UDFT: Unitary Discrete Fourier Transform (and related)

This module implements unitary discrete Fourier transform, that is orthonormal. This module existed before the introduction of the norm="ortho" keyword and is now a very (very) thin wrapper around Numpy or pyFFTW (maybe others in the future), mainly done for my personal usage. There is also functions related to Fourier and convolution like ir2fr.

It is useful for convolution [1]: they respect the Perceval equality, e.g., the value of the null frequency is equal to 1/√N * ∑ₙ xₙ.

Installation and documentation

UDFT is just the file udft.py and depends on numpy and Python 3.7 only. Documentation is here. I recommend using poetry for installation

   poetry add udft

or

   poetry add udft[fftw]

to install the pyFFTW also (recommended), but the package is available with pip also. For a quick and dirty installation, just copy the udft.py file: it is quite stable, follow the Semantic Versioning, and major changes are unlikely.
