Eigenvalue and eigenvector decomposition of the discrete Fourier transform

McClellan, J., Parks, T.·1972·IEEE Transactions on Audio and Electroacoustics

Abstract

The principal results of this paper are listed as follows. 1) The eigenvalues of a suitably normalized version of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) are{1, -1,j, -j}. 2) An eigenvector basis is constructed for the DFT. 3) The multiplicities of the eigenvalues are summarized for an N×N transform as follows.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The discrete fractional Fourier transform matrix defined by the spectral expansion is unitary because the eigenvalues of the DFT matrix have unit magnitude.

    “This transform matrix is unitary since the eigenvalues of the DFT matrix have unit magnitude [38], [41].”

    From The discrete fractional Fourier transform (2000) · cites this paper as [41]

  • The DFT matrix has only four distinct eigenvalues, so its eigenvalues are in general degenerate and the eigenvector set is not unique.

    “Since the DFT matrix has only four distinct eigenvalues [41], the eigenvalues are in general degenerate so that the eigenvector set is not unique.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
