Abstract

A new fast radix-p-algorithm (p ≧ 2) for the discrete cosine transform (DCT) and its inverse is presented. It is based on the divide-and-conquer method and on the arithmetic with Chebyshev polynomials. The algorithm can be applied for the efficient calculation of DCT's of arbitrary transform lengths and for the implementation of other discrete Vandermonde transforms withO(N logN) arithmetical operations.
