Description
Given
sequences of
real data values
, for
and
,
c06pqc simultaneously calculates the Fourier transforms of all the sequences defined by
The transformed values are complex, but for each value of the form a Hermitian sequence (i.e., is the complex conjugate of ), so they are completely determined by real numbers (since is real, as is for even).
Alternatively, given
Hermitian sequences of
complex data values
, this function simultaneously calculates their inverse (
backward) discrete Fourier transforms defined by
The transformed values
are real.
(Note the scale factor in the above definition.)
A call of c06pqc with followed by a call with will restore the original data.
The function uses a variant of the fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm (see
Brigham (1974)) known as the Stockham self-sorting algorithm, which is described in
Temperton (1983). Special coding is provided for the factors
,
,
and
.

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
c06pqc is not threaded in any implementation.
The time taken by c06pqc is approximately proportional to , but also depends on the factors of . c06pqc is fastest if the only prime factors of are , and , and is particularly slow if is a large prime, or has large prime factors.

Example
This example reads in sequences of real data values and prints their discrete Fourier transforms (as computed by c06pqc with ), after expanding them from complex Hermitian form into full complex sequences.
Inverse transforms are then calculated by calling c06pqc with showing that the original sequences are restored.
