Observe: This submit is an excerpt from the forthcoming guide, Deep Studying and Scientific Computing with R torch. The chapter in query is on the Discrete Fourier Remodel (DFT), and is positioned partially three. Half three is devoted to scientific computation past deep studying.
There are two chapters on the Fourier Remodel. The primary strives to, in as “verbal” and lucid a manner as was attainable to me, forged a lightweight on what’s behind the magic; it additionally exhibits how, surprisingly, you possibly can code the DFT in merely half a dozen strains. The second focuses on quick implementation (the Quick Fourier Remodel, or FFT), once more with each conceptual/explanatory in addition to sensible, code-it-yourself elements.
Collectively, these cowl way more materials than may sensibly match right into a weblog submit; due to this fact, please take into account what follows extra as a “teaser” than a completely fledged article.

Within the sciences, the Fourier Remodel is nearly in every single place. Said very typically, it converts information from one illustration to a different, with none lack of data (if performed appropriately, that’s.) When you use torch, it’s only a operate name away: torch_fft_fft() goes a method, torch_fft_ifft() the opposite. For the person, that’s handy – you “simply” have to know how you can interpret the outcomes. Right here, I need to assist with that. We begin with an instance operate name, enjoying round with its output, after which, attempt to get a grip on what’s going on behind the scenes.

Understanding the output of torch_fft_fft()

As we care about precise understanding, we begin from the best attainable instance sign, a pure cosine that performs one revolution over the entire sampling interval.

Start line: A cosine of frequency 1

The best way we set issues up, there can be sixty-four samples; the sampling interval thus equals N = 64. The content material of frequency(), the under helper operate used to assemble the sign, displays how we signify the cosine. Particularly:

[
f(x) = cos(frac{2 pi}{N} k x)
]

Right here (x) values progress over time (or house), and (okay) is the frequency index. A cosine is periodic with interval (2 pi); so if we wish it to first return to its beginning state after sixty-four samples, and (x) runs between zero and sixty-three, we’ll need (okay) to be equal to (1). Like that, we’ll attain the preliminary state once more at place (x = frac{2 pi}{64} * 1 * 64).

Let’s shortly affirm this did what it was purported to:

df <- information.body(x = sample_positions, y = as.numeric(x))

ggplot(df, aes(x = x, y = y)) +
  geom_line() +
  xlab("time") +
  ylab("amplitude") +
  theme_minimal()
Pure cosine that accomplishes one revolution over the complete sample period (64 samples).

Now that we’ve got the enter sign, torch_fft_fft() computes for us the Fourier coefficients, that’s, the significance of the varied frequencies current within the sign. The variety of frequencies thought of will equal the variety of sampling factors: So (X) can be of size sixty-four as effectively.

(In our instance, you’ll discover that the second half of coefficients will equal the primary in magnitude. That is the case for each real-valued sign. In such instances, you might name torch_fft_rfft() as a substitute, which yields “nicer” (within the sense of shorter) vectors to work with. Right here although, I need to clarify the final case, since that’s what you’ll discover performed in most expositions on the subject.)

Even with the sign being actual, the Fourier coefficients are complicated numbers. There are 4 methods to examine them. The primary is to extract the actual half:

[1]  0 32 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
[29] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
[57] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 32

Solely a single coefficient is non-zero, the one at place 1. (We begin counting from zero, and should discard the second half, as defined above.)

Now wanting on the imaginary half, we discover it’s zero all through:

[1]  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
[29] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
[57] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

At this level we all know that there’s only a single frequency current within the sign, particularly, that at (okay = 1). This matches (and it higher needed to) the best way we constructed the sign: particularly, as undertaking a single revolution over the entire sampling interval.

Since, in idea, each coefficient may have non-zero actual and imaginary elements, usually what you’d report is the magnitude (the sq. root of the sum of squared actual and imaginary elements):

[1]  0 32 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
[29] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
[57] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 32

Unsurprisingly, these values precisely replicate the respective actual elements.

Lastly, there’s the section, indicating a attainable shift of the sign (a pure cosine is unshifted). In torch, we’ve got torch_angle() complementing torch_abs(), however we have to consider roundoff error right here. We all know that in every however a single case, the actual and imaginary elements are each precisely zero; however as a result of finite precision in how numbers are offered in a pc, the precise values will usually not be zero. As a substitute, they’ll be very small. If we take considered one of these “faux non-zeroes” and divide it by one other, as occurs within the angle calculation, massive values may result. To stop this from occurring, our customized implementation rounds each inputs earlier than triggering the division.

section <- operate(Ft, threshold = 1e5) {
  torch_atan2(
    torch_abs(torch_round(Ft$imag * threshold)),
    torch_abs(torch_round(Ft$actual * threshold))
  )
}

as.numeric(section(Ft)) %>% spherical(5)
[1]  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
[29] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
[57] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

As anticipated, there isn’t any section shift within the sign.

Let’s visualize what we discovered.

create_plot <- operate(x, y, amount) {
  df <- information.body(
    x_ = x,
    y_ = as.numeric(y) %>% spherical(5)
  )
  ggplot(df, aes(x = x_, y = y_)) +
    geom_col() +
    xlab("frequency") +
    ylab(amount) +
    theme_minimal()
}

p_real <- create_plot(
  sample_positions,
  real_part,
  "actual half"
)
p_imag <- create_plot(
  sample_positions,
  imag_part,
  "imaginary half"
)
p_magnitude <- create_plot(
  sample_positions,
  magnitude,
  "magnitude"
)
p_phase <- create_plot(
  sample_positions,
  section(Ft),
  "section"
)

p_real + p_imag + p_magnitude + p_phase
Real parts, imaginary parts, magnitudes and phases of the Fourier coefficients, obtained on a pure cosine that performs a single revolution over the sampling period. Imaginary parts as well as phases are all zero.

It’s truthful to say that we’ve got no motive to doubt what torch_fft_fft() has performed. However with a pure sinusoid like this, we will perceive precisely what’s occurring by computing the DFT ourselves, by hand. Doing this now will considerably assist us later, after we’re writing the code.

Reconstructing the magic

One caveat about this part. With a subject as wealthy because the Fourier Remodel, and an viewers who I think about to differ broadly on a dimension of math and sciences schooling, my possibilities to fulfill your expectations, pricey reader, have to be very near zero. Nonetheless, I need to take the danger. When you’re an knowledgeable on this stuff, you’ll anyway be simply scanning the textual content, looking for items of torch code. When you’re reasonably accustomed to the DFT, you should still like being reminded of its inside workings. And – most significantly – when you’re reasonably new, and even utterly new, to this subject, you’ll hopefully take away (at the least) one factor: that what looks as if one of many best wonders of the universe (assuming there’s a actuality someway equivalent to what goes on in our minds) could be a surprise, however neither “magic” nor a factor reserved to the initiated.

In a nutshell, the Fourier Remodel is a foundation transformation. Within the case of the DFT – the Discrete Fourier Remodel, the place time and frequency representations each are finite vectors, not features – the brand new foundation seems to be like this:

[
begin{aligned}
&mathbf{w}^{0n}_N = e^{ifrac{2 pi}{N}* 0 * n} = 1
&mathbf{w}^{1n}_N = e^{ifrac{2 pi}{N}* 1 * n} = e^{ifrac{2 pi}{N} n}
&mathbf{w}^{2n}_N = e^{ifrac{2 pi}{N}* 2 * n} = e^{ifrac{2 pi}{N}2n}& …
&mathbf{w}^{(N-1)n}_N = e^{ifrac{2 pi}{N}* (N-1) * n} = e^{ifrac{2 pi}{N}(N-1)n}
end{aligned}
]

Right here (N), as earlier than, is the variety of samples (64, in our case); thus, there are (N) foundation vectors. With (okay) operating via the idea vectors, they are often written:

[
mathbf{w}^{kn}_N = e^{ifrac{2 pi}{N}k n}
]
{#eq-dft-1}

Like (okay), (n) runs from (0) to (N-1). To grasp what these foundation vectors are doing, it’s useful to briefly swap to a shorter sampling interval, (N = 4), say. If we accomplish that, we’ve got 4 foundation vectors: (mathbf{w}^{0n}_N), (mathbf{w}^{1n}_N), (mathbf{w}^{2n}_N), and (mathbf{w}^{3n}_N). The primary one seems to be like this:

[
mathbf{w}^{0n}_N
=
begin{bmatrix}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 0 * 0}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 0 * 1}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 0 * 2}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 0 * 3}
end{bmatrix}
=
begin{bmatrix}
1
1
1
1
end{bmatrix}
]

The second, like so:

[
mathbf{w}^{1n}_N
=
begin{bmatrix}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 1 * 0}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 1 * 1}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 1 * 2}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 1 * 3}
end{bmatrix}
=
begin{bmatrix}
1
e^{ifrac{pi}{2}}
e^{i pi}
e^{ifrac{3 pi}{4}}
end{bmatrix}
=
begin{bmatrix}
1
i
-1
-i
end{bmatrix}
]

That is the third:

[
mathbf{w}^{2n}_N
=
begin{bmatrix}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 2 * 0}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 2 * 1}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 2 * 2}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 2 * 3}
end{bmatrix}
=
begin{bmatrix}
1
e^{ipi}
e^{i 2 pi}
e^{ifrac{3 pi}{2}}
end{bmatrix}
=
begin{bmatrix}
1
-1
1
-1
end{bmatrix}
]

And at last, the fourth:

[
mathbf{w}^{3n}_N
=
begin{bmatrix}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 3 * 0}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 3 * 1}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 3 * 2}
e^{ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 3 * 3}
end{bmatrix}
=
begin{bmatrix}
1
e^{ifrac{3 pi}{2}}
e^{i 3 pi}
e^{ifrac{9 pi}{2}}
end{bmatrix}
=
begin{bmatrix}
1
-i
-1
i
end{bmatrix}
]

We are able to characterize these 4 foundation vectors by way of their “velocity”: how briskly they transfer across the unit circle. To do that, we merely have a look at the rightmost column vectors, the place the ultimate calculation outcomes seem. The values in that column correspond to positions pointed to by the revolving foundation vector at totally different deadlines. Because of this taking a look at a single “replace of place”, we will see how briskly the vector is shifting in a single time step.

Trying first at (mathbf{w}^{0n}_N), we see that it doesn’t transfer in any respect. (mathbf{w}^{1n}_N) goes from (1) to (i) to (-1) to (-i); yet another step, and it might be again the place it began. That’s one revolution in 4 steps, or a step measurement of (frac{pi}{2}). Then (mathbf{w}^{2n}_N) goes at double that tempo, shifting a distance of (pi) alongside the circle. That manner, it finally ends up finishing two revolutions general. Lastly, (mathbf{w}^{3n}_N) achieves three full loops, for a step measurement of (frac{3 pi}{2}).

The factor that makes these foundation vectors so helpful is that they’re mutually orthogonal. That’s, their dot product is zero:

[
langle mathbf{w}^{kn}_N, mathbf{w}^{ln}_N rangle = sum_{n=0}^{N-1} ({e^{ifrac{2 pi}{N}k n}})^* e^{ifrac{2 pi}{N}l n} = sum_{n=0}^{N-1} ({e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{N}k n}})e^{ifrac{2 pi}{N}l n} = 0
]
{#eq-dft-2}

Let’s take, for instance, (mathbf{w}^{2n}_N) and (mathbf{w}^{3n}_N). Certainly, their dot product evaluates to zero.

[
begin{bmatrix}
1 & -1 & 1 & -1
end{bmatrix}
begin{bmatrix}
1
-i
-1
i
end{bmatrix}
=
1 + i + (-1) + (-i) = 0
]

Now, we’re about to see how the orthogonality of the Fourier foundation considerably simplifies the calculation of the DFT. Did you discover the similarity between these foundation vectors and the best way we wrote the instance sign? Right here it’s once more:

[
f(x) = cos(frac{2 pi}{N} k x)
]

If we handle to signify this operate by way of the idea vectors (mathbf{w}^{kn}_N = e^{ifrac{2 pi}{N}okay n}), the inside product between the operate and every foundation vector can be both zero (the “default”) or a a number of of 1 (in case the operate has a element matching the idea vector in query). Fortunately, sines and cosines can simply be transformed into complicated exponentials. In our instance, that is how that goes:

[
begin{aligned}
mathbf{x}_n &= cos(frac{2 pi}{64} n)
&= frac{1}{2} (e^{ifrac{2 pi}{64} n} + e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{64} n})
&= frac{1}{2} (e^{ifrac{2 pi}{64} n} + e^{ifrac{2 pi}{64} 63n})
&= frac{1}{2} (mathbf{w}^{1n}_N + mathbf{w}^{63n}_N)
end{aligned}
]

Right here step one instantly outcomes from Euler’s components, and the second displays the truth that the Fourier coefficients are periodic, with frequency -1 being the identical as 63, -2 equaling 62, and so forth.

Now, the (okay)th Fourier coefficient is obtained by projecting the sign onto foundation vector (okay).

Because of the orthogonality of the idea vectors, solely two coefficients is not going to be zero: these for (mathbf{w}^{1n}_N) and (mathbf{w}^{63n}_N). They’re obtained by computing the inside product between the operate and the idea vector in query, that’s, by summing over (n). For every (n) ranging between (0) and (N-1), we’ve got a contribution of (frac{1}{2}), leaving us with a remaining sum of (32) for each coefficients. For instance, for (mathbf{w}^{1n}_N):

[
begin{aligned}
X_1 &= langle mathbf{w}^{1n}_N, mathbf{x}_n rangle
&= langle mathbf{w}^{1n}_N, frac{1}{2} (mathbf{w}^{1n}_N + mathbf{w}^{63n}_N) rangle
&= frac{1}{2} * 64
&= 32
end{aligned}
]

And analogously for (X_{63}).

Now, wanting again at what torch_fft_fft() gave us, we see we have been in a position to arrive on the identical end result. And we’ve discovered one thing alongside the best way.

So long as we stick with alerts composed of a number of foundation vectors, we will compute the DFT on this manner. On the finish of the chapter, we’ll develop code that may work for all alerts, however first, let’s see if we will dive even deeper into the workings of the DFT. Three issues we’ll need to discover:

  • What would occur if frequencies modified – say, a melody have been sung at a better pitch?

  • What about amplitude adjustments – say, the music have been performed twice as loud?

  • What about section – e.g., there have been an offset earlier than the piece began?

In all instances, we’ll name torch_fft_fft() solely as soon as we’ve decided the end result ourselves.

And at last, we’ll see how complicated sinusoids, made up of various elements, can nonetheless be analyzed on this manner, offered they are often expressed by way of the frequencies that make up the idea.

Various frequency

Assume we quadrupled the frequency, giving us a sign that appeared like this:

[
mathbf{x}_n = cos(frac{2 pi}{N}*4*n)
]

Following the identical logic as above, we will categorical it like so:

[
mathbf{x}_n = frac{1}{2} (mathbf{w}^{4n}_N + mathbf{w}^{60n}_N)
]

We already see that non-zero coefficients can be obtained just for frequency indices (4) and (60). Selecting the previous, we receive

[
begin{aligned}
X_4 &= langle mathbf{w}^{4n}_N, mathbf{x}_n rangle
&= langle mathbf{w}^{4n}_N, frac{1}{2} (mathbf{w}^{4n}_N + mathbf{w}^{60n}_N) rangle
&= 32
end{aligned}
]

For the latter, we’d arrive on the identical end result.

Now, let’s be sure our evaluation is appropriate. The next code snippet incorporates nothing new; it generates the sign, calculates the DFT, and plots them each.

x <- torch_cos(frequency(4, N) * sample_positions)

plot_ft <- operate(x)  p_imag) /
    (p_magnitude 

plot_ft(x)
A pure cosine that performs four revolutions over the sampling period, and its DFT. Imaginary parts and phases are still are zero.

This does certainly affirm our calculations.

A particular case arises when sign frequency rises to the best one “allowed”, within the sense of being detectable with out aliasing. That would be the case at one half of the variety of sampling factors. Then, the sign will appear to be so:

[
mathbf{x}_n = frac{1}{2} (mathbf{w}^{32n}_N + mathbf{w}^{32n}_N)
]

Consequently, we find yourself with a single coefficient, equivalent to a frequency of 32 revolutions per pattern interval, of double the magnitude (64, thus). Listed here are the sign and its DFT:

x <- torch_cos(frequency(32, N) * sample_positions)
plot_ft(x)
A pure cosine that performs thirty-two revolutions over the sampling period, and its DFT. This is the highest frequency where, given sixty-four sample points, no aliasing will occur. Imaginary parts and phases still zero.

Various amplitude

Now, let’s take into consideration what occurs after we differ amplitude. For instance, say the sign will get twice as loud. Now, there can be a multiplier of two that may be taken outdoors the inside product. In consequence, the one factor that adjustments is the magnitude of the coefficients.

Let’s confirm this. The modification is predicated on the instance we had earlier than the final one, with 4 revolutions over the sampling interval:

x <- 2 * torch_cos(frequency(4, N) * sample_positions)
plot_ft(x)
Pure cosine with four revolutions over the sampling period, and doubled amplitude. Imaginary parts and phases still zero.

Thus far, we’ve got not as soon as seen a coefficient with non-zero imaginary half. To alter this, we add in section.

Including section

Altering the section of a sign means shifting it in time. Our instance sign is a cosine, a operate whose worth is 1 at (t=0). (That additionally was the – arbitrarily chosen – place to begin of the sign.)

Now assume we shift the sign ahead by (frac{pi}{2}). Then the height we have been seeing at zero strikes over to (frac{pi}{2}); and if we nonetheless begin “recording” at zero, we should discover a worth of zero there. An equation describing that is the next. For comfort, we assume a sampling interval of (2 pi) and (okay=1), in order that the instance is an easy cosine:

[
f(x) = cos(x – phi)
]

The minus signal might look unintuitive at first. Nevertheless it does make sense: We now need to receive a price of 1 at (x=frac{pi}{2}), so (x – phi) ought to consider to zero. (Or to any a number of of (pi).) Summing up, a delay in time will seem as a detrimental section shift.

Now, we’re going to calculate the DFT for a shifted model of our instance sign. However when you like, take a peek on the phase-shifted model of the time-domain image now already. You’ll see {that a} cosine, delayed by (frac{pi}{2}), is nothing else than a sine beginning at 0.

To compute the DFT, we comply with our familiar-by-now technique. The sign now seems to be like this:

[
mathbf{x}_n = cos(frac{2 pi}{N}*4*x – frac{pi}{2})
]

First, we categorical it by way of foundation vectors:

[
begin{aligned}
mathbf{x}_n &= cos(frac{2 pi}{64} 4 n – frac{pi}{2})
&= frac{1}{2} (e^{ifrac{2 pi}{64} 4n – frac{pi}{2}} + e^{ifrac{2 pi}{64} 60n – frac{pi}{2}})
&= frac{1}{2} (e^{ifrac{2 pi}{64} 4n} e^{-i frac{pi}{2}} + e^{ifrac{2 pi}{64} 60n} e^{ifrac{pi}{2}})
&= frac{1}{2} (e^{-i frac{pi}{2}} mathbf{w}^{4n}_N + e^{i frac{pi}{2}} mathbf{w}^{60n}_N)
end{aligned}
]

Once more, we’ve got non-zero coefficients just for frequencies (4) and (60). However they’re complicated now, and each coefficients are not an identical. As a substitute, one is the complicated conjugate of the opposite. First, (X_4):

[
begin{aligned}
X_4 &= langle mathbf{w}^{4n}_N, mathbf{x}_n rangle
&=langle mathbf{w}^{4n}_N, frac{1}{2} (e^{-i frac{pi}{2}} mathbf{w}^{4n}_N + e^{i frac{pi}{2}} mathbf{w}^{60n}_N) rangle
&= 32 *e^{-i frac{pi}{2}}
&= -32i
end{aligned}
]

And right here, (X_{60}):

[
begin{aligned}
X_{60} &= langle mathbf{w}^{60n}_N, mathbf{x}_N rangle
&= 32 *e^{i frac{pi}{2}}
&= 32i
end{aligned}
]

As standard, we verify our calculation utilizing torch_fft_fft().

x <- torch_cos(frequency(4, N) * sample_positions - pi / 2)

plot_ft(x)
Delaying a pure cosine wave by pi/2 yields a pure sine wave. Now the real parts of all coefficients are zero; instead, non-zero imaginary values are appearing. The phase shift at those positions is pi/2.

For a pure sine wave, the non-zero Fourier coefficients are imaginary. The section shift within the coefficients, reported as (frac{pi}{2}), displays the time delay we utilized to the sign.

Lastly – earlier than we write some code – let’s put all of it collectively, and have a look at a wave that has greater than a single sinusoidal element.

Superposition of sinusoids

The sign we assemble should still be expressed by way of the idea vectors, however it’s not a pure sinusoid. As a substitute, it’s a linear mixture of such:

[
begin{aligned}
mathbf{x}_n &= 3 sin(frac{2 pi}{64} 4n) + 6 cos(frac{2 pi}{64} 2n) +2cos(frac{2 pi}{64} 8n)
end{aligned}
]

I received’t undergo the calculation intimately, however it’s no totally different from the earlier ones. You compute the DFT for every of the three elements, and assemble the outcomes. With none calculation, nonetheless, there’s fairly a number of issues we will say:

  • Because the sign consists of two pure cosines and one pure sine, there can be 4 coefficients with non-zero actual elements, and two with non-zero imaginary elements. The latter can be complicated conjugates of one another.
  • From the best way the sign is written, it’s simple to find the respective frequencies, as effectively: The all-real coefficients will correspond to frequency indices 2, 8, 56, and 62; the all-imaginary ones to indices 4 and 60.
  • Lastly, amplitudes will end result from multiplying with (frac{64}{2}) the scaling elements obtained for the person sinusoids.

Let’s verify:

x <- 3 * torch_sin(frequency(4, N) * sample_positions) +
  6 * torch_cos(frequency(2, N) * sample_positions) +
  2 * torch_cos(frequency(8, N) * sample_positions)

plot_ft(x)
Superposition of pure sinusoids, and its DFT.

Now, how can we calculate the DFT for much less handy alerts?

Coding the DFT

Luckily, we already know what needs to be performed. We need to venture the sign onto every of the idea vectors. In different phrases, we’ll be computing a bunch of inside merchandise. Logic-wise, nothing adjustments: The one distinction is that typically, it is not going to be attainable to signify the sign by way of just some foundation vectors, like we did earlier than. Thus, all projections will truly need to be calculated. However isn’t automation of tedious duties one factor we’ve got computer systems for?

Let’s begin by stating enter, output, and central logic of the algorithm to be applied. As all through this chapter, we keep in a single dimension. The enter, thus, is a one-dimensional tensor, encoding a sign. The output is a one-dimensional vector of Fourier coefficients, of the identical size because the enter, every holding details about a frequency. The central thought is: To acquire a coefficient, venture the sign onto the corresponding foundation vector.

To implement that concept, we have to create the idea vectors, and for each, compute its inside product with the sign. This may be performed in a loop. Surprisingly little code is required to perform the aim:

dft <- operate(x) {
  n_samples <- size(x)

  n <- torch_arange(0, n_samples - 1)$unsqueeze(1)

  Ft <- torch_complex(
    torch_zeros(n_samples), torch_zeros(n_samples)
  )

  for (okay in 0:(n_samples - 1)) {
    w_k <- torch_exp(-1i * 2 * pi / n_samples * okay * n)
    dot <- torch_matmul(w_k, x$to(dtype = torch_cfloat()))
    Ft[k + 1] <- dot
  }
  Ft
}

To check the implementation, we will take the final sign we analysed, and evaluate with the output of torch_fft_fft().

Reassuringly – when you look again – the outcomes are the identical.

Above, did I say “little code”? In truth, a loop will not be even wanted. As a substitute of working with the idea vectors one-by-one, we will stack them in a matrix. Then every row will maintain the conjugate of a foundation vector, and there can be (N) of them. The columns correspond to positions (0) to (N-1); there can be (N) of them as effectively. For instance, that is how the matrix would search for (N=4):

[
mathbf{W}_4
=
begin{bmatrix}
e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 0 * 0} & e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 0 * 1} & e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 0 * 2} & e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 0 * 3}
e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 1 * 0} & e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 1 * 1} & e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 1 * 2} & e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 1 * 3}
e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 2 * 0} & e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 2 * 1} & e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 2 * 2} & e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 2 * 3}
e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 3 * 0} & e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 3 * 1} & e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 3 * 2} & e^{-ifrac{2 pi}{4}* 3 * 3}
end{bmatrix}
]
{#eq-dft-3}

Or, evaluating the expressions:

[
mathbf{W}_4
=
begin{bmatrix}
1 & 1 & 1 & 1
1 & -i & -1 & i
1 & -1 & 1 & -1
1 & i & -1 & -i
end{bmatrix}
]

With that modification, the code seems to be much more elegant:

dft_vec <- operate(x) {
  n_samples <- size(x)

  n <- torch_arange(0, n_samples - 1)$unsqueeze(1)
  okay <- torch_arange(0, n_samples - 1)$unsqueeze(2)

  mat_k_m <- torch_exp(-1i * 2 * pi / n_samples * okay * n)

  torch_matmul(mat_k_m, x$to(dtype = torch_cfloat()))
}

As you possibly can simply confirm, the end result is similar.

Thanks for studying!
