Fast SGL Fourier transforms for scattered data
Abstract
Spherical Gauss-Laguerre (SGL) basis functions, i. e., normalized functions of the type , , being a generalized Laguerre polynomial, a spherical harmonic, constitute an orthonormal polynomial basis of the space on with radial Gaussian (multivariate Hermite) weight . We have recently described fast Fourier transforms for the SGL basis functions based on an exact quadrature formula with certain grid points in . 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.
