Here's a variation on roots of unity: rou=: [: (* * |)&.+. [: ^ 0j2p1 * % * i.
Except, it's not compatible with the version in http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Essays/FFT For reasons I do not understand the essay version only gives 4 roots when I ask for 8. For compatibility purposes I could divide the argument by 2, but I do not know why I should be doing that (and I have not bothered to look close enough to understand the consequences of this change). -- Raul On Sat, Jul 14, 2012 at 6:52 AM, Bo Jacoby <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I comment on http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Essays/FFT.
