        output[i+N/2] = even_output[i] - odd_output[i]

# This algorithm takes complex input and output.

# We divide the DFT calculation into 2 DFT calculations of size N/2
# We then do N/2 complex multiplies followed by N complex additions.
# (actually W(0,N) = 1 and W(N/4,N) = -j so we can skip a few of these complex
# multiplies... we will skip 1 for i=0 and 1 for i=N/4. Also for i=N/8 and for
# i=3*N/8 the W(i,N) values can be special-cased to implement the complex
# multiplication using only 2 real additions and 2 real multiplies)

# Also note that all the basic stages of this DFT algorithm are easily
# reversible, so we can calculate the IDFT with the same complexity.


# A varient of this is the radix-2 decimation-in-frequency algorithm :

def unscaled_DFT_radix2_freq (N, input, output):
    even_input = vector(N/2)

    for i in range(N/2):
        output[2*i] = even_output[i]
        output[2*i+1] = odd_output[i]

# Note that the decimation-in-time and the decimation-in-frequency varients
# have exactly the same complexity, they only do the operations in a different
# order.

# Actually, if you look at the decimation-in-time varient of the DFT, and
# reverse it to calculate an IDFT, you get something that is extremely close
# to the decimation-in-frequency DFT algorithm...


# The radix-4 algorithms are slightly more efficient : they take into account
# the fact that with complex numbers, multiplications by j and -j are also
# "free"... i.e. when you code them using real numbers, they translate into
# a few data moves but no real operation.

# Let's start with the radix-4 decimation-in-time algorithm :

        output[i+3*N/4] = tmp_1[i] + 1j * tmp_3[i]

# This algorithm takes complex input and output.

# We divide the DFT calculation into 4 DFT calculations of size N/4
# We then do 3*N/4 complex multiplies followed by 2*N complex additions.
# (actually W(0,N) = 1 and W(N/4,N) = -j so we can skip a few of these complex
# multiplies... we will skip 3 for i=0 and 1 for i=N/8. Also for i=N/8
# the remaining W(i,N) and W(3*i,N) multiplies can be implemented using only
# 2 real additions and 2 real multiplies. For i=N/16 and i=3*N/16 we can also
# optimise the W(2*i/N) multiply this way.

# If we wanted to do the same decomposition with one radix-2 decomposition
# of size N and 2 radix-2 decompositions of size N/2, the total cost would be
# N complex multiplies and 2*N complex additions. Thus we see that the
# decomposition of one DFT calculation of size N into 4 calculations of size
# N/4 using the radix-4 algorithm instead of the radix-2 algorithm saved N/4
# complex multiplies...

# Now let us now summarize our various algorithms for DFT decomposition :

# radix-2 : DFT(N) -> 2*DFT(N/2) using N/2 multiplies and N additions
# radix-4 : DFT(N) -> 4*DFT(N/2) using 3*N/4 multiplies and 2*N additions
# split-radix : DFT(N) -> DFT(N/2) + 2*DFT(N/4) using N/2 muls and 3*N/2 adds

# (we are always speaking of complex multiplies and complex additions... a
# complex addition is implemented with 2 real additions, and a complex
# multiply is implemented with either 2 adds and 4 muls or 3 adds and 3 muls,
# so we will keep a separate count of these)

# If we want to take into account the special values of W(i,N), we can remove
# a few complex multiplies. Supposing N>=16 we can remove :
# radix-2 : remove 2 complex multiplies, simplify 2 others
# radix-4 : remove 4 complex multiplies, simplify 4 others
# split-radix : remove 2 complex multiplies, simplify 2 others

# This gives the following table for the complexity of a complex DFT :
#       N       real additions  real multiplies complex multiplies

# Now let's talk about the DCT algorithm. The canonical definition for it is
# as follows :

def C (k, N):
    return cos ((k*pi)/(2*N))

def unscaled_DCT (N, input, output):
    for o in range(N):          # o is output index
        output[o] = 0
        for i in range(N):      # i is input index
            output[o] = output[o] + input[i] * C ((2*i+1)*o, N)

# This trivial algorithm uses N*N multiplications and N*(N-1) additions.


# One possible decomposition on this calculus is to use the fact that C (i, N)
# and C (2*N-i, N) are opposed. This can lead to this decomposition :

#def unscaled_DCT (N, input, output):
#   even_input = vector (N)
#   odd_input = vector (N)
#   even_output = vector (N)
#   odd_output = vector (N)
#
#   for i in range(N/2):
#       even_input[i] = input[i] + input[N-1-i]
#       odd_input[i] = input[i] - input[N-1-i]
#
#   unscaled_DCT (N, even_input, even_output)
#   unscaled_DCT (N, odd_input, odd_output)
#
#   for i in range(N/2):
#       output[2*i] = even_output[2*i]
#       output[2*i+1] = odd_output[2*i+1]

# Now the even part can easily be calculated : by looking at the C(k,N)
# formula, we see that the even part is actually an unscaled DCT of size N/2.
# The odd part looks like a DCT of size N/2, but the coefficients are
# actually C ((2*i+1)*(2*o+1), 2*N) instead of C ((2*i+1)*o, N).

# We use a trigonometric relation here :
# 2 * C ((a+b)/2, N) * C ((a-b)/2, N) = C (a, N) + C (b, N)
# Thus with a = (2*i+1)*o and b = (2*i+1)*(o+1) :
# 2 * C((2*i+1)*(2*o+1),2N) * C(2*i+1,2N) = C((2*i+1)*o,N) + C((2*i+1)*(o+1),N)

# This leads us to the Lee DCT algorithm :

def unscaled_DCT_Lee (N, input, output):
    even_input = vector(N/2)
    odd_input = vector(N/2)
    even_output = vector(N/2)
    odd_output = vector(N/2)

    for i in range(N/2):
        even_input[i] = input[i] + input[N-1-i]
        odd_input[i] = input[i] - input[N-1-i]

    for i in range(N/2):
        odd_input[i] = odd_input[i] * (0.5 / C (2*i+1, N))

    unscaled_DCT (N/2, even_input, even_output)
    unscaled_DCT (N/2, odd_input, odd_output)

    for i in range(N/2-1):
        odd_output[i] = odd_output[i] + odd_output[i+1]

    for i in range(N/2):
        output[2*i] = even_output[i]
        output[2*i+1] = odd_output[i];

# Notes about this algorithm :

# The algorithm can be easily inverted to calculate the IDCT instead :
# each of the basic stages are separately inversible...

# This function does N adds, then N/2 muls, then 2 recursive calls with
# size N/2, then N/2-1 adds again. If we apply it recursively, the total
# number of operations will be N*log2(N)/2 multiplies and N*(3*log2(N)/2-1) + 1
# additions. So this is much faster than the canonical algorithm.

# Some of the multiplication coefficients 0.5/cos(...) can get quite large.
# This means that a small error in the input will give a large error on the
# output... For a DCT of size N the biggest coefficient will be at i=N/2-1
# and it will be slighly more than N/pi which can be large for large N's.

# In the IDCT however, the multiplication coefficients for the reverse
# transformation are of the form 2*cos(...) so they can not get big and there
# is no accuracy problem.

# You can find another description of this algorithm at
# http://www.intel.com/drg/mmx/appnotes/ap533.htm



# Another idea is to observe that the DCT calculation can be made to look like
# the DFT calculation : C (k, N) is the real part of W (k, 4*N) or W (-k, 4*N).
# We can use this idea translate the DCT algorithm into a call to the DFT
# algorithm :

def unscaled_DCT_DFT (N, input, output):
    DFT_input = vector (4*N)
    DFT_output = vector (4*N)

    for i in range(N):
        DFT_input[2*i+1] = input[i]
        #DFT_input[4*N-2*i-1] = input[i]        # We could use this instead

    unscaled_DFT (4*N, DFT_input, DFT_output)

    for i in range(N):
        output[i] = DFT_output[i].real


# We can then use our knowledge of the DFT calculation to optimize for this
# particular case. For example using the radix-2 decimation-in-time method :

#def unscaled_DCT_DFT (N, input, output):
#   DFT_input = vector (2*N)
#   DFT_output = vector (2*N)
#
#   for i in range(N):
#       DFT_input[i] = input[i]
#       #DFT_input[2*N-1-i] = input[i]  # We could use this instead
#
#   unscaled_DFT (2*N, DFT_input, DFT_output)
#
#   for i in range(N):
#       DFT_output[i] = DFT_output[i] * W (i, 4*N)
#
#   for i in range(N):
#       output[i] = DFT_output[i].real

# This leads us to the AAN implementation of the DCT algorithm : if we set
# both DFT_input[i] and DFT_input[2*N-1-i] to input[i], then the imaginary
# parts of W(2*i+1) and W(-2*i-1) will compensate, and output_DFT[i] will
# already be a real after the multiplication by W(i,4*N). Which means that
# before the multiplication, it is the product of a real number and W(-i,4*N).
# This leads to the following code, called the AAN algorithm :

def unscaled_DCT_AAN (N, input, output):
    DFT_input = vector (2*N)
    DFT_output = vector (2*N)

    for i in range(N):
        DFT_input[i] = input[i]
        DFT_input[2*N-1-i] = input[i]

    symetrical_unscaled_DFT (2*N, DFT_input, DFT_output)

    for i in range(N):
        output[i] = DFT_output[i].real * (0.5 / C (i, N))

# Notes about the AAN algorithm :

# The cost of this function is N real multiplies and a DFT of size 2*N. The
# DFT to calculate has special properties : the inputs are real and symmetric.
# Also, we only need to calculate the real parts of the N first DFT outputs.
# We can try to take advantage of all that.

# We can invert this algorithm to calculate the IDCT. The final multiply
# stage is trivially invertible. The DFT stage is invertible too, but we have
# to take into account the special properties of this particular DFT for that.

# Once again we have to take care of numerical precision for the DFT : the
# output coefficients can get large, so that a small error in the input will
# give a large error on the output... For a DCT of size N the biggest
# coefficient will be at i=N/2-1 and it will be slightly more than N/pi

# You can find another description of this algorithm at this url :
# www.cmlab.csie.ntu.edu.tw/cml/dsp/training/coding/transform/fastdct.html
# (It is the same server where we already found a description of the fast DFT)


# To optimize the DFT calculation, we can take a lot of specific things into
# account : the input is real and symetric, and we only care about the real
# part of the output. Also, we only care about the N first output coefficients,
# but that one does not save operations actually, because the other
# coefficients are the conjugates of the ones we look anyway.

# One useful way to use the symetry of the input is to use the radix-2
# decimation-in-frequency algorithm. We can write a version of
# unscaled_DFT_radix2_freq for the case where the input is symetrical :
# we have removed a few additions in the first stages because even_input
# is symetrical and odd_input is antisymetrical. Also, we have modified the
# odd_input vector so that the second half of it is set to zero and the real
# part of the DFT output is not modified. After that modification, the second
# part of the odd_input was null so we used the radix-2 decimation-in-frequency
# again on the odd DFT. Also odd_output is symetrical because input is real...

def symetrical_unscaled_DFT (N, input, output):
    even_input = vector(N/2)
    odd_tmp = vector(N/2)
    odd_input = vector(N/2)

    for i in range(N/4):
        odd_tmp[i] = input[i] - input[N/2-1-i]

    odd_input[0] = odd_tmp[0]
    for i in range(N/4)[1:]:
        odd_input[i] = (odd_tmp[i] + odd_tmp[i-1]) * W (i, N)

    unscaled_DFT (N/2, even_input, even_output)
    # symetrical real inputs, real outputs

    unscaled_DFT (N/4, odd_input, odd_output)
    # complex inputs, real outputs

    for i in range(N/4):
        output[N-1-4*i] = output[4*i+1] = odd_output[i]

# This procedure takes 3*N/4-1 real additions and N/2-3 real multiplies,
# followed by another symetrical real DFT of size N/2 and a "complex to real"
# DFT of size N/4.

# We thus get a better performance with the AAN DCT algorithm than with the
# Lee DCT algorithm : we can do a DCT of size 32 with 189 additions, 54+32 real
# multiplies, and 2 complex multiplies. The Lee algorithm would have used 209
# additions and 80 multiplies. With the AAN algorithm, we also have the
# advantage that a big number of the multiplies are actually grouped at the
# output stage of the algorithm, so if we want to do a DCT followed by a
# quantization stage, we will be able to group the multiply of the output with
# the multiply of the quantization stage, thus saving 32 more operations. In
# the mpeg audio layer 1 or 2 processing, we can also group the multiply of the
# output with the multiply of the convolution stage...

# Another source code for the AAN algorithm (implemented on 8 points, and
# without all of the explanations) can be found at this URL :
# http://developer.intel.com/drg/pentiumII/appnotes/aan_org.c . This
# implementation uses 28 adds and 6+8 muls instead of 29 adds and 5+8 muls -
# the difference is that in the symetrical_unscaled_DFT procedure, they noticed
# how odd_input[i] and odd_input[N/4-i] will be combined at the start of the
# complex-to-real DFT and they took advantage of this to convert 2 real adds
# and 4 real muls into one complex multiply.
