With those mid-sem bells chiming, it is time for another update.
The following checkpoints have been reached:
1. The implementation of ellipsoidal harmonic function (also known as Lame's function): The first kind.
The following is the link to the pull request:
https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/3753
The implementation is in Cython and calls LAPACK subroutine. It is based on the python implementation by Knepley and Bardhan given here
Further the absence of Lame's function implementation by any many other libraries there is a challenge in preparation of an extensive test-suite. At present the output of the function for certain range of inputs is tested. The immediate next plan is to try improving the test-suite.
This will be followed by the implementation of Ellipsoidal harmonic function: The second kind.
2. Before this the spherical harmonic functions were improved by reimplementing them in Cython rather than python thus improving the speed.
The details having been elaborately touched in the previous post, are omitted here, saving people from the boredom due to redundancy. The pull request can be accessed from https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/3692
Thanks to the constant support of my brilliant mentors Pauli, Ralf and Stefan, (and I suppose, few miracles!) the progress is as per schedule. Hoping that this pace will be maintained or even better, quickened; post mid-sem evaluation!
Signing off till next time,
Janani
