naginterfaces.library.sum.fft_real_qtrsine_simple(direct, m, n, x)

fft_real_qtrsine_simple computes the discrete quarter-wave Fourier sine transforms of $m$ sequences of real data values.

For full information please refer to the NAG Library document for c06rc

Parameters

directstr, length 1

If the forward transform as defined in Notes 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’.

mint

$m$, the number of sequences to be transformed.

nint

$n$, the number of real values in each sequence.

xfloat, array-like, shape $(m\times (n+2))$

The data must be stored in $x$ as if in a two-dimensional array of dimension $(1:m,1:n+2)$; each of the $m$ sequences is stored in a row of the array. In other words, if the data values of the $\text{p}$th sequence to be transformed are denoted by $x_{\text{j}}^{\text{p}}$, for $\text{p}=1,2,\dots ,m$, for $\text{j}=1,2,\dots ,n$, the first $mn$ elements of the array $x$ must contain the values

$$x_1^1,x_1^2,\dots ,x_1^m,x_2^1,x_2^2,\dots ,x_2^m,\dots ,x_n^1,x_n^2,\dots ,x_n^m\text{.}$$

The $(n+1)$th and $(n+2)$th elements of each row $x_{n+1}^{\text{p}},x_{n+2}^{\text{p}}$, for $\text{p}=1,2,\dots ,m$, are required as workspace. These $2m$ elements may contain arbitrary values as they are set to zero by the function.

Returns

xfloat, ndarray, shape $(m\times (n+2))$

The $m$ quarter-wave sine transforms stored as if in a two-dimensional array of dimension $(1:m,1:n+2)$. Each of the $m$ transforms is stored in a row of the array, overwriting the corresponding original sequence. If the $n$ components of the $\text{p}$th quarter-wave sine transform are denoted by ${\hat{x}}_{\text{k}}^{\text{p}}$, for $\text{p}=1,2,\dots ,m$, for $\text{k}=1,2,\dots ,n$, the $m(n+2)$ elements of the array $x$ contain the values

$${\hat{x}}_1^1,{\hat{x}}_1^2,\dots ,{\hat{x}}_1^m,{\hat{x}}_2^1,{\hat{x}}_2^2,\dots ,{\hat{x}}_2^m,\dots ,{\hat{x}}_n^1,{\hat{x}}_n^2,\dots ,{\hat{x}}_n^m,0,0,\dots ,0\left(2m\text{times}\right)\text{.}$$

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, $direct=⟨value⟩$.

Constraint: $direct=\text{'F'}$ or $\text{'B'}$.

(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

No equivalent traditional C interface for this routine exists in the NAG Library.

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_real_qtrsine_simple simultaneously calculates the quarter-wave Fourier sine transforms of all the sequences defined by

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

or its inverse

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

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_real_qtrsine_simple with $direct=\text{'F'}$ followed by a call with $direct=\text{'B'}$ will restore the original data.

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 $5$.
