The circulant matrices and skew-circulant matrices are two special classes of Toeplitz matrices and play vital roles in the computation of Toeplitz matrices. In this paper, we focus on real circulant and skew-circulant matrices. We first investigate their real Schur forms, which are closely related to the family of discrete cosine transform (DCT) and discrete sine transform (DST). Using those real Schur forms, we then develop some fast algorithms for computing real circulant, skew-circulant, and Toeplitz matrix-real vector multiplications. Also...
