Truncated Fourier Transforms (TFTs), first introduced by Van der Hoeven, refer to a family of algorithms that attempt to smooth "jumps" in complexity exhibited by FFT algorithms. We present an in-place TFT whose time complexity, measured in…
Numerical evaluation of the overlap Dirac operator is difficult since it contains the sign function $\epsilon(H_w)$ of the Hermitian Wilson-Dirac operator $H_w$ with a negative mass term. The problems are due to $H_w$ having very small…

Starting from the continuum Dirac operator, I construct a renormalisation group blocking which transforms the continuum action into a lattice action, and I specifically consider the Wilson and overlap formalisms. For Wilson fermions the…
