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

5 Arguments

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

Constraint: $m \geq 1$ .
2: $n$ – Integer Input: 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: $x [(n - 1) \times m]$ – double Input/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 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_ALLOC_FAIL: Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 3.1.2 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface 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.
See Section 7.5 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.
NE_NO_LICENCE: Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
See Section 8 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface 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

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.

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.

9 Further Comments

The time taken by c06rec is approximately proportional to

n m \log (n)

, but also depends on the factors of

n

. 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.

10 Example

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