Solution and cost analysis of general multi-channel and multi-stage filtering circuits
Open accessAbstract
The fractional Fourier domain multi-channel and multi-stage filtering configurations that have been previously proposed enable us to obtain either exact realizations or useful approximations of linear systems or matrix-vector products in many different applications. We discuss the solution and cost analysis for these configurations. It is shown that the problem can be reduced to a least squares problem which can be solved with fast iterative techniques.

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.
Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-01.
