SpherepackIterator &	set (size_t l_input, int m_input)
	Same as 'set' above, but assumes CoefficientArray is 'a' for m>=0 and 'b' for m<0. This is useful when converting between true spherical harmonics (which allow negative values of m) and SPHEREPACK coefficients (which have only positive values of m, but two arrays for sin(mphi) and cos(mphi) parts).

SpherepackIterator &	set (size_t compact_index)
	Set iterator to a specific compact index. Returns *this.

Detailed Description

Iterates over spectral coefficients stored in SPHEREPACK format.

Details

The internal SPHEREPACK ordering is not intuitive, so SpherepackIterator exists for the purpose of iterating over an array containing SPHEREPACK coefficients and determining the (l,m) of each entry in the array.

SPHEREPACK expands $f (θ, ϕ)$ as

$f (θ, ϕ) = \frac{1}{2} \sum_{l = 0}^{l_{m a x}} {\bar{P}}_{l}^{0} a (0, l) + \sum_{m = 1}^{m_{m a x}} \sum_{l = m}^{l_{m a x}} {\bar{P}}_{l}^{m} (a (m, l) \cos (m ϕ) - b (m, l) \sin (m ϕ))$

where $a (m, l)$ and $b (m, l)$ are the SPHEREPACK spectral coefficients, and ${\bar{P}}_{l}^{m}$ are unit-orthonormal associated Legendre polynomials:

${\bar{P}}_{l}^{m} = (- 1)^{m} \sqrt{\frac{(2 l + 1) (l - m)!}{2 (l + m)!}} P_{l}^{m},$

where $P_{l}^{m}$ are the associated Legendre polynomials as defined for example in Jackson "Classical Electrodynamics".

Example

  const size_t l_max = 4;
  const size_t m_max = 2;
  const size_t stride = 5;
  SpherepackIterator iter(l_max, m_max, stride);
  // Allocate space for a SPHEREPACK array
  std::vector<double> array(iter.spherepack_array_size() * stride);
  // Set each array element equal to l+m for real part
  // and l-m for imaginary part.
  size_t i = 0;
  for (iter.reset(); iter; ++iter, ++i) {
    if (iter.coefficient_array() == SpherepackIterator::CoefficientArray::a) {
      array[iter()] = iter.l() + iter.m();
    } else {
      array[iter()] = iter.l() - iter.m();
    }
    CHECK(iter.l() == test_l[i]);
    CHECK(iter.m() == test_m[i]);
    CHECK(iter() == test_index[i]);
  }

Member Function Documentation

◆ compact_index()

std::optional< size_t > ylm::SpherepackIterator::compact_index ( const size_t offset ) const

inline

Given an offset into a SPHEREPACK coefficient array, return the compact index corresponding to that offset.

Essentially the inverse of operator(). If the offset points to an element that SPHEREPACK doesn't actually use (i.e. no compact index can reach the given offset), then a std::nullopt is returned.

◆ current_compact_index()

size_t ylm::SpherepackIterator::current_compact_index ( ) const

inline

Returns the current compact index that SpherepackIterator uses internally. This does not index a SPHEREPACK coefficient array.

See also: operator() for an index into a SPHEREPACK coefficient array
