3 Description

c06fxf computes the three-dimensional discrete Fourier transform of a trivariate sequence of complex data values z j1 j2 j3 , for j1=0,1,,n1-1, j2=0,1,,n2-1 and j3=0,1,,n3-1.
The discrete Fourier transform is here defined by
z^ k1 k2 k3 = 1 n1 n2 n3 j1=0 n1-1 j2=0 n2-1 j3=0 n3-1 z j1 j2 j3 × exp(-2πi( j1k1 n1 + j2k2 n2 + j3k3 n3 )) ,  
where k1=0,1,,n1-1 , k2=0,1,,n2-1 , k3=0,1,,n3-1 .
(Note the scale factor of 1 n1 n2 n3 in this definition.)
To compute the inverse discrete Fourier transform, defined with exp(+2πi()) in the above formula instead of exp(-2πi()) , this routine should be preceded and followed by forming the complex conjugates of the data values and the transform.
This routine performs, for each dimension, multiple one-dimensional discrete Fourier transforms by the fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm (see Brigham (1974)). It is designed to be particularly efficient on vector processors.

5 Arguments

1: n1 Integer Input
On entry: n1, the first dimension of the transform.
Constraint: n11.
2: n2 Integer Input
On entry: n2, the second dimension of the transform.
Constraint: n21.
3: n3 Integer Input
On entry: n3, the third dimension of the transform.
Constraint: n31.
4: x( n1×n2×n3 ) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output
5: y( n1×n2×n3 ) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output
On entry: the real and imaginary parts of the complex data values must be stored in arrays x and y respectively. If x and y are regarded as three-dimensional arrays of dimension (0:n1-1,0:n2-1,0:n3-1), x(j1,j2,j3) and y(j1,j2,j3) must contain the real and imaginary parts of z j1 j2 j3 .
On exit: the real and imaginary parts respectively of the corresponding elements of the computed transform.
6: init Character(1) Input
7: trign1(1) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output
8: trign2(1) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output
9: trign3(1) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output
10: work(1) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
These arguments are no longer accessed by c06fxf.
11: ifail Integer Input/Output
On entry: ifail must be set to 0, −1 or 1 to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.
A value of 0 causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of −1 means that an error message is printed while a value of 1 means that it is not.
If halting is not appropriate, the value −1 or 1 is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value 1 is recommended. Otherwise, the value 0 is recommended. When the value -1 or 1 is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.
On exit: ifail=0 unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry ifail=0 or −1, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by x04aaf).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
ifail=1
On entry, n1=value.
Constraint: n11.
ifail=2
On entry, n2=value.
Constraint: n21.
ifail=3
On entry, n3=value.
Constraint: n31.
ifail=-99
An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please contact NAG.

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.
c06fxf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
c06fxf 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.

9 Further Comments

The time taken is approximately proportional to n1 n2 n3 × log(n1n2n3) , but also depends on the factorization of the individual dimensions n1 , n2 and n3 . c06fxf is faster if the only prime factors are 2, 3 or 5; and fastest of all if they are powers of 2.

10 Example

This example reads in a trivariate sequence of complex data values and prints the three-dimensional Fourier transform. It then performs an inverse transform and prints the sequence so obtained, which may be compared to the original data values.
