libtricubic's Introduction

libtricubic

This repository contains a mirror of the version 1.0 of the libtricubic library, developed by François Lekien in 2004.

The following paper explaining the method was published in 2005:

Lekien, F., & Marsden, J. (2005). Tricubic interpolation in three dimensions. International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, 63(3), 455–471. doi:10.1002/nme.1296

Some additional notes and the full matrix can be found in the technical notes:

Lekien, F., Coulliette, C., & Marsden, J. (2004). _Tricubic Engine - Technical Notes and Full Matrix.

The main article refers to the author's website (http://gyre.cds.caltech.edu/pub/software/tricubic/) to download the code and documentation. Unfortunately, this website no longer exists. Even the archive.org snapshot is useless; A single snapshot from December 3rd 2009 is available which seems like an FTP listing. No files are accessible.

The only place where the code could be found was on the fix-phonon project Google code page. The author has archived the tarball. This tarball is extracted and archived in this repo too.

libtricubic's Issues

Library structure is confusing

The code of the original library has odd naming.

All functions to be used are preceded by 'tricubic.' They should be wrapped in a namespace instead.
The B^-1 matrix is named A, for some reason.
Aside, more comments would be helpful for any academic reason.
