naginterfaces.library.sum.fft_qtrsine(idir, x)

fft_qtrsine computes the discrete quarter-wave Fourier sine transforms of $m$ sequences of real data values. The elements of each sequence and its transform are stored contiguously.

Parameters

idirint

Indicates the transform, as defined in Notes, to be computed.

$idir=1$

Forward transform.

$idir=-1$

Inverse transform.

xfloat, array-like, shape $(n,m)$

The data values of the $\text{p}$th sequence to be transformed, denoted by $x_{\text{j}}^{\text{p}}$, for $\text{p}=1,2,\dots ,m$, for $\text{j}=1,2,\dots ,n$, must be stored in $x[j-1,p-1]$.

Returns

xfloat, ndarray, shape $(n,m)$

The $n$ components of the $\text{p}$th quarter-wave sine transform, denoted by ${\hat{x}}_{\text{k}}^{\text{p}}$, for $\text{p}=1,2,\dots ,m$, for $\text{k}=1,2,\dots ,n$, are stored in $x[k-1,p-1]$, overwriting the corresponding original values.

Raises

NagValueError

(errno $1$)

On entry, $m=⟨value⟩$.

Constraint: $m\ge 1$.

(errno $2$)

On entry, $n=⟨value⟩$.

Constraint: $n\ge 1$.

(errno $3$)

On entry, $idir=⟨value⟩$.

Constraint: $idir=-1$ or $1$.

(errno $4$)

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.

Notes

Given $m$ sequences of $n$ real data values $x_{\text{j}}^{\text{p}}$, for $\text{p}=1,2,\dots ,m$, for $\text{j}=1,2,\dots ,n$, fft_qtrsine simultaneously calculates the quarter-wave Fourier sine transforms of all the sequences defined by

$${\hat{x}}_k^p=\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}(\sum _{j=1}^{n-1}{x}_j^p\times \sin \left(j(2k-1)\frac{\pi }{2n}\right)+\frac{1}{2}{(-1)}^{k-1}{x}_n^p)\text{, if}idir=1\text{,}$$

or its inverse

$$x_k^p=\frac{2}{\sqrt{n}}\sum _{j=1}^n{\hat{x}}_j^p\times \sin \left((2j-1)k\frac{\pi }{2n}\right)\text{, if}idir=-1\text{,}$$

where $k=1,2,\dots ,n$ and $p=1,2,\dots ,m$.

(Note the scale factor $\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}$ in this definition.)

A call of fft_qtrsine with $idir=1$ followed by a call with $idir=-1$ will restore the original data.

The two transforms are also known as type-III DST and type-II DST, respectively.

The transform calculated by this function can be used to solve Poisson’s equation when the solution is specified at the left boundary, and the derivative of the solution is specified at the right boundary (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 $2$, $3$, $4$ and $5$.
