Calculate the eigenfunctions of the spherical-cap concentration problem.
call SHReturnTapers (theta0, lmax, tapers, eigenvalues, taper_order, exitstatus)
theta0 : input, real*8
: The angular radius of the spherical cap in radians.
lmax : input, integer
: The spherical harmonic bandwidth of the localization windows.
tapers : output, real*8, dimension (lmax+1, (lmax+1)**2)
: The spherical harmonic coefficients of the (lmax+1)**2 localization windows. Each column contains the coefficients of a single window that possesses non-zero coefficients for the single angular order specified in taper_order. The first and last rows of each column correspond to spherical harmonic degrees 0 and lmax, respectively, and the columns are arranged from best to worst concentrated.
eigenvalues : output, real*8, dimension ((lmax+1)**2)
: The concentration factors of the localization windows.
taper_order : output, integer, dimension ((lmax+1)**2)
: The angular order of the non-zero spherical harmonic coefficients in each column of tapers.
exitstatus : output, optional, integer
: If present, instead of executing a STOP when an error is encountered, the variable exitstatus will be returned describing the error. 0 = No errors; 1 = Improper dimensions of input array; 2 = Improper bounds for input variable; 3 = Error allocating memory; 4 = File IO error.
SHReturnTapers will calculate the eigenfunctions (i.e., localization windows) of the spherical-cap concentration problem. Each column of the matrix tapers contains the spherical harmonic coefficients of a single window and the corresponding concentration factor is given in the array eigenvalues. Each window has non-zero coefficients for only a single angular order that is specified in taper_order: all other spherical harmonic coefficients for a given window are identically zero. The columns of tapers are ordered from best to worst concentrated, and the first and last rows of each column correspond to spherical harmonic degrees 0 and lmax, respectively. The localization windows are normalized such that they have unit power.
