Overview

-The Discrete Hartley Transform is closely related to the Discrete Fourier Transform,
  but unlike the DFT, the DHT has the advantage of producing real numbers.
-Furthermore, it is (quasi-)symmetrical.
 

   1°) One-dimensional data ( vector )
   2°) Two-dimensional data ( matrix )
   3°) Three-dimensional data ( hypermatrix )
   4°) The Fast Hartley Transform ( one-dimensional only ; X-Functions module required )
   5°) The Hartley Transform and the Filon's Integration formula  ( new )

-This last paragraph deals with the continuous Hartley Transform.
 

1°) One-dimensional Data
 

-The DHT of a vector  [ a1 , a2 , ........ , an ]  is a vector   [ b1 , b2 , ........ , bn ]

  where   bi =  SUMq=1,2,...,n   aq. cas  360°(q-1)(i-1)/n    with   cas µ = sin µ + cos µ
 

Data Registers:           •  R00 = n    •  R01 = a1 ;  •  R02 = a2 ; .......... ;  •  Rnn = an     ( these registers are to be initialized before executing "DHT" )

Example:    Find the DHT of  [ 2  4  7  6 ]

  n = 4   therefore  4  STO 00   and   2  STO 01   4 STO 02   7  STO 03   6  STO 04

  1  XEQ "DHT"  >>>   19
  2      R/S           >>>    -7
  3      R/S           >>>    -1
  4      R/S           >>>    -3     whence   DHT [ 2  4  7  6 ]  =  [ 19  -7  -1  -3 ]

Notes:   -If you call  a0 ; a1 ; ...... ; an-1  the components of these vectors  ( all subscripts decremented by 1 ) , replace lines 05-06 by the single line *
             -Execution time = 83 seconds per component if  n = 100.
             -The DFT may be obtained from the DHT as follows: keep the first element unchanged ( 19 ) and reverse the order of the others  ( -3 -1 -7 )

 then  perform   E =  (   [ 19  -7  -1  -3  ]  +  [ 19  -3  -1  -7 ]  ) / 2  =  [ 19 -5  -1  -5 ]  = the even part of the DHT
            and       O = (   [ 19  -7  -1  -3  ]  -  [ 19  -3  -1  -7 ]  ) / 2  =  [ 0 -2  0  2 ]        = the odd part of the DHT

-The DFT = E - i.O =  [ 19  -5+2.i  -1  -5-2.i ]

-We have the property   DHToDHT = n.Id
-Thus, applying the DHT twice yields the original vector multiplied by n.
 

2°) Two-dimensional Data

-The DHT may be generalized to  nxm matrices  [ ai,j ]  ( 1 <= i <= n ; 1 <= j <= m ). The result is also a  nxm matrix  [ bi,j ]

  where  bi,j =  SUMq=1,2,...,n  ; r=1,2,....,m   aq,r. cas 360°[(q-1)(i-1)/n+(r-1)(j-1)/m]            ( cas = sin + cos )
 

Data Registers:     •  R00 = n.mmm  =  n + m/1000     ( these  nm+1 registers are to be initialized before executing "DHT2" )
                                •  R01 = a1,1      •  Rn+1 = a1,2   .......................................   •  Rnm-n+1 = a1,m
                                •  R02 = a2,1      •  Rn+2 = a2,2   .......................................   •  Rnm-n+2 = a2,m

 Example:    Let  A =   [  4  5  7  14  ]       Calculate   b2,3
                                     [  2  9  6  11  ] ]

 We have 3 rows and 4 columns , therefore  3.004  STO 00  and we store the 12 elements in registers  R01 thru R12  in column order:
  1  STO 01    4  STO 02   2  STO 03  ..........   14  STO 11   11 STO 12

                                                  [ -12.7321  -7.9282   -1.4641    7.1962  ] ]

Notes:   -If all subscripts are decremented by 1 ( a0,0 to an-1,m-1) , replace lines 06-07 by the single line *  and delete line 04.
             -Execution time = 42 seconds per component if  n = 5 and m = 7.
-We have the property   DHToDHT = nm.Id
-Applying the DHT twice yields the original matrix multiplied by nm.
 

3°) Three-dimensional Data
 

-In this case, the DHT of a  nxmxp  hypermatrix [ ai,j,k ]  ( 1 <= i <= n ; 1 <= j <= m ; 1 <= k <= p ) is a  nxmxp hypermatrix  [ bi,j,k ]

  where  bi,j,k =  SUMq=1,2,...,n  ; r=1,2,....,m ; s=1,2,....,p   aq,r,s. cas 360°[(q-1)(i-1)/n+(r-1)(j-1)/m+(s-1)(k-1)/p]         ( cas = sin + cos )

4°) The Fast Hartley Transform ( n must be an integer power of 2 ; n > 1 )

 -If  n = 2N is an integer power of 2 , the DHT of  [ a1 , a2 , ........ , an ]  =  [ b1 , b2 , ........ , bn ]  may be perform more quickly by the following method:

 a)  First, the  ai  are placed into the jth position where j is calculated as follows ( lines 01 to 37 ):         i-1 is written in binary ,
      and the digits are reversed which yields  j-1   ( for instance, if  i = 4 , 4-1 = 3 = (011)2 >>> (110)2 = 6 = 7-1  thus, a4 is placed into the 7th position )

 b)  Then, for L = 1 to N,   registers  Rii  are replaced by  Rj1 + Rj2 .cos 360°(i-1)/2L + Rj3 .sin 360°(i-1)/2L    ( i = 1 ,2 , ...... , n )

      with  j1 = i - (i-1) mod 2L + (i-1) mod 2L-1  ;
              j2 = j1 + 2L-1  ;
              j3 =  j2           if   ( i-1) mod 2L-1 = 0  and   j3 =  2L + i - (i-1) mod 2L - (i-1) mod 2L-1  otherwise.
 

Data Registers:       •  R00 = n    •  R01 = a1 ;  •  R02 = a2 ; .......... ;  •  Rnn = an     ( these n+1 registers are to be initialized before executing "FHT" )
           and when the program stops,   R01 = b1 ;     R02 = b2 ; .......... ;     Rnn = bn

Example:    Find   DHT [ 2  4  7  6 ]

n = 4   therefore  4  STO 00   and   2  STO 01   4 STO 02   7  STO 03   6  STO 04   XEQ "FHT"

-21 seconds later, we have  R01 = 19   R02 = -7   R03 = -1   R04 = -3  whence   DHT [ 2  4  7  6 ]  =  [ 19  -7  -1  -3 ]

Notes:  -This program doesn't work if  n = 1    ( but DHT [ a ] = [ a ] )
            - I've measured the following execution times:
 
       n      2      4      8     16     32     64   128
  nxDHT     4s    14s    53s  3m32s 14m10s 56m40s  3h47m
    FHT     6s    21s    60s  2m38s  6m36s 15m59s 37m34s

-FHT execution time is approximately proportional to  n.Log n  ( instead of n2 for n.DHT )
-Obviously, this "fast" algorithm remains relatively slow with an HP-41 and it's worthwhile only if  n > 8
-However, the advantage is substantial if  n = 128  ( about 6 times faster )
 and good emulators can reduce execution times to even more "reasonable" values...
-Furthermore, calculations are less complicated and roundoff errors are smaller.
 

5°) The Hartley Transform & the Filon's Integration Formula
 

-Actually, Hartley has defined the real transform  H(x) =  (2.pi) -1/2  §-infinity+infinity  f(t) ( cos x.t + sin x.t ) dt      ( § = integral )
-This transform is strictly reciprocal.

-In the following program, we assume  f(t)  is defined over an interval  [ a ; b ]    ( f = 0 elsewhere )  where n = b - a  is an even integer
 and we omit the factor (2.pi) -1/2      ( Add  PI  ST+ X  SQRT  /   after line 112 if you want to take it into account )

-The integral is estimated by the Filon's formula.
 

Data Registers:           •  R00 = f(a)    •  R01 = f(a+1)   •  R02 = f(a+2)  , .......... ,  •  Rnn = f(b) = f(a+n)

                                      ( these n+1 registers are to be initialized before executing "HRTL" )

  where  b-a =  n  must be  even  and  x  is expressed in  radians

Example1:      f  is only known by the following samples, and  f = 0  if  t < 3  or  t > 7
 
 
     t     3     4     5     6     7
   f(t)     1     2     1    -2    -7

-We store the f-values into registers  R00 thru R04:   1  STO 00   2  STO 01   1  STO 02   -2  STO 03   -7  STO 04
 and then, for instance:

  2  XEQ "HRTL"   >>>>   H(2) = -3.8768  and similarly:
 
      x      -3      -2      -1       0       1       2       3
   H(x)   0.7675  -3.5134  -2.8271  -1.3333  -9.6763  -3.8768  -3.7485

-Actually, we had   f(t) = -14 +8.t - t2   and these results are exact because Filon's formulae produce perfect accuracy if  f is a polynomial of degree 2

-If you compute more H(x)-values , you'll see the following graph ( approximately ):

                                                 H(x)
                                 *                |                           *
                               *   *             |        *               *   *
                    *       *      *        *  |     *   *           *       *        *
      --------*--*--*-----*---*--*|--*----*----- *-------*--*---*------------------------- x
                          *          *  *       |*          *      *               *
                                        *         |              *  *
                                                   |                *
 

Example2:     We take  f(t) =  e -t/2  for  t >= 0  and  f(t) = 0  if  t < 0

- H(x) may be expressed analytically and  H(x) = 2(1+2x)/(1+4x2)

-If we use f(0) , f(1) , .............. , f(16) to represent the function  ( these 17 numbers are to be stored in registers R00 thru R16 ),
 we obtain the following results:
 
 
      x       -1     -0.5    -0.25       0   0.2071       1       2
  HRTL  -0.3971   0.0034   0.8015   2.0000   2.4154   1.2025   0.5930
   exact    -0.4       0      0.8       2   2.4142      1.2   0.5882

-The accuracy is quite satisfactory.
-The graph of the Hartley transform looks like this:

                                                              H(x)
                                                                 |
                                                                 |  *                               H(x) is maximum for x = 0.2071
