Abstract:
This paper presents both worst case and average case analysis of roundoff errors occuring in the floating point computation of fast Fourier transform (FFT) with precomputed twiddle factors and shows the strong influence of precomputation errors on the numerical stability of FFT. Numerical tests confirm the theoretical results.This revised version was published online in October 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.
