The document discusses the Cook-Toom algorithm for fast convolution. It reduces the number of multiplications in a linear convolution from NL to L+N-1 by using Lagrange interpolation. It expresses the convolution as a polynomial multiplication problem and evaluates the polynomials at distinct points, allowing the convolution to be computed using L+N-1 multiplications and additional additions by decomposing the convolution matrix. An example shows applying the algorithm to a 2x2 convolution, reducing multiplications from 4 to 3.
