The discrete fractional cosine and sine transforms

This paper is concerned with the definitions of the discrete fractional cosine transform (DFRCT) and the discrete fractional sine transform (DFRST). The definitions of DFRCT and DFRST are based on the eigen decomposition of DCT and DST kernels. This is the same idea as that of the discrete fractional Fourier transform (DFRFT); the eigenvalue and eigenvector relationships between the DFRCT, DFRST, and DFRFT can be established. The computations of DFRFT for even or odd signals can be planted into the half-size DFRCT and DFRST calculations. This will reduce the computational load of the DFRFT by about one half
