How To Install libnfft3-single2 on Debian 10

Learn how to install libnfft3-single2 on Debian 10 with this tutorial. libnfft3-single2 is library for computing non-uniform Fourier transforms (single precision)

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install libnfft3-single2 on Debian 10.

What is libnfft3-single2

libnfft3-single2 is:

NFFT3 is a software library written in C for computing nonequispaced fast Fourier and related transformations. In detail, NFFT3 implements:

  1. The nonequispaced fast Fourier transform (NFFT)

    • the forward transform (NFFT)
    • the adjoint transform (adjoint NFFT)

  2. Generalisations of the NFFT

    • to arbitrary knots in time and frequency domain (NNFFT)
    • to the sphere S^2 (NFSFT)
    • to the hyperbolic cross (NSFFT)
    • to real-valued data, i.e. (co)sine transforms, (NFCT, NFST)
    • to the rotation group (NFSOFT)

  3. Generalised inverses based on iterative methods, e.g. CGNR, CGNE

  4. Applications in

    • medical imaging (i) magnetic resonance imaging (ii) computerised tomography
    • summation schemes (i) fast Gauss transform (FGT) (ii) singular kernels (iii) zonal kernels
    • polar FFT, discrete Radon transform, ridgelet transform

This package provides the shared library compiled with single precision.
