NAG C Library Function Document

Since the Fourier sine transform defined above is its own inverse, two consecutive calls of nag_sum_fft_sine (c06rec) will restore the original data.

The transform calculated by this function can be used to solve Poisson's equation when the solution is specified at both left and right boundaries (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

Arguments

1: $m$ – IntegerInput: On entry: $m$ , the number of sequences to be transformed.

Constraint: $m \geq 1$ .
2: $n$ – IntegerInput: On entry: one more than the number of real values in each sequence, i.e., the number of values in each sequence is $n - 1$ .

Constraint: $n \geq 1$ .
3: $x [(n - 1) \times m]$ – doubleInput/Output: On entry: the $p$ th sequence to be transformed, denoted by $x_{j}^{p}$ , for $j = 1, 2, \dots, n - 1$ and $p = 1, 2, \dots, m$ , must be stored in $x [(p - 1) \times (n - 1) + j - 1]$ .

On exit: the $m$ Fourier sine transforms, overwriting the corresponding original sequences. The $(n - 1)$ components of the $p$ th Fourier sine transform, denoted by ${\hat{x}}_{k}^{p}$ , for $k = 1, 2, \dots, n - 1$ and $p = 1, 2, \dots, m$ , are stored in $x [(p - 1) \times (n - 1) + k - 1]$ .
4: $fail$ – NagError *Input/Output: The NAG error argument (see Section 3.7 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation).

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).

Parallelism and Performance

nag_sum_fft_sine (c06rec) 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.

Further Comments

The time taken by nag_sum_fft_sine (c06rec) is approximately proportional to

n m \log (n)

, but also depends on the factors of

n

. nag_sum_fft_sine (c06rec) 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.

Example

This example reads in sequences of real data values and prints their Fourier sine transforms (as computed by nag_sum_fft_sine (c06rec)). It then calls nag_sum_fft_sine (c06rec) again and prints the results which may be compared with the original sequence.
