Abstract: A versatile method is described for the practical computation of the discrete Fourier transforms (DFT) of a continuous function g(t) given by its values gj at the points of a uniform grid FN generated by conjugacy classes of elements of finite adjoint order N in the fundamental region F of compact semisimple Lie groups. The present implementation of the method is for the groups SU(2), when F is reduced to a one-dimensional segment, and for SU(2)imes...imesSU(2) in multidimensional cases. This simplest case turns out to result in a transform known as discrete cosine transform (DCT), which is often considered to be simply a specific type of the standard DFT. Here we show that the DCT is very different from the standard DFT when the properties of the continuous extensions of these two discrete transforms from the discrete grid points tj;j=0,1,...N to all points tinF are considered. (A) Unlike the continuous extension of the DFT, the continuous extension of (the inverse) DCT, called CEDCT, closely approximates g(t) between the grid points tj. (B) For increasing N, the derivative of CEDCT converges to the derivative of g(t). And (C), for CEDCT the principle of locality is valid. Finally, we use the continuous extension of 2-dimensional DCT to illustrate its potential for interpolation, as well as for the data compression of 2D images.
