Known bugs
===========
Wrong factor on B coefficient (single coeff version)
-----------------------------
(Probably fixed in the "calculator object" versions!)
Under Kristensson normalisation (with CS = -1), my code gives
B(1,0,n,n)/B(1,0,n,-n) == -(2n)! at (x,y,z) = (x,0,0)
(expected plus or minus 1).
A-coefficients seem to behave correctly.
BUT THE CSPHASE MIGHT BE WRONG ON BOTH SINGLE A AND B (TODO TEST)
Xu's antinormalisation
----------------------
"Xu's antinormalisation" is broken (most likely in legendre.c and maybe
also in qpms_types.h) the plane wave test fails and the spherical wave
reconstruction as well (but the translation coefficients match the
Xu's tables).
Longitudinal waves
------------------
Plane wave decompositions gives wrong value on the longitudinal part.
The implementation of the L coefficients OR the longitudinal waves
is thus probably wrong.
Scattering result asymmetry
---------------------------
The lattice scattering code (such as finitesqlatzsym-scattery.py) produces
asymmetric results where one should not get them, due to the system symmetry.
It seems that the asymmetry appears mostly in the y-direction (i.e.
for example the scattering/absorption cross section at k = (kx, ky, kz)
is not exactly the same as k = (kx, -ky, kz).
What has been checked (hopefully):
- The flip operators for electric waves
- Some weird kind of rounding or other numerical error depending on
the position ordering of the matrix (randomized indices give
the same asymmetry).
What has not been checked (so well):
- The x,y,z-flip operators for magnetic waves (i.e. are they really
supposet to bejust the
same as the operators for electric waves, just with opposite sign?)
- zplane_pq_y
- the translation operators
Singular value asymmetry
------------------------
Similar as the scattering result asymmetry, although not necessarily
only in the y-direction?
Overflows etc.
