A fast spherical harmonics transform algorithm

From MaRDI portal





The authors propose a new stable algorithm for the spherical harmonics transform, which runs in time \(O(N^2\log N)\) for cut-off frequency \(N\). The algorithm is based on the linear time polynomial interpolation accelerated by the fast multipole method. Split Legendre functions are introduced, which enables the numerically stable divide-and-conquer approach. Experimental results show that this algorithm is faster than the direct computation for \(N\geq 511\).
