Abstract: A numerical method for determination of least-square approximations of an arbitrary complex mapping function is derived here and implemented with fast Fourier transforms (FFTs). An essential feature of the method is the factoring of a discrete Hilbert transform in a pair of Fourier transforms in order to reduce the operation count of the longest computation to $O\left ( {N\log N} \right )$. A similar factoring of the discrete Poisson integral formula allows an explicit inversion of it in $O\left ( {N\log N} \right )$ operations instead of $O\left ( {{N^3}} \right )$(N$^{3}$). The resulting scheme for analytic continuation appears to be considerably more reliable than the evaluation of polynomials. Examples are treated, and APL implementations of algorithms are provided.
