The Cooley–Tukey algorithm , named after J. W. Cooley and John Tukey , is the most common fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm. It re-expresses the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) of an arbitrary composite size N = N 1 N 2 {\displaystyle N=N_{1}N_{2}} in terms of N 1 smaller DFTs of sizes N 2 , recursively , to reduce the computation time to O( N log N ) for highly composite N ( smooth numbers ). Because of the algorithm's importance, specific variants and implementation styles have become known by their own names, as described below.
87-550: Because the Cooley–Tukey algorithm breaks the DFT into smaller DFTs, it can be combined arbitrarily with any other algorithm for the DFT. For example, Rader's or Bluestein's algorithm can be used to handle large prime factors that cannot be decomposed by Cooley–Tukey, or the prime-factor algorithm can be exploited for greater efficiency in separating out relatively prime factors. The algorithm, along with its recursive application,
174-405: A circular definition or self-reference , in which the putative recursive step does not get closer to a base case, but instead leads to an infinite regress . It is not unusual for such books to include a joke entry in their glossary along the lines of: A variation is found on page 269 in the index of some editions of Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie 's book The C Programming Language ;
261-452: A group under multiplication modulo N . One consequence of the number theory of such groups is that there exists a generator of the group (sometimes called a primitive root , which can be found by exhaustive search or slightly better algorithms ). This generator is an integer g such that n = g q ( mod N ) {\displaystyle n=g^{q}{\pmod {N}}} for any non-zero index n and for
348-431: A is an element of X . It can be proved by mathematical induction that F ( n ) = G ( n ) for all natural numbers n : By induction, F ( n ) = G ( n ) for all n ∈ N {\displaystyle n\in \mathbb {N} } . A common method of simplification is to divide a problem into subproblems of the same type. As a computer programming technique, this is called divide and conquer and
435-479: A collection of polygons labelled by finitely many labels, and then each polygon is subdivided into smaller labelled polygons in a way that depends only on the labels of the original polygon. This process can be iterated. The standard `middle thirds' technique for creating the Cantor set is a subdivision rule, as is barycentric subdivision . A function may be recursively defined in terms of itself. A familiar example

The word and , for example, can be construed as a function that can apply to sentence meanings to create new sentences, and likewise for noun phrase meanings, verb phrase meanings, and others. It can also apply to intransitive verbs, transitive verbs, or ditransitive verbs. In order to provide a single denotation for it that
609-567: A non-recursive definition (e.g., a closed-form expression ). Use of recursion in an algorithm has both advantages and disadvantages. The main advantage is usually the simplicity of instructions. The main disadvantage is that the memory usage of recursive algorithms may grow very quickly, rendering them impractical for larger instances. Shapes that seem to have been created by recursive processes sometimes appear in plants and animals, such as in branching structures in which one large part branches out into two or more similar smaller parts. One example

For example, the formal definition of the natural numbers by the Peano axioms can be described as: "Zero is a natural number, and each natural number has a successor, which is also a natural number." By this base case and recursive rule, one can generate
783-405: A procedure is thus defined, this immediately creates the possibility of an endless loop; recursion can only be properly used in a definition if the step in question is skipped in certain cases so that the procedure can complete. Even if it is properly defined, a recursive procedure is not easy for humans to perform, as it requires distinguishing the new from the old, partially executed invocation of
870-462: A running time of 0.02 minutes for a size-2048 complex DFT on an IBM 7094 (probably in 36-bit single precision , ~8 digits). Rescaling the time by the number of operations, this corresponds roughly to a speedup factor of around 800,000. (To put the time for the hand calculation in perspective, 140 minutes for size 64 corresponds to an average of at most 16 seconds per floating-point operation, around 20% of which are multiplications.) In pseudocode ,
957-644: A sentence can be defined recursively (very roughly) as something with a structure that includes a noun phrase, a verb, and optionally another sentence. This is really just a special case of the mathematical definition of recursion. This provides a way of understanding the creativity of language—the unbounded number of grammatical sentences—because it immediately predicts that sentences can be of arbitrary length: Dorothy thinks that Toto suspects that Tin Man said that... . There are many structures apart from sentences that can be defined recursively, and therefore many ways in which

#17327877842331044-614: A sentence can embed instances of one category inside another. Over the years, languages in general have proved amenable to this kind of analysis. The generally accepted idea that recursion is an essential property of human language has been challenged by Daniel Everett on the basis of his claims about the Pirahã language . Andrew Nevins, David Pesetsky and Cilene Rodrigues are among many who have argued against this. Literary self-reference can in any case be argued to be different in kind from mathematical or logical recursion. Recursion plays
1131-621: A separate bit-reversal stage only arises for certain in-place algorithms, as described below.) High-performance FFT implementations make many modifications to the implementation of such an algorithm compared to this simple pseudocode. For example, one can use a larger base case than N =1 to amortize the overhead of recursion, the twiddle factors exp [ − 2 π i k / N ] {\displaystyle \exp[-2\pi ik/N]} can be precomputed, and larger radices are often used for cache reasons; these and other optimizations together can improve
1218-438: A sequence of them is called a Cunningham chain of the first kind. The lengths of Cunningham chains, however, are observed to grow more slowly than log 2 ( N ), so Rader's algorithm applied in this way is probably not O ( N ), though it is possibly worse than O( N log N ) for the worst cases. Fortunately, a guarantee of O( N log N ) complexity can be achieved by zero padding. Recursion Recursion occurs when

However, the two output values should go in the first and second halves of the output array, corresponding to the most significant bit b 4 (for N =32); whereas the two inputs E k {\displaystyle E_{k}} and O k {\displaystyle O_{k}} are interleaved in the even and odd elements, corresponding to

If N 1 is the radix, it is called a decimation in time (DIT) algorithm, whereas if N 2 is the radix, it is decimation in frequency (DIF, also called the Sande–Tukey algorithm). The version presented above was a radix-2 DIT algorithm; in the final expression, the phase multiplying

The key result in dynamic programming is the Bellman equation , which writes the value of the optimization problem at an earlier time (or earlier step) in terms of its value at a later time (or later step).

Another way of looking at the Cooley–Tukey algorithm is that it re-expresses a size N one-dimensional DFT as an N 1 by N 2 two-dimensional DFT (plus twiddles), where
2262-550: Is greatly simplified if it is out-of-place : the output array is distinct from the input array or, equivalently, an equal-size auxiliary array is available. The Stockham auto-sort algorithm performs every stage of the FFT out-of-place, typically writing back and forth between two arrays, transposing one "digit" of the indices with each stage, and has been especially popular on SIMD architectures. Even greater potential SIMD advantages (more consecutive accesses) have been proposed for
2349-413: Is key to the design of many important algorithms. Divide and conquer serves as a top-down approach to problem solving, where problems are solved by solving smaller and smaller instances. A contrary approach is dynamic programming . This approach serves as a bottom-up approach, where problems are solved by solving larger and larger instances, until the desired size is reached.

In mathematics and computer science, a class of objects or methods exhibits recursive behavior when it can be defined by two properties: For example, the following is a recursive definition of
2610-442: Is said to be 'recursive'. To understand recursion, one must recognize the distinction between a procedure and the running of a procedure. A procedure is a set of steps based on a set of rules, while the running of a procedure involves actually following the rules and performing the steps. Recursion is related to, but not the same as, a reference within the specification of a procedure to the execution of some other procedure. When

2784-504: Is suitably flexible, and is typically defined so that it can take any of these different types of meanings as arguments. This can be done by defining it for a simple case in which it combines sentences, and then defining the other cases recursively in terms of the simple one. A recursive grammar is a formal grammar that contains recursive production rules . Recursion is sometimes used humorously in computer science, programming, philosophy, or mathematics textbooks, generally by giving
2871-574: Is the Fibonacci number sequence: F ( n ) = F ( n − 1) + F ( n − 2). For such a definition to be useful, it must be reducible to non-recursively defined values: in this case F (0) = 0 and F (1) = 1. Applying the standard technique of proof by cases to recursively defined sets or functions, as in the preceding sections, yields structural induction — a powerful generalization of mathematical induction widely used to derive proofs in mathematical logic and computer science.

A radix-2 decimation-in-time ( DIT ) FFT is the simplest and most common form of the Cooley–Tukey algorithm, although highly optimized Cooley–Tukey implementations typically use other forms of the algorithm as described below. Radix-2 DIT divides a DFT of size N into two interleaved DFTs (hence the name "radix-2") of size N /2 with each recursive stage. The discrete Fourier transform (DFT)

Moreover, it is desirable on many hardware architectures to re-order intermediate stages of the FFT algorithm so that they operate on consecutive (or at least more localized) data elements.

Still, this algorithm requires intrinsically more operations than FFTs of nearby composite sizes, and typically takes 3–10 times as long in practice. If Rader's algorithm is performed by using FFTs of size N –1 to compute the convolution, rather than by zero padding as mentioned above, the efficiency depends strongly upon N and
6438-482: The performance by an order of magnitude or more. (In many textbook implementations the depth-first recursion is eliminated in favor of a nonrecursive breadth-first approach, although depth-first recursion has been argued to have better memory locality .) Several of these ideas are described in further detail below. More generally, Cooley–Tukey algorithms recursively re-express a DFT of a composite size N = N 1 N 2 as: Typically, either N 1 or N 2
6525-516: The potential of the method and put Tukey in touch with Cooley. However, Garwin made sure that Cooley did not know the original purpose. Instead, Cooley was told that this was needed to determine periodicities of the spin orientations in a 3-D crystal of helium-3 . Cooley and Tukey subsequently published their joint paper, and wide adoption quickly followed due to the simultaneous development of Analog-to-digital converters capable of sampling at rates up to 300 kHz. The fact that Gauss had described
6612-508: The problem is then devised by combining the solutions obtained from the simpler versions of the problem. One example application of recursion is in parsers for programming languages. The great advantage of recursion is that an infinite set of possible sentences, designs or other data can be defined, parsed or produced by a finite computer program. Recurrence relations are equations which define one or more sequences recursively. Some specific kinds of recurrence relation can be "solved" to obtain
6699-466: The problem of unique definition of set-theoretical functions on N {\displaystyle \mathbb {N} } by recursion, and gave a sketch of an argument in the 1888 essay "Was sind und was sollen die Zahlen?" Take two functions F : N → X {\displaystyle F:\mathbb {N} \to X} and G : N → X {\displaystyle G:\mathbb {N} \to X} such that: where
6786-448: The procedure; this requires some administration as to how far various simultaneous instances of the procedures have progressed. For this reason, recursive definitions are very rare in everyday situations. Linguist Noam Chomsky , among many others, has argued that the lack of an upper bound on the number of grammatical sentences in a language, and the lack of an upper bound on grammatical sentence length (beyond practical constraints such as
6873-450: The radix butterflies to reduce the number of passes over the data. Rader%27s FFT algorithm Rader's algorithm (1968), named for Charles M. Rader of MIT Lincoln Laboratory , is a fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm that computes the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) of prime sizes by re-expressing the DFT as a cyclic convolution (the other algorithm for FFTs of prime sizes, Bluestein's algorithm , also works by rewriting
6960-409: The radix butterfly required O( r ) work and hence reckoned the complexity for a radix r to be O( r N / r log r N ) = O( N log 2 ( N ) r /log 2 r ); from calculation of values of r /log 2 r for integer values of r from 2 to 12 the optimal radix is found to be 3 (the closest integer to e , which minimizes r /log 2 r ). This analysis was erroneous, however:
7047-628: The radix-butterfly is also a DFT and can be performed via an FFT algorithm in O( r log r ) operations, hence the radix r actually cancels in the complexity O( r log( r ) N / r log r N ), and the optimal r is determined by more complicated considerations. In practice, quite large r (32 or 64) are important in order to effectively exploit e.g. the large number of processor registers on modern processors, and even an unbounded radix r = √ N also achieves O( N log N ) complexity and has theoretical and practical advantages for large N as mentioned above. Although
7134-433: The recursive application of Rader's algorithm. This algorithm, then, requires O( N ) additions plus O( N log N ) time for the convolution. In practice, the O( N ) additions can often be performed by absorbing the additions into the convolution: if the convolution is performed by a pair of FFTs, then the sum of x n is given by the DC (0th) output of the FFT of a q plus x 0 , and x 0 can be added to all
7221-501: The same algorithm (albeit without analyzing its asymptotic cost) was not realized until several years after Cooley and Tukey's 1965 paper. Their paper cited as inspiration only the work by I. J. Good on what is now called the prime-factor FFT algorithm (PFA); although Good's algorithm was initially thought to be equivalent to the Cooley–Tukey algorithm, it was quickly realized that PFA is a quite different algorithm (working only for sizes that have relatively prime factors and relying on
7308-460: The set of all natural numbers. Other recursively defined mathematical objects include factorials , functions (e.g., recurrence relations ), sets (e.g., Cantor ternary set ), and fractals . There are various more tongue-in-cheek definitions of recursion; see recursive humor . Recursion is the process a procedure goes through when one of the steps of the procedure involves invoking the procedure itself. A procedure that goes through recursion
7395-409: The time available to utter one), can be explained as the consequence of recursion in natural language. This can be understood in terms of a recursive definition of a syntactic category, such as a sentence. A sentence can have a structure in which what follows the verb is another sentence: Dorothy thinks witches are dangerous , in which the sentence witches are dangerous occurs in the larger one. So
7482-483: Was invented by Carl Friedrich Gauss . Cooley and Tukey independently rediscovered and popularized it 160 years later. This algorithm, including its recursive application, was invented around 1805 by Carl Friedrich Gauss , who used it to interpolate the trajectories of the asteroids Pallas and Juno , but his work was not widely recognized (being published only posthumously and in Neo-Latin ). Gauss did not analyze
7569-417: Was later shown to be an optimal cache-oblivious algorithm . The general Cooley–Tukey factorization rewrites the indices k and n as k = N 2 k 1 + k 2 {\displaystyle k=N_{2}k_{1}+k_{2}} and n = N 1 n 2 + n 1 {\displaystyle n=N_{1}n_{2}+n_{1}} , respectively, where
