Can I reduce the complexity of multiplication with FFT if the input vector is repeating?
A few clarifications may help.
You can implement the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) using a multiplication with Fourier Transform Matrix that's made up of the twiddle factors but this is NOT an FFT. ...

What are the criteria for a change-of-basis transform to be doable in $O(n \log(n))$?
It sounds like you want to design a process that will more or less automatically arrive at the FFT for its functional and computation cost trade-off when that is optimal. And any other related (or not)...

What are the criteria for a change-of-basis transform to be doable in $O(n \log(n))$?
The usual reason you see $O(n \log(n))$ computations is when the $n^2$ direct-approach can be decomposed into two $n/2$ problems, and those can be decomposed into four $n/4$ problems etc.
So the thing ...

What is the frequency representation of nonuniform sampling?
Matlab has the nufft which uses:
For a vector $X$ of length $n$, sample points $t$, and frequencies
$f$, the nonuniform discrete Fourier transform of $X$ is ...

What is the frequency representation of nonuniform sampling?
If the samples are finite (e.g. not a running process) then you'd have to take the greatest common divider and resample all the vector, resulting in a "toothless" train of impulses.
For ...

What is the frequency representation of nonuniform sampling?
For the simplest case of $N$ random samples of $x(t)$ taken over a duration of $T$ and satisfying the average Nyquist rate criterion, then the resulting Fourier transform of the non-uniform samples ...

How to choose between taking the real part or the absolute value of an inverse discrete Fourier transform?
I happened to need solving the same question, so thanks for sharing this (although a while ago).
However I'd like to complement or even somehow correct the accepted answer. There's a big difference ...

Problem with the existence of inverse DTFT
You're absolutely right, the given system doesn't have a frequency response, at least not as a conventional function. There's a pole on the unit circle, so the system is not stable (actually, it is ...

Why Does the DFT Assume the Transformed Signal Is Periodic?
I have a different way of describing this so will add an additional answer. How I interpret any comment that "the DFT assumes the input is periodic" is that the resulting answer in the DFT ...

Validity of taking an inverse $\mathcal{Z}-$ transform instead of taking an inverse DTFT
Let's first clear up a misunderstanding: the inverse DTFT and the inverse $\mathcal{Z}$-transform are equally simple or difficult to compute; the integrals are the same. If you use the contour $|z|=1$ ...

Axes of Discrete Fourier Transform
Actually there are more than two answers for the DFT’s x-axis. I’ve seen spectral plots where an N-point DFT’s positive-frequency axis range is labeled:
• Zero -to- N/2 (Frequency axis value is ...

How does one interpret an element of the "transfer matrix" used to calculate frequency domain granger causality (via VAR models)?
If you take the Fourier Transform of your AR equation, you get
$$\begin{align}
Y(f) &= \sum_{k=1}^p A(k)e^{-j2\pi f k} Y(f) + U(f)\\
\left(I - \sum_{k=1}^p A(k)e^{-j2\pi f k}\right) Y(f) &= U(...

Convolution of squares / boxcars
I'll give this a whirl. Let's define the causal rectangular function $R(t)$ to be
$$ R(t) = \left\{\begin{matrix}
1 & 0 < t < 1 \\
0 & else\\
\end{matrix}\right.$$
Let's find $Y(t) = R(...

Fourier transform of modulus of sum of sines
I have implemented and validated @AndyWalls' result for discrete use:
Not yet performance optimized, and the optimal version is fairly quick, heaviest steps being 1) three $N$-sized FFTs, 2) one $N$-...

Convolution of squares / boxcars
Apply convolution theorem:
$$
|A||B|\ \mathrm{sinc}(A\omega/2) \ \mathrm{sinc}(B\omega/2)
$$
WA gives for $\mathcal{F}^{-1}$, disregarding constants,

Fourier transform of modulus of sum of sines
