This is a simple f2py-wrapper for the logarithmic FFT code FFTLog as presented in Appendix B of [Hami00] and published at casa.colorado.edu/~ajsh/FFTLog.
A pure python version (pyfftlog) can be found on github.com/prisae/pyfftlog. Tests have shown that fftlog is a bit faster than pyfftlog, but pyfftlog is easier to implement, as you only need NumPy and SciPy, without the need to compile anything.
I hope that FFTLog will make it into SciPy in the future, which will make this project redundant. (If you have the bandwidth and are willing to chip in have a look at SciPy PR #7310.)
Be aware that pyfftlog has not been tested extensively. It works fine for the test from the original code, and my use case, which is pyfftlog.fftl with mu=0.5 (sine-transform), q=0 (unbiased), k=1, kropt=1, and tdir=1 (forward). Please let me know if you encounter any issues.

Note that the documentation is for the pure python version pyfftlog, but equally applies to fftlog.
FFTLog is a set of fortran subroutines that compute the fast Fourier or Hankel (= Fourier-Bessel) transform of a periodic sequence of logarithmically spaced points.
FFTLog can be regarded as a natural analogue to the standard Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), in the sense that, just as the normal FFT gives the exact (to machine precision) Fourier transform of a linearly spaced periodic sequence, so also FFTLog gives the exact Fourier or Hankel transform, of arbitrary order m, of a logarithmically spaced periodic sequence.
FFTLog shares with the normal FFT the problems of ringing (response to sudden steps) and aliasing (periodic folding of frequencies), but under appropriate circumstances FFTLog may approximate the results of a continuous Fourier or Hankel transform.
The FFTLog algorithm was originally proposed by [Talm78].
For the full documentation, see casa.colorado.edu/~ajsh/FFTLog.
You can install fftlog either via conda:
conda install -c conda-forge fftlogor via pip:
pip install fftlogThe power of f2py did most of the work.
The src-directory contains the original fortran files as downloaded from casa.colorado.edu/~ajsh/FFTLog. The only change I made was to recode the coding of fftlog.f, as f2py struggled with a few characters in the description part:
recode latin1..UTF-8 fftlog.fThereafter I used f2py to produce the pyf-instructions with the following command, generating only hooks for the functions fhti, fttl, fht, and fhtq:
f2py src/* -m fftlog -h fftlog.pyf only: fhti fftl fht fhtq :Lastly I amended the pyf-instructions, mainly with some intent and optional statements as well as the corresponding default values.
- kropt=3 (interactive adjusting) is not possible with fftlog
- wsave-dimension is set to 2*n+3*(n/2)+19, the biggest of the four minimum sizes described in fftlog.f.
