  • Abstract
    The dynamic Allan variance (DAVAR) is a tool that allows to understand if the stability of an atomic clock is changing with time. Since an anomaly in the clock behavior generates a change in its stability, the DAVAR can be used to monitor the performances of a clock. In this paper we present a fast algorithm for the computation of the DAVAR, which outperforms the classical computational method.
