Abstract

It is well known, that the classical algorithm of the Walsh-Hadamard fast transform needs only n log2 n additions moreover n is a power of two. A problem of decomposition of Hadamard matrices of arbitrary order n, n - 0(mod4) by orthogonal (-1, +1)-vectors of size k is investigated in this paper. An algorithm of the Hadamard fast transform which needs only \(nlog_2 k + n(\tfrac{n}{k} - 1)\) addition operations and in some cases is more efficient than the classical algorithm is proposed.
