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.

A New Position-Based Fast Radix-2 Algorithm for Computing the DHT

TL;DR: A new position-based fast radix-2 decimation-in-time algorithm that requires less number of multiplications than that of Sorenson is proposed, which exploits the characteristics of the DHT matrix and introduces multiplying structures in the signal flow-diagram (SFD).

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.

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.
