Constructor Detail

HelmholtzPolynomial

public HelmholtzPolynomial(int degree,
                           int order)

Create a Helmholtz polynomial with given degree and order

Parameters:

degree - max degree

order - max order

Method Detail

computeHelmholtzPolynomial

public double computeHelmholtzPolynomial(Vector3D point)

Calculate the value of the polynomial in a given point.

Parameters:

point - the given point

Returns:

value of polynomial

computeConstantCoefficients

protected void computeConstantCoefficients()

Calculate the constant coefficients of the polynomial as per

 ph(m,m)        = SQRT(1 + 1/2m) * ph(m-1,m-1)
 dpph(m+1,m)    = SQRT(2m+3) * ph(m,m)
 alpha(l,m)     = SQRT( (2l+1)*(2l-1) / (l-m)*(l+m) )        for l >= m + 1
                = SQRT( (2l+1)*(2l-1) )                      for l = m
 

On represente les a(l,m) sous la forme d'un tableau unidimentionnel. La dimension de ce tableau est:

 (lmax * (lmax + 1) - ((lmax + 1) - (mmax + 1)) *
         ((lmax + 1) - (mmax + 1) + 1)) / 2
 

Pour un couple l,m donne, on a:

 a(l, m) = aph(i)
 

avec i valant :

 i = (lmax * (lmax + 1) - ((lmax + 1) - m) *
         ((lmax + 1) - m + 1)) / 2 + (l - m) + 1
 

Initial conditions are :

 ph(0,0)     = 1.0
 ph(1,1)     = SQRT(3)
