Description
Given a sequence of
complex data values
, for
,
nag_sum_fft_complex_1d (c06pcc) calculates their (
forward or
backward) discrete Fourier transform (DFT) defined by
(Note the scale factor of
in this definition.) The minus sign is taken in the argument of the exponential within the summation when the forward transform is required, and the plus sign is taken when the backward transform is required.
A call of nag_sum_fft_complex_1d (c06pcc) with followed by a call with will restore the original data.
nag_sum_fft_complex_1d (c06pcc) uses a variant of the fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm (see
Brigham (1974)) known as the Stockham self-sorting algorithm, which is described in
Temperton (1983). If
is a large prime number or if
contains large prime factors, then the Fourier transform is performed using Bluestein's algorithm (see
Bluestein (1968)), which expresses the DFT as a convolution that in turn can be efficiently computed using FFTs of highly composite sizes.

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).

Parallelism and Performance
nag_sum_fft_complex_1d (c06pcc) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
nag_sum_fft_complex_1d (c06pcc) 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.
The time taken is approximately proportional to , but also depends on the factorization of . nag_sum_fft_complex_1d (c06pcc) is faster if the only prime factors of are , or ; and fastest of all if is a power of .
This function internally allocates a workspace of Complex values.
When the Bluestein's FFT algorithm is in use, an additional Complex workspace of size approximately is allocated.

Example
This example reads in a sequence of complex data values and prints their discrete Fourier transform (as computed by nag_sum_fft_complex_1d (c06pcc) with ). It then performs an inverse transform using nag_sum_fft_complex_1d (c06pcc) with , and prints the sequence so obtained alongside the original data values.
