The radix-2 method is just one special case of the general method of Cooley and Tukey. In the radix-2 case, we divide an input of length \(N\) into 2 inputs of length \(N/2\). More generally, if \(N\) is divisible by some integer \(p\), we can divide into \(p\) inputs of length \(N/p\). The basic principle behind this more general “mixed ...
