The routine may be called by the names c06raf or nagf_sum_fft_real_sine_simple.

3 Description

Given m sequences of n-1 real data values xjp , for j=1,2,,n-1 and p=1,2,,m, c06raf simultaneously calculates the Fourier sine transforms of all the sequences defined by
x^ kp = 2n j=1 n-1 xjp × sin jk πn ,   k= 1, 2, , n-1 ​ and ​ p= 1, 2, , m .  
(Note the scale factor 2n in this definition.)
Since the Fourier sine transform defined above is its own inverse, two consecutive calls of this routine will restore the original data.
The transform calculated by this routine can be used to solve Poisson's equation when the solution is specified at both left and right boundaries (see Swarztrauber (1977)).
The routine 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.

5 Arguments

1: m Integer Input
On entry: m, the number of sequences to be transformed.
Constraint: m1.
2: n Integer Input
On entry: one more than the number of real values in each sequence, i.e., the number of values in each sequence is n-1.
Constraint: n1.
3: x m×n+2 Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output
On entry: 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 n-1 data values of the pth sequence to be transformed are denoted by xjp, for j=1,2,,n-1 and p=1,2,,m, the first mn-1 elements of the array x must contain the values
x11 , x12 ,, x1m , x21 , x22 ,, x2m ,, x n-1 1 , x n-1 2 ,, x n-1 m .  
The nth to n+2th elements of each row xnp ,, x n+2 p , for p=1,2,,m, are required as workspace. These 3m elements may contain arbitrary values as they are set to zero by the routine.
On exit: the m Fourier 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-1 components of the pth Fourier sine transform are denoted by x^kp, for k=1,2,,n-1 and p=1,2,,m, the mn+2 elements of the array x contain the values
x^11 , x^12 ,, x^1m , x^21 , x^22 ,, x^2m ,, x^ n-1 1 , x^ n-1 2 ,, x^ n-1 m , 0 , 0 , , 0  3m times .  
4: work* Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Workspace
Note: the dimension of the array work must be at least m×n + 2×n + 2×m + 15.
The workspace requirements as documented for c06raf may be an overestimate in some implementations.
On exit: work1 contains the minimum workspace required for the current values of m and n with this implementation.
5: ifail Integer Input/Output
On entry: ifail must be set to 0, -1 or 1. If you are unfamiliar with this argument you should refer to Section 4 in the Introduction to the NAG Library FL Interface for details.
For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value -1 or 1 is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value 1 is recommended. Otherwise, if you are not familiar with this argument, the recommended value is 0. 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, m=value.
Constraint: m1.
ifail=2
On entry, n=value.
Constraint: n1.
ifail=3
An internal error has occurred in this routine. Check the routine call and any array sizes. If the call is correct then please contact NAG for assistance.
ifail=-99
An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please contact NAG.
See Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library FL Interface for further information.
ifail=-399
Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
See Section 8 in the Introduction to the NAG Library FL Interface for further information.
ifail=-999
Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 9 in the Introduction to the NAG Library FL Interface for further information.

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

c06raf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
c06raf 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 by c06raf is approximately proportional to nm logn, but also depends on the factors of n. c06raf is fastest if the only prime factors of n are 2, 3 and 5, and is particularly slow if n is a large prime, or has large prime factors.

10 Example

This example reads in sequences of real data values and prints their Fourier sine transforms (as computed by c06raf). It then calls c06raf again and prints the results which may be compared with the original sequence.
