Fast SGL Fourier transforms for scattered data
read the original abstract
Spherical Gauss-Laguerre (SGL) basis functions, i. e., normalized functions of the type $L_{n-l-1}^{(l + 1/2)}(r^2) r^l Y_{lm}(\vartheta,\varphi)$, $|m| \leq l < n \in \mathbb{N}$, $L_{n-l-1}^{(l + 1/2)}$ being a generalized Laguerre polynomial, $Y_{lm}$ a spherical harmonic, constitute an orthonormal polynomial basis of the space $L^2$ on $\mathbb{R}^3$ with radial Gaussian (multivariate Hermite) weight $\exp(-r^2)$. We have recently described fast Fourier transforms for the SGL basis functions based on an exact quadrature formula with certain grid points in $\mathbb{R}^3$. In this paper, we present fast SGL Fourier transforms for scattered data. The idea is to employ well-known basal fast algorithms to determine a three-dimensional trigonometric polynomial that coincides with the bandlimited function of interest where the latter is to be evaluated. This trigonometric polynomial can then be evaluated efficiently using the well-known non-equispaced FFT (NFFT). We proof an error estimate for our algorithms and validate their practical suitability in extensive numerical experiments.
