root-mean-square error. Also included are the results of some accuracy experiments on a simulated fixed-point machine and their comparison with the error upper bound.
