Foil 7 Inverse and other FFT Transforms

From Parallel FFT and use in PDE Solvers Computational Science Class CPS615 -- Winter Semester 2000. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 f can be reconstructed from its discrete Fourier transformation G(f) by
2 f = ?*. G(f)/N where * denotes complex conjugation
  • ?* is an N by N matrix and G(f) is a vector of length N
3 Most applications require both calculating FFT's and reconstructing functions from their FFT's
  • However these are essentially the same algorithm as seen above and so we only need to illustrate one case
  • Issues with parallelism and optimal performance are identical
4 For solving the Poisson equation and various other applications, we use variations on the FFT
  • The sin transform – use imaginary part of G
  • The cos transform – use real part of G
