In this section, we consider approximative methods for the fast computation of multivariate discrete Fourier transforms for nonequispaced data (NDFT) in the time domain and in the frequency domain. In particular, we are interested in the approximation error as function of the arithmetic complexity of the algorithm. We discuss the robustness of NDFT-algorithms with respect to roundoff errors and apply NDFT-algorithms for the fast computation of Bessel transforms.
