Prosekov [Title] On the fast Fourier transform of small orders [AMS Subj-class] 65T50 Discrete and fast Fourier transforms 15A23 Factorization of matrices [Abstract] In order to minimize the number of additions when computing the discrete Fourier transform, it is proposed to carry out a factorization of the matrices of pre-summations and post-summations, where each factor contains no more than two nonzero entries in each row. Such a factorization is not unique, and this allows us to impose additional conditions. This paper presents the "perfect" factorizations of the discrete Fourier transform matrices of order 3, 4, 5, and 6. [Comments] LaTeX, 10 pp., Russian [Contact e-mail] malv@gamma.math.spbu.ru
