+
+    Perform the multidimensional discrete curvelet transforms
+
+    The UDCT operator is a wraparound of the ucurvfwd and ucurvinv
+    calls in the UCURV package. Refer to
+    https://ucurv.readthedocs.io for a detailed description of the

+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    udct : :obj:`DTypeLike`, optional
+        Type of elements in input array.
+    dtype : :obj:`DTypeLike`, optional
+        Type of elements in input array.
+    name : :obj:`str`, optional
+        Name of operator (to be used by :func:`pylops.utils.describe.describe`)
+
+    Notes
+    -----
+    The UDCT operator applies the uniform discrete curvelet transform
+    in forward and adjoint modes from the ``ucurv`` library.
+
+    The ``ucurv`` library uses a udct object to represent all the parameters
+    of the multidimensional transform. The udct object have to be created with the size
+    of the data need to be transformed, and the cfg parameter which control the
+    number of resolution and direction.
