In the context of fast Fourier transform algorithms, a butterfly is a portion of the computation that combines the results of smaller discrete Fourier transforms (DFTs) into a larger DFT, or vice versa (breaking a larger DFT up into subtransforms).

What is the butterfly algorithm?
Butterfly optimization algorithm (BOA) is a recently introduced nature inspired meta-heuristics that mimics the natural foraging and mating behavior of butterflies. The framework of BOA is based on the fragrance emitted by the butterflies, which helps other butterflies in searching food as well as mating partner.
What is butterfly unit?
This Butterfly Unit is aimed at children in grades one through four. It contains 118 pages of fun and learning all about butterflies. There are sections that focus on the Monarch and the Painted Lady Butterflies.
Why is FFT needed in DSP?
The FFT algorithm is heavily used in many DSP applications. It is used whenever the signal needs to be processed in the spectral or frequency domain. Because it is so efficient to implement, sometimes even FIR filtering functions are performed using an FFT.
What is the advantage of butterfly structure in FFT?
25) The advantages of the butterfly structure is: Reduces computation complexity. Requires a fewer number of multiplications and additions. Combines the result of small DFTs into larger DFTs.
