Chris@42 79 <h4 class="subsection">2.5.1 The Halfcomplex-format DFT</h4>
Chris@42 80
Chris@42 81 <p>An r2r kind of <code>FFTW_R2HC</code> (<em>r2hc</em>) corresponds to an r2c DFT
Chris@42 82 <a name="index-FFTW_005fR2HC"></a>
Chris@42 83 <a name="index-r2c-1"></a>
Chris@42 84 <a name="index-r2hc"></a>
Chris@42 85 (see <a href="One_002dDimensional-DFTs-of-Real-Data.html#One_002dDimensional-DFTs-of-Real-Data">One-Dimensional DFTs of Real Data</a>) but with &ldquo;halfcomplex&rdquo;
Chris@42 86 format output, and may sometimes be faster and/or more convenient than
Chris@42 87 the latter.
Chris@42 88 <a name="index-halfcomplex-format-1"></a>
Chris@42 89 The inverse <em>hc2r</em> transform is of kind <code>FFTW_HC2R</code>.
Chris@42 90 <a name="index-FFTW_005fHC2R"></a>
Chris@42 91 <a name="index-hc2r"></a>
Chris@42 92 This consists of the non-redundant half of the complex output for a 1d
Chris@42 93 real-input DFT of size <code>n</code>, stored as a sequence of <code>n</code> real
Chris@42 94 numbers (<code>double</code>) in the format:
Chris@42 95 </p>
Chris@42 96 <p align=center>
Chris@42 97 r<sub>0</sub>, r<sub>1</sub>, r<sub>2</sub>, ..., r<sub>n/2</sub>, i<sub>(n+1)/2-1</sub>, ..., i<sub>2</sub>, i<sub>1</sub>
Chris@42 98 </p>
Chris@42 99 <p>Here,
Chris@42 100 r<sub>k</sub>is the real part of the <em>k</em>th output, and
Chris@42 101 i<sub>k</sub>is the imaginary part. (Division by 2 is rounded down.) For a
Chris@42 102 halfcomplex array <code>hc[n]</code>, the <em>k</em>th component thus has its
Chris@42 103 real part in <code>hc[k]</code> and its imaginary part in <code>hc[n-k]</code>, with
Chris@42 104 the exception of <code>k</code> <code>==</code> <code>0</code> or <code>n/2</code> (the latter
Chris@42 105 only if <code>n</code> is even)&mdash;in these two cases, the imaginary part is
Chris@42 106 zero due to symmetries of the real-input DFT, and is not stored.
Chris@42 107 Thus, the r2hc transform of <code>n</code> real values is a halfcomplex array of
Chris@42 108 length <code>n</code>, and vice versa for hc2r.
Chris@42 109 <a name="index-normalization-2"></a>
Chris@42 110 </p>
Chris@42 111
Chris@42 112 <p>Aside from the differing format, the output of
Chris@42 113 <code>FFTW_R2HC</code>/<code>FFTW_HC2R</code> is otherwise exactly the same as for
Chris@42 114 the corresponding 1d r2c/c2r transform
Chris@42 115 (i.e. <code>FFTW_FORWARD</code>/<code>FFTW_BACKWARD</code> transforms, respectively).
Chris@42 116 Recall that these transforms are unnormalized, so r2hc followed by hc2r
Chris@42 117 will result in the original data multiplied by <code>n</code>. Furthermore,
Chris@42 118 like the c2r transform, an out-of-place hc2r transform will
Chris@42 119 <em>destroy its input</em> array.
Chris@42 120 </p>
Chris@42 121 <p>Although these halfcomplex transforms can be used with the
Chris@42 122 multi-dimensional r2r interface, the interpretation of such a separable
Chris@42 123 product of transforms along each dimension is problematic. For example,
Chris@42 124 consider a two-dimensional <code>n0</code> by <code>n1</code>, r2hc by r2hc
Chris@42 125 transform planned by <code>fftw_plan_r2r_2d(n0, n1, in, out, FFTW_R2HC,
Chris@42 126 FFTW_R2HC, FFTW_MEASURE)</code>. Conceptually, FFTW first transforms the rows
Chris@42 127 (of size <code>n1</code>) to produce halfcomplex rows, and then transforms the
Chris@42 128 columns (of size <code>n0</code>). Half of these column transforms, however,
Chris@42 129 are of imaginary parts, and should therefore be multiplied by <em>i</em>
Chris@42 130 and combined with the r2hc transforms of the real columns to produce the
Chris@42 131 2d DFT amplitudes; FFTW&rsquo;s r2r transform does <em>not</em> perform this
Chris@42 132 combination for you. Thus, if a multi-dimensional real-input/output DFT
Chris@42 133 is required, we recommend using the ordinary r2c/c2r
Chris@42 134 interface (see <a href="Multi_002dDimensional-DFTs-of-Real-Data.html#Multi_002dDimensional-DFTs-of-Real-Data">Multi-Dimensional DFTs of Real Data</a>).
