The routine may be called by the names c06pyf or nagf_sum_fft_real_3d.
3Description
c06pyf computes the three-dimensional discrete Fourier transform of a trivariate sequence of real data values , for , and .
The discrete Fourier transform is here defined by
where , and . (Note the scale factor of in this definition.)
The transformed values are complex. Because of conjugate symmetry (i.e., is the complex conjugate of ), only slightly more than half of the Fourier coefficients need to be stored in the output.
A call of c06pyf followed by a call of c06pzf will restore the original data.
This routine calls c06pqfandc06prf to perform multiple one-dimensional discrete Fourier transforms by the fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm in Brigham (1974) and Temperton (1983).

4: – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayInput
On entry: the real input dataset , where
is stored in , for , and . That is, if x is regarded as a three-dimensional array of dimension , must contain .
5: – Complex (Kind=nag_wp) arrayOutput
On exit: the complex output dataset , where
is stored in , for , and . That is, if y is regarded as a three-dimensional array of dimension , contains . Note the first dimension is cut roughly by half to remove the redundant information due to conjugate symmetry.
6: – IntegerInput/Output
On entry: ifail must be set to , or to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.
A value of causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of means that an error message is printed while a value of means that it is not.
If halting is not appropriate, the value or is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value is recommended. Otherwise, the value is recommended. When the value or 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).

7Accuracy
Some indication of accuracy can be obtained by performing a forward transform using c06pyf and a backward transform using c06pzf, and comparing the results with the original sequence (in exact arithmetic they would be identical).
8Parallelism and Performance
Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
c06pyf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
c06pyf 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.
9Further Comments
The time taken by c06pyf is approximately proportional to , but also depends on the factors of , and . c06pyf is fastest if the only prime factors of , and are , and , and is particularly slow if one of the dimensions is a large prime, or has large prime factors.
Workspace is internally allocated by c06pyf. The total size of these arrays is approximately proportional to .
10Example
This example reads in a trivariate sequence of real data values and prints their discrete Fourier transforms as computed by c06pyf. Inverse transforms are then calculated by calling c06pzf showing that the original sequences are restored.
