Input to the DFT that possess special symmetries occur in various applications. A transform that exploits symmetry usually saves in storage and computational count, such as with the real-to-complex and complex-to-real FFT transforms. The Performance Library cosine and sine transforms are special cases of FFT routines that take advantage of the symmetry properties found in even and odd functions.

Note - Oracle Developer Studio Performance Library sine and cosine transform routines are based on the routines contained in FFTPACK (http://www.netlib.org/fftpack/). Routines with a V prefix are vectorized routines that are based on the routines contained in VFFTPACK (http://www.netlib.org/vfftpack/).

Fast Cosine and Sine Transform Routines

The following tables list the Oracle Developer Studio Performance Library fast cosine and sine transforms. Names of double precision routines are in square brackets. Routines whose name begins with 'V' can compute the transform of one or more sequences simultaneously. Those whose name ends with 'I' are initialization routines.

Fast Sine Transforms

Another type of symmetry that is commonly encountered is the odd symmetry where x(n) = -x(-n) for n = -N+1, …, 0, …, N. As in the case of the fast cosine transform, the fast sine transform (FST) takes advantage of the odd symmetry to save memory and computation. For a real odd sequence x, symmetry implies that x(0) = -x(0) = 0. Therefore, if x is of length 2N then only N = 1 values of x are required to compute the FST. Routine SINT computes the FST of a single real odd sequence while VSINT computes the FST of one or more sequences. Before calling [V]SINT, [V]SINTI must be called to compute trigonometric constants and factors associated with input length N-1. The FST is its own inverse transform. Calling VSINT twice will result in the original N -1 data points. Calling SINT twice will result in the original N-1 data points multiplied by 2N.

An odd sequence with symmetry such that x(n) = -x(-n - 1), where -N+1, …, 0, …, N is said to have quarter-wave odd symmetry. SINQF and SINQB compute the FST and its inverse, respectively, of a single real quarter-wave odd sequence while VSINQF and VSINQB operate on one or more sequences. SINQB is unnormalized, so using the results of SINQF as input in SINQB produces the original sequence scaled by a factor of 4N. However, VSINQB is normalized, so a call to VSINQF followed by a call to VSINQB will produce the original sequence. An FST of a real sequence of length 2N that has quarter-wave odd symmetry requires N input data points and produces an N-point resulting sequence. Initialization is required before calling the transform routines by calling [V]SINQI.

Fast Cosine Transforms

A special form of the FFT that operates on real even sequences is the fast cosine transform (FCT). A real sequence x is said to have even symmetry if x(n) = x(-n) where n = -N + 1, …, 0, …, N. An FCT of a sequence of length 2N requires N + 1 input data points and produces a sequence of size N + 1. Routine COST computes the FCT of a single real even sequence while VCOST computes the FCT of one or more sequences. Before calling [V]COST, [V]COSTI must be called to compute trigonometric constants and factors associated with input length N + 1. The FCT is its own inverse transform. Calling VCOST twice will result in the original N +1 data points. Calling COST twice will result in the original N +1 data points multiplied by 2N.

An even sequence x with symmetry such that x(n) = x(-n - 1) where n = ‐N + 1, … , 0, …, N is said to have quarter-wave even symmetry. COSQF and COSQB compute the FCT and its inverse, respectively, of a single real quarter-wave even sequence. VCOSQF and VCOSQB operate on one or more sequences. The results of [V]COSQB are unnormalized, and if scaled by image:1 over 4N the original sequences are obtained. An FCT of a real sequence of length 2N that has quarter-wave even symmetry requires N input data points and produces an N-point resulting sequence. Initialization is required before calling the transform routines by calling [V]COSQI.
