 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>The multi-dimensional transforms of FFTW, in general, compute simply the
 | 
						|
separable product of the given 1d transform along each dimension of the
 | 
						|
array.  Since each of these transforms is unnormalized, computing the
 | 
						|
forward followed by the backward/inverse multi-dimensional transform
 | 
						|
will result in the original array scaled by the product of the
 | 
						|
normalization factors for each dimension (e.g. the product of the
 | 
						|
dimension sizes, for a multi-dimensional DFT).
 | 
						|
</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<span id="index-r2c-3"></span>
 | 
						|
<p>The definition of FFTW’s multi-dimensional DFT of real data (r2c)
 | 
						|
deserves special attention.  In this case, we logically compute the full
 | 
						|
multi-dimensional DFT of the input data; since the input data are purely
 | 
						|
real, the output data have the Hermitian symmetry and therefore only one
 | 
						|
non-redundant half need be stored.  More specifically, for an n<sub>0</sub> × n<sub>1</sub> × n<sub>2</sub> × … × n<sub>d-1</sub>
 | 
						|
 multi-dimensional real-input DFT, the full (logical) complex output array
 | 
						|
<i>Y</i>[<i>k</i><sub>0</sub>, <i>k</i><sub>1</sub>, ...,
 | 
						|
<i>k</i><sub><i>d-1</i></sub>]
 | 
						|
has the symmetry:
 | 
						|
<i>Y</i>[<i>k</i><sub>0</sub>, <i>k</i><sub>1</sub>, ...,
 | 
						|
<i>k</i><sub><i>d-1</i></sub>] = <i>Y</i>[<i>n</i><sub>0</sub> -
 | 
						|
<i>k</i><sub>0</sub>, <i>n</i><sub>1</sub> - <i>k</i><sub>1</sub>, ...,
 | 
						|
<i>n</i><sub><i>d-1</i></sub> - <i>k</i><sub><i>d-1</i></sub>]<sup>*</sup>
 | 
						|
(where each dimension is periodic).  Because of this symmetry, we only
 | 
						|
store the
 | 
						|
<i>k</i><sub><i>d-1</i></sub> = 0...<i>n</i><sub><i>d-1</i></sub>/2+1
 | 
						|
elements of the <em>last</em> dimension (division by <em>2</em> is rounded
 | 
						|
down).  (We could instead have cut any other dimension in half, but the
 | 
						|
last dimension proved computationally convenient.)  This results in the
 | 
						|
peculiar array format described in more detail by <a href="Real_002ddata-DFT-Array-Format.html">Real-data DFT Array Format</a>.
 | 
						|
</p>
 | 
						|
<p>The multi-dimensional c2r transform is simply the unnormalized inverse
 | 
						|
of the r2c transform.  i.e. it is the same as FFTW’s complex backward
 | 
						|
multi-dimensional DFT, operating on a Hermitian input array in the
 | 
						|
peculiar format mentioned above and outputting a real array (since the
 | 
						|
DFT output is purely real).
 | 
						|
</p>
 | 
						|
<p>We should remind the user that the separable product of 1d transforms
 | 
						|
along each dimension, as computed by FFTW, is not always the same thing
 | 
						|
as the usual multi-dimensional transform.  A multi-dimensional
 | 
						|
<code>R2HC</code> (or <code>HC2R</code>) transform is not identical to the
 | 
						|
multi-dimensional DFT, requiring some post-processing to combine the
 | 
						|
requisite real and imaginary parts, as was described in <a href="The-Halfcomplex_002dformat-DFT.html">The Halfcomplex-format DFT</a>.  Likewise, FFTW’s multidimensional
 | 
						|
<code>FFTW_DHT</code> r2r transform is not the same thing as the logical
 | 
						|
multi-dimensional discrete Hartley transform defined in the literature,
 | 
						|
as discussed in <a href="The-Discrete-Hartley-Transform.html">The Discrete Hartley Transform</a>.
