Description
Given a sequence of
real data values
, for
,
c06paf calculates their discrete Fourier transform (in the
forward direction) defined by
The transformed values
are complex, but they 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 a Hermitian sequence of
complex data values
, this routine calculates their inverse (
backward) discrete Fourier transform defined by
The transformed values
are real.
(Note the scale factor of in the above definitions.)
A call of c06paf with followed by a call with will restore the original data.
c06paf 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).
The same functionality is available using the forward and backward transform routine pair:
c06pvf and
c06pwf on setting
. This pair use a different storage solution; real data is stored in a real array, while Hermitian data (the first unconjugated half) is stored in a complex array.

Arguments
-
1:
– Character(1)
Input
-
On entry: if the forward transform as defined in
Section 3 is to be computed,
direct must be set equal to 'F'.
If the backward transform is to be computed,
direct must be set equal to 'B'.
Constraint:
or .
-
2:
– Real (Kind=nag_wp) array
Input/Output
-
On entry: if
x is declared with bounds
in the subroutine from which
c06paf is called:
- if ,
must contain , for ;
-
if , and must contain the real and imaginary parts respectively of , for . (Note that for the sequence to be Hermitian, the imaginary part of , and of for even, must be zero.)
On exit:
- if and x is declared with bounds ,
and will contain the real and imaginary parts respectively of , for ;
- if and x is declared with bounds ,
will contain , for .
-
3:
– Integer
Input
-
On entry: , the number of data values.
Constraint:
.
-
4:
– Real (Kind=nag_wp) array
Workspace
-
Note: the dimension of the array
work
must be at least
.
The workspace requirements as documented for c06paf may be an overestimate in some implementations.
On exit:
contains the minimum workspace required for the current value of
n with this implementation.
-
5:
– Integer
Input/Output
-
On entry:
ifail must be set to
,
. If you are unfamiliar with this argument you should refer to
Section 4 in the Introduction to the NAG Library FL Interface for details.
For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value
is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value
is recommended. Otherwise, if you are not familiar with this argument, the recommended value is
.
When the value is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.
On exit:
unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see
Section 6).

Error Indicators and Warnings
If on entry
or
, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by
x04aaf).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
-
On entry, .
Constraint: .
-
On entry, .
Constraint: or .
-
An internal error has occurred in this routine.
Check the routine call and any array sizes.
If the call is correct then please contact

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
c06paf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
c06paf makes calls to BLAS and/or LAPACK routines, which may be threaded within the vendor library used by this implementation. Consult the documentation for the vendor library for further information.
Please consult the
X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this routine. Please also consult the
Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.
The time taken is approximately proportional to , but also depends on the factorization of . c06paf is faster if the only prime factors of are , or ; and fastest of all if is a power of .

Example
This example reads in a sequence of real data values and prints their discrete Fourier transform (as computed by c06paf with ), after expanding it from complex Hermitian form into a full complex sequence. It then performs an inverse transform using c06paf with , and prints the sequence so obtained alongside the original data values.
