Abstract

Recently, Candan introduced higher order DFT-commuting matrices whose eigenvectors are better approximations to the continuous Hermite-Gaussian functions (HGFs). However, the highest order 2k of the O(h2k) N × N DFT-commuting matrices proposed by Candan is restricted by 2k + 1 ≤ N. In this paper, we remove this order upper bound restriction by developing two methods to construct arbitrary-order DFT-commuting matrices. Computer experimental results show that the Hermite-Gaussian-like (HGL) eigenvectors of the new proposed DFT -commuting matrices outperform those of Candan. In addition, the HGL eigenvectors of the mfinite-order DFT -commuting matrix are shown to be the same as those of the n2 DFT -commuting matrix recently discovered in the literature.
