Fast sine/cosine transform for periodic functions with reflection symmetry
Description
Abstract A modified fast cosine transform (FCT) algorithm is presented featuring the following three properties: (1) the entire calculation is performed using arrays half the size of what would be required using a common fast Fourier transform (FFT); (2) the result of the FCT is identical to that which would be obtained using an FFT and an array double the size; (3) the FCT is its own inverse. The algorithm requires a minor modification to the FCT algorithm in Numerical Recipes by W.H. Press et al., w... Title of program: ROFT/REFT/COFT/CEFT Catalogue Id: ABTX_v1_0 Nature of problem In many physical applications one is interested in obtaining a Fourier transform of a function having a particular reflection symmetry using only half of the grid points, thus saving both computation time and space without any loss of information.
