In this paper we present a product system and give a representation for cos
ine functions with the system. Based on the formula, two new algorithms are
designed for computing the discrete cosine transform. Both algorithms have
a regular recursive structure and good numerical stability and are easy to
be implemented on parallel computers. Furthermore, this paper also provide
s a frame to design fast algorithms for discrete transforms. (C) 2001 Elsev
