Description

c06pvf computes the two-dimensional discrete Fourier transform of a bivariate sequence of real data values xj1j2, for j1=0,1,,m-1 and j2=0,1,,n-1.
The discrete Fourier transform is here defined by
z^ k1 k2 = 1mn j1=0 m-1 j2=0 n-1 x j1 j2 × exp -2πi j1 k1 m + j2 k2 n ,  
where k1=0,1,,m-1 and k2=0,1,,n-1. (Note the scale factor of 1mn in this definition.)
The transformed values z^ k1 k2  are complex. Because of conjugate symmetry (i.e., z^ k1 k2  is the complex conjugate of z^ m-k1 n-k2 ), only slightly more than half of the Fourier coefficients need to be stored in the output.
A call of c06pvf followed by a call of c06pwf will restore the original data.
This routine calls c06pqf and c06prf to perform multiple one-dimensional discrete Fourier transforms by the fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm in Brigham (1974) and Temperton (1983).

Arguments

1:     m – IntegerInput
On entry: m, the first dimension of the transform.
Constraint: m1.
2:     n – IntegerInput
On entry: n, the second dimension of the transform.
Constraint: n1.
3:     x m×n – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayInput
On entry: the real input dataset x, where x j1 j2  is stored in x j2 × m+ j1, for j1=0,1,,m-1 and j2=0,1,,n-1. That is, if x is regarded as a two-dimensional array of dimension 0:m-1,0:n-1 , xj1j2  must contain x j1 j2 .
4:     y m/2+1×n – Complex (Kind=nag_wp) arrayOutput
On exit: the complex output dataset z^, where z^ k1 k2  is stored in y k2 × m/2+1 + k1, for k1=0,1,,m/2 and k2=0,1,,n-1. That is, if y is regarded as a two-dimensional array of dimension 0:m/2,0:n-1 , yk1k2  contains z^ k1 k2 . Note the first dimension is cut roughly by half to remove the redundant information due to conjugate symmetry.
5:     ifail – IntegerInput/Output
On entry: ifail must be set to 0, -1​ or ​1. If you are unfamiliar with this argument you should refer to Section 3.4 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation 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).

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 3.9 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for further information.
ifail=-399

ifail=-999
Dynamic memory allocation failed.

Accuracy

Some indication of accuracy can be obtained by performing a forward transform using c06pvf and a backward transform using c06pwf, and comparing the results with the original sequence (in exact arithmetic they would be identical).

8
Parallelism and Performance

c06pvf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
c06pvf 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.

Further Comments

The time taken by c06pvf is approximately proportional to mn logmn , but also depends on the factors of m and n. c06pvf is fastest if the only prime factors of m and n are 2, 3 and 5, and is particularly slow if m or n is a large prime, or has large prime factors.
Workspace is internally allocated by c06pvf. The total size of these arrays is approximately proportional to mn.

Example

This example reads in a bivariate sequence of real data values and prints their discrete Fourier transforms as computed by c06pvf. Inverse transforms are then calculated by calling c06pwf showing that the original sequences are restored.
