Analysis of average value of a Fourier series using z-transform: comparison with Hodrick-Prescott filter

Minskya, Ksovim (2016): Analysis of average value of a Fourier series using z-transform: comparison with Hodrick-Prescott filter.

Abstract

This paper develops a method of analyzing average value of a complex-valued function that can be represented as a Fourier series satisfying a few realistic restrictions. This method may be useful when Discrete Fourier transform is highly inefficient, and comparison with Hodrick-Prescott filter is made.
