1 Purpose

nag_sum_fft_qtrsine (c06rgc) computes the discrete quarter-wave Fourier sine transforms of

m

sequences of real data values. The elements of each sequence and its transform are stored contiguously.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>

#include <nagc06.h>

void	nag_sum_fft_qtrsine (Nag_TransformDirection direct, Integer m, Integer n, double x[], NagError *fail)

3 Description

Given

m

sequences of

n

real data values

x_{j}^{p}

, for

j = 1, 2, \dots, n

and

p = 1, 2, \dots, m

, nag_sum_fft_qtrsine (c06rgc) simultaneously calculates the quarter-wave Fourier sine transforms of all the sequences defined by

{\hat{x}}_{k}^{p} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}} (\sum_{j = 1}^{n - 1} x_{j}^{p} \times \sin (j (2 k - 1) \frac{π}{2 n}) + \frac{1}{2} {(- 1)}^{k - 1} x_{n}^{p}),   if ​ direct = Nag_ForwardTransform,

or its inverse

x_{k}^{p} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{n}} \sum_{j = 1}^{n} {\hat{x}}_{j}^{p} \times \sin ((2 j - 1) k \frac{π}{2 n}),   if ​ direct = Nag_BackwardTransform,

where

k = 1, 2, \dots, n

and

p = 1, 2, \dots, m

(Note the scale factor

\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}

in this definition.)

A call of nag_sum_fft_qtrsine (c06rgc) with

direct = Nag_ForwardTransform

followed by a call with

direct = Nag_BackwardTransform

will restore the original data.

The two transforms are also known as type-III DST and type-II DST, respectively.

The transform calculated by this function can be used to solve Poisson's equation when the solution is specified at the left boundary, and the derivative of the solution is specified at the right boundary (see Swarztrauber (1977)).

The function uses a variant of the fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm (see Brigham (1974)) known as the Stockham self-sorting algorithm, described in Temperton (1983), together with pre- and post-processing stages described in Swarztrauber (1982). Special coding is provided for the factors

5 Arguments

1: $direct$ – Nag_TransformDirectionInput

On entry: indicates the transform, as defined in Section 3, to be computed.

$direct = Nag_ForwardTransform$: Forward transform.
$direct = Nag_BackwardTransform$: Inverse transform.

Constraint:

direct = Nag_ForwardTransform

Nag_BackwardTransform

2: $m$ – IntegerInput

On entry:

m

, the number of sequences to be transformed.

Constraint:

m \geq 1

3: $n$ – IntegerInput

On entry:

n

, the number of real values in each sequence.

Constraint:

n \geq 1

4: $x [n \times m]$ – doubleInput/Output

On entry: the

m

data sequences to be transformed. The

p

th sequence to be transformed, denoted by

x_{j}^{p}

, for

j = 1, 2, \dots, n

and

p = 1, 2, \dots, m

, must be stored in

x [(p - 1) \times n + j - 1]

On exit: the

m

quarter-wave sine transforms, overwriting the corresponding original sequences. The

n

components of the

p

th quarter-wave sine transform, denoted by

{\hat{x}}_{k}^{p}

, for

k = 1, 2, \dots, n

and

p = 1, 2, \dots, m

, are stored in

x [(p - 1) \times n + k - 1]

5: $fail$ – NagError *Input/Output

The NAG error argument (see Section 2.7 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_ALLOC_FAIL: Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 2.3.1.2 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for further information.
NE_BAD_PARAM: On entry, argument $〈value〉$ had an illegal value.
NE_INT: On entry, $m = 〈value〉$ .
Constraint: $m \geq 1$ .

On entry, $n = 〈value〉$ .
Constraint: $n \geq 1$ .
NE_INTERNAL_ERROR: An internal error has occurred in this function. Check the function call and any array sizes. If the call is correct then please contact NAG for assistance.

An unexpected error has been triggered by this function. Please contact NAG.
See Section 2.7.6 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for further information.
NE_NO_LICENCE: Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
See Section 2.7.5 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for further information.

7 Accuracy

Some indication of accuracy can be obtained by performing a subsequent inverse transform and comparing the results with the original sequence (in exact arithmetic they would be identical).

8 Parallelism and Performance

nag_sum_fft_qtrsine (c06rgc) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

Please consult the x06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this function. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

9 Further Comments

The time taken by nag_sum_fft_qtrsine (c06rgc) is approximately proportional to

n m \log (n)

, but also depends on the factors of

n

. nag_sum_fft_qtrsine (c06rgc) is fastest if the only prime factors of

n

are

2

3

and

5

, and is particularly slow if

n

is a large prime, or has large prime factors. Workspace is internally allocated by this function. The total amount of memory allocated is

O (n)

double values.

10 Example

This example reads in sequences of real data values and prints their quarter-wave sine transforms as computed by nag_sum_fft_qtrsine (c06rgc) with

direct = Nag_ForwardTransform

. It then calls the function again with

direct = Nag_BackwardTransform

and prints the results which may be compared with the original data.
