Conditions for precoding matrix to preserve complex conjugate symmetry on DFT vector
Suppose there is a DFT vector $\mathbf{X}$ with length N, which presents complex conjugate symmetry around its middle point, i.e., $X(1) = X(N-1)^*$, $X(2) = X(N - 2)^*$ and so forth. $X(0)$ and $X(N/...

EWMA based differential that is strictly positive on strictly increasing irregular time series?
Let's say I have a time series $ \{t_i, x_i\} $ where the $x_i$ are strictly increasing and the $t_i$ are not regularly spaced. I can define a differential operator as
$$ \Delta_i = \frac{x_i-x_{i-1}...
