What is the difference between the following two things:

  • make a 2-D Discrete Fourier Transform of a certain matrix A[p,p],

  • first reshape this matrix into a 1-D vector a[p^2,1], and compute the 1-D DFT of this vector?

Matlab shows the result is completely different, but I don't understand why, and is there a way to say how this two things can be equivalent? The second question is more important.

Thank you.

    You have two different ways to transform $9$ given numbers into $9$ new numbers and ask why the result is not the same. You might also ask why $\sqrt{x+y}$ is not $=\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{y}$. Try to understand the underlying structures and ideas!2012-12-26
