Abstract
SIAM Review, Volume 68, Issue 1, Page 93-123, February 2026. Abstract. In order to compute the Fourier transform of a function [math] on the real line numerically, one samples [math] on a grid and then takes the discrete Fourier transform. We derive exact error estimates for this procedure in terms of the decay and smoothness of [math]. The analysis provides an asymptotically optimal recipe for how to relate the number of samples, the sampling interval, and the grid size.
期刊介绍:
Survey and Review feature papers that provide an integrative and current viewpoint on important topics in applied or computational mathematics and scientific computing. These papers aim to offer a comprehensive perspective on the subject matter.
Research Spotlights publish concise research papers in applied and computational mathematics that are of interest to a wide range of readers in SIAM Review. The papers in this section present innovative ideas that are clearly explained and motivated. They stand out from regular publications in specific SIAM journals due to their accessibility and potential for widespread and long-lasting influence.
