Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nagc06.h>
void  nag_sum_fft_real_3d (Integer n1, Integer n2, Integer n3, const double x[], Complex y[], NagError *fail)

Description

nag_sum_fft_real_3d (c06pyc) computes the three-dimensional discrete Fourier transform of a trivariate sequence of real data values x 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 x j1 j2 j3 × exp -2πi j1 k1 n1 + j2 k2 n2 + j3 k3 n3 ,  
where k1 = 0,1,, n1-1 , k2 = 0,1,, n2-1  and k3 = 0,1,, n3-1 . (Note the scale factor of 1 n1 n2 n3  in this definition.)
The transformed values z^ k1 k2 k3  are complex. Because of conjugate symmetry (i.e., z^ k1 k2 k3  is the complex conjugate of z^ n1 - k1 n2 - k2 n3 - k3 ), only slightly more than half of the Fourier coefficients need to be stored in the output.
A call of nag_sum_fft_real_3d (c06pyc) followed by a call of nag_sum_fft_hermitian_3d (c06pzc) will restore the original data.
This function performs multiple one-dimensional discrete Fourier transforms by the fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm in Brigham (1974) and Temperton (1983).

Arguments

1:     n1 IntegerInput
On entry: n1, the first dimension of the transform.
Constraint: n11.
2:     n2 IntegerInput
On entry: n2, the second dimension of the transform.
Constraint: n21.
3:     n3 IntegerInput
On entry: n3, the third dimension of the transform.
Constraint: n31.
4:     x[ n1×n2×n3 ] const doubleInput
On entry: the real input dataset x, where x j1 j2 j3  is stored in x[j3×n1n2+j2×n1+j1], for j1=0,1,,n1-1, j2=0,1,,n2-1 and j3=0,1,,n3-1.
5:     y[dim] ComplexOutput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array y must be at least n1/2+1×n2×n3 .
On exit: the complex output dataset z^, where z^ k1 k2 k3  is stored in y[k3× n1 /2+1 n2+k2× n1 /2+1+k1] , for k1=0,1,,n1/2, k2=0,1,,n2-1 and k3=0,1,,n3-1. Note the first dimension is cut roughly by half to remove the redundant information due to conjugate symmetry.
6:     fail NagError *Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 3.7 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation).

Accuracy

Some indication of accuracy can be obtained by performing a forward transform using nag_sum_fft_real_3d (c06pyc) and a backward transform using nag_sum_fft_hermitian_3d (c06pzc), and comparing the results with the original sequence (in exact arithmetic they would be identical).

Parallelism and Performance

nag_sum_fft_real_3d (c06pyc) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
nag_sum_fft_real_3d (c06pyc) 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 function. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

Further Comments

The time taken by nag_sum_fft_real_3d (c06pyc) is approximately proportional to n1 n2 n3 log n1 n2 n3 , but also depends on the factors of n1, n2 and n3. nag_sum_fft_real_3d (c06pyc) is fastest if the only prime factors of n1, n2 and n3 are 2, 3 and 5, and is particularly slow if one of the dimensions is a large prime, or has large prime factors.
Workspace is internally allocated by nag_sum_fft_real_3d (c06pyc). The total size of these arrays is approximately proportional to n1 n2 n3 .

Example

This example reads in a trivariate sequence of real data values and prints their discrete Fourier transforms as computed by nag_sum_fft_real_3d (c06pyc). Inverse transforms are then calculated by calling nag_sum_fft_hermitian_3d (c06pzc) showing that the original sequences are restored.
