Grids and transforms for band-limited functions in a disk

We develop fast discrete Fourier transforms (and their adjoints) from a square in space to a disk in the Fourier domain. Since our new transforms are not unitary, we develop a fast inversion algorithm and derive corresponding estimates that allow us to avoid iterative methods typically used for inversion. We consider the eigenfunctions of the corresponding band-limiting and space-limiting operator to describe spaces on which these new transforms can be inverted and made useful. In the process, we construct polar grids which provide quadratures and interpolation with controlled accuracy for functions band-limited within a disk. For rapid computation of the involved trigonometric sums we use the unequally spaced fast Fourier transform, thus yielding fast algorithms for all new transforms. We also introduce polar grids motivated by linearized scattering problems which are obtained by discretizing a family of circles. These circles are generated by using a single circle passing through the origin and rotating this circle with the origin as a pivot. For such grids, we provide a fast algorithm for interpolation to a near optimal grid in the disk, yielding an accurate adjoint transform and inversion algorithm.
