## y = dct (x, n)
##    Computes the discrete cosine transform of x.  If n is given, then
##    x is padded or trimmed to length n before computing the transform.
##    If x is a matrix, compute the transform along the columns of the
##    the matrix. The transform is faster if x is real-valued and even
##    length.
##
## The discrete cosine transform X of x can be defined as follows:
##
##               N-1
##   X[k] = w(k) sum x[n] cos (pi (2n-1) k / 2N ),  k = 0, ..., N-1
##               n=0
##
## with w(0) = sqrt(1/N) and w(k) = sqrt(2/N), k = 1, ..., N-1.  There
## are other definitions with different scaling of X[k], but this form
## is common in image processing.

## From Discrete Cosine Transform notes by Brian Evans at UT Austin,
## http://www.ece.utexas.edu/~bevans/courses/ee381k/lectures/09_DCT/lecture9/
## the discrete cosine transform of x at k is as follows:
##
##          N-1
##   X[k] = sum 2 x[n] cos (pi (2n-1) k / 2N )
##          n=0
##
## which can be computed using:
##
##   y = [ x ; flipud (x) ]
##   Y = fft(y)
##   X = exp( -j pi [0:N-1] / 2N ) .* Y
##
## or for real, even length x
##
##   y = [ even(x) ; flipud(odd(x)) ]
##   Y = fft(y)
##   X = 2 real { exp( -j pi [0:N-1] / 2N ) .* Y }
##
## Scaling the result by w(k)/2 will give us the desired output.
