Convergence of Remez Exchange

The frequency response is defined for LTI filters as the Fourier transform of the filter output signal divided by the Fourier transform of the filter input signal — Click for https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/filters/Frequency_Response_I.html

A filter in the audio signal processing context is any operation that accepts a signal as an input and produces a signal as an output. Most practical audio filters are linear and time invariant, in which case they can be characterized by their impulse response or their frequency response. — Click for https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/filters/What_Filter.html

Linear programming refers to a class of computational optimization procedures. — Click for http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/otc/Guide/faq/linear-programming-faq.html

Convergence of Remez Exchange

Remez Exchange Algorithm

The Remez multiple exchange algorithm works by moving the frequency samples each iteration to points of maximum error (on a denser grid). Remez iterations could be added to our formulation as well. The Remez multiple exchange algorithm (function firpm [formerly remez] in the Matlab Signal Processing Toolbox, and still remez in Octave) is normally faster than a linear programming formulation, which can be regarded as a single exchange method [224, p. 140]. Another reason for the speed of firpm is that it solves the following equations non-iteratively for the filter exhibiting the desired error alternation over the current set of extremal frequencies:

$\displaystyle \left[ \begin{array}{c} H(\omega_1) \\ H(\omega_2) \\ \vdots \\ H(\omega_{K}) \end{array} \right] = \left[ \begin{array}{cccccc} 1 & 2\cos(\omega_1) & \dots & 2\cos(\omega_1L) & \frac{1}{W(\omega_1)} \\ 1 & 2\cos(\omega_2) & \dots & 2\cos(\omega_2L) & \frac{-1}{W(\omega_2)} \\ \vdots & & & \\ 1 & 2\cos(\omega_{K}) & \dots & 2\cos(\omega_{K}L) & \frac{(-1)^{K}}{W(\omega_{K})} \end{array} \right] \left[ \begin{array}{c} h_0 \\ h_1 \\ \vdots \\ h_{L} \\ \delta \end{array} \right]$

(4.76)

where $W(\omega_k)\delta$ is the weighted ripple amplitude at frequency $\omega_k$ . ( $W(\omega_k)$ is an arbitrary ripple weighting function.) Note that the desired frequency-response amplitude $H(\omega_k)$ is also arbitrary at each frequency sample.
