FourierDCTMatrix

FourierDCTMatrix[n]

returns an n×n discrete cosine transform matrix of type 2.

FourierDCTMatrix[n,m]

returns an n×n discrete cosine transform matrix of type m.

Details and Options

  • Each entry Frs of the discrete cosine transform matrix of type m is computed as:
  • 1.DCT-I
    2.DCT-II
    3.DCT-III
    4.DCT-IV
  • The discrete cosine transform matrices of types 1, 2, 3 and 4 have inverses of type 1, 3, 2 and 4, respectively. »
  • Rows of the FourierDCTMatrix are basis sequences of the discrete cosine transform.
  • The result of FourierDCTMatrix[n].list is equivalent to FourierDCT[list] when list has length n. However, the computation of FourierDCT[list] is much faster and has less numerical error. »
  • For type 4, the option TargetStructure is supported, which specifies the structure of the returned matrix. Possible settings for TargetStructure include:
  • Automaticautomatically choose the representation returned
    "Dense"represent the matrix as a dense matrix
    "Hermitian"represent the matrix as a Hermitian matrix
    "Orthogonal"represent the matrix as an orthogonal matrix
    "Symmetric"represent the matrix as a symmetric matrix
    "Unitary"represent the matrix as a unitary matrix
  • FourierDCTMatrix[,TargetStructureAutomatic] is equivalent to FourierDCTMatrix[,TargetStructure"Dense"].
  • FourierDCTMatrix[,WorkingPrecision->p] gives a matrix with entries of precision p.
