Discrete Fourier Transforms

This file contains functions useful for computing discrete Fourier transforms and probability distribution functions for discrete random variables for sequences of elements of \(\QQ\) or \(\CC\), indexed by a range(N), \(\ZZ / N \ZZ\), an abelian group, the conjugacy classes of a permutation group, or the conjugacy classes of a matrix group.

This file implements:

  • __eq__()

  • __mul__() (for right multiplication by a scalar)

  • plotting, printing – IndexedSequence.plot(), IndexedSequence.plot_histogram(), _repr_(), __str__()

  • dft() – computes the discrete Fourier transform for the following cases:

    • a sequence (over \(\QQ\) or CyclotomicField) indexed by range(N) or \(\ZZ / N \ZZ\)

    • a sequence (as above) indexed by a finite abelian group

    • a sequence (as above) indexed by a complete set of representatives of the conjugacy classes of a finite permutation group

    • a sequence (as above) indexed by a complete set of representatives of the conjugacy classes of a finite matrix group

  • idft() – computes the discrete Fourier transform for the following cases:

    • a sequence (over \(\QQ\) or CyclotomicField) indexed by range(N) or \(\ZZ / N \ZZ\)

  • dct(), dst() (for discrete Fourier/Cosine/Sine transform)

  • convolution (in IndexedSequence.convolution() and IndexedSequence.convolution_periodic())

  • fft(), ifft() – (fast Fourier transforms) wrapping GSL’s gsl_fft_complex_forward(), gsl_fft_complex_inverse(), using William Stein’s FastFourierTransform()

  • dwt(), idwt() – (fast wavelet transforms) wrapping GSL’s gsl_dwt_forward(), gsl_dwt_backward() using Joshua Kantor’s WaveletTransform() class. Allows for wavelets of type:

    • “haar”

    • “daubechies”

    • “daubechies_centered”

    • “haar_centered”

    • “bspline”

    • “bspline_centered”

Todo

  • “filtered” DFTs

  • more idfts

  • more examples for probability, stats, theory of FTs

class sage.calculus.transforms.dft.IndexedSequence(L, index_object)[source]

Bases: SageObject

An indexed sequence.

INPUT:

  • L – list

  • index_object – must be a Sage object with an __iter__ method containing the same number of elements as self, which is a list of elements taken from a field

base_ring()[source]

This just returns the common parent \(R\) of the \(N\) list elements. In some applications (say, when computing the discrete Fourier transform, dft), it is more accurate to think of the base_ring as the group ring \(\QQ(\zeta_N)[R]\).

EXAMPLES:

sage: J = list(range(10))
sage: A = [1/10 for j in J]
sage: s = IndexedSequence(A,J)
sage: s.base_ring()
Rational Field
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> J = list(range(Integer(10)))
>>> A = [Integer(1)/Integer(10) for j in J]
>>> s = IndexedSequence(A,J)
>>> s.base_ring()
Rational Field
convolution(other)[source]

Convolves two sequences of the same length (automatically expands the shortest one by extending it by 0 if they have different lengths).

If \(\{a_n\}\) and \(\{b_n\}\) are sequences indexed by \((n=0,1,...,N-1)\), extended by zero for all \(n\) in \(\ZZ\), then the convolution is

\[c_j = \sum_{i=0}^{N-1} a_i b_{j-i}.\]

INPUT:

  • other – a collection of elements of a ring with index set a finite abelian group (under \(+\))

OUTPUT: the Dirichlet convolution of self and other

EXAMPLES:

sage: J = list(range(5))
sage: A = [ZZ(1) for i in J]
sage: B = [ZZ(1) for i in J]
sage: s = IndexedSequence(A,J)
sage: t = IndexedSequence(B,J)
sage: s.convolution(t)
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> J = list(range(Integer(5)))
>>> A = [ZZ(Integer(1)) for i in J]
>>> B = [ZZ(Integer(1)) for i in J]
>>> s = IndexedSequence(A,J)
>>> t = IndexedSequence(B,J)
>>> s.convolution(t)
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]

convolution_periodic(other)[source]

Convolves two collections indexed by a range(...) of the same length (automatically expands the shortest one by extending it by 0 if they have different lengths).

If \(\{a_n\}\) and \(\{b_n\}\) are sequences indexed by \((n=0,1,...,N-1)\), extended periodically for all \(n\) in \(\ZZ\), then the convolution is

\[c_j = \sum_{i=0}^{N-1} a_i b_{j-i}.\]

INPUT:

  • other – a sequence of elements of \(\CC\), \(\RR\) or \(\GF{q}\)

OUTPUT: the Dirichlet convolution of self and other

EXAMPLES:

sage: I = list(range(5))
sage: A = [ZZ(1) for i in I]
sage: B = [ZZ(1) for i in I]
sage: s = IndexedSequence(A,I)
sage: t = IndexedSequence(B,I)
sage: s.convolution_periodic(t)

Read the parent of the elements of S; if \(\QQ\) or \(\CC\) leave as is; if AbelianGroup, use abelian_group_dual; if some other implemented Group (permutation, matrix), call .characters() and test if the index list is the set of conjugacy classes.

sage: s = IndexedSequence(A, J)

dwt(other='haar', wavelet_k=2)[source]

Wraps the gsl WaveletTransform.forward in dwt (written by Joshua Kantor). Assumes the length of the sample is a power of 2. Uses the GSL function gsl_wavelet_transform_forward().

INPUT:

  • other – the name of the type of wavelet; valid choices are:

    • 'daubechies'

    • 'daubechies_centered'

    • 'haar' (default)

    • 'haar_centered'

    • 'bspline'

    • 'bspline_centered'

  • wavelet_k – for daubechies wavelets, wavelet_k specifies a daubechie wavelet with \(k/2\) vanishing moments; \(k = 4,6,...,20\) for \(k\) even are the only ones implemented

    For Haar wavelets, wavelet_k must be 2.

    For bspline wavelets, wavelet_k equal to \(103,105,202,204, 206,208,301,305,307,309\) will give biorthogonal B-spline wavelets of order \((i,j)\) where wavelet_k equals \(100 \cdot i + j\).

The wavelet transform uses \(J = \log_2(n)\) levels.

fft()[source]

Wraps the gsl FastFourierTransform.forward() in fft.

If the length is a power of 2 then this automatically uses the radix2 method. If the number of sample points in the input is a power of 2 then the wrapper for the GSL function gsl_fft_complex_radix2_forward() is automatically called. Otherwise, gsl_fft_complex_forward() is used.

idwt(other='haar', wavelet_k=2)[source]

Implement the gsl WaveletTransform.backward() in dwt.

Assumes the length of the sample is a power of 2. Uses the GSL function gsl_wavelet_transform_backward().

INPUT:

  • other – must be one of the following:

    • 'haar'

    • 'daubechies'

    • 'daubechies_centered'

    • 'haar_centered'

    • 'bspline'

    • 'bspline_centered'

  • wavelet_k – for daubechies wavelets, wavelet_k specifies a daubechie wavelet with \(k/2\) vanishing moments; \(k = 4,6,...,20\) for \(k\) even are the only ones implemented

    For Haar wavelets, wavelet_k must be 2.

    For bspline wavelets, wavelet_k equal to \(103,105,202,204, 206,208,301,305,307,309\) will give biorthogonal B-spline wavelets of order \((i,j)\) where wavelet_k equals \(100 \cdot i + j\).

ifft()[source]

Implement the gsl FastFourierTransform.inverse in fft.
