An FFT method for the numerical differentiation

We consider the numerical differentiation of a function tabulated at equidistant points. The proposed method is based on the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and the singular value expansion of a proper Volterra integral operator that reformulates the derivative operator. We provide the convergence analysis of the proposed method and the results of a numerical experiment conducted for comparing the proposed method performance with that of the Neville Algorithm implemented in the NAG library.
