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.

Hartley Spectral Pooling for Deep Learning

TL;DR: The proposed spectral pooling avoids the use of complex arithmetic for frequency representation and reduces the computation, and preserves more structure features for network's discriminability than max and average pooling.

New high-speed prime-factor algorithm for discrete Hartley transform

TL;DR: The proposed algorithm is more efficient compared to the radix-2 FHT in terms of the computational requirements, as well as the execution time for transform lengths higher than 30 and is faster than the prime-factor FFT algorithm for real-valued series.

Quantization errors in the computation of the discrete Hartley transform

TL;DR: A variety of efficient DHT algorithms including Bracewell's original decimation-in-time radix-2 algorithm are summarized and statistical models for fixed- and floating-point arithmetic roundoff errors are used as the basis for a theoretical study of roundoff noise characteristics of several discrete Hartley transform algorithms.

Discrete Hartley transform

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.

A More Symmetrical Fourier Analysis Applied to Transmission Problems

TL;DR: In this article, the Fourier identity is expressed in a more symmetrical form which leads to certain analogies between the function of the original variable and its transform, and it permits a function of time to be analyzed into two independent sets of sinusoidal components, one of which is represented in terms of positive frequencies, and the other of negative.
