subroutine Interpolate_cubic1Dcoeffs	(	integer	numberOfLines,
		real, dimension (1:4,*), intent(inout)	a
	)

Calculates the cubic expansion coefficients for a collection of lines. The cubic expansion reads, for one line, in terms of rescaled [0,1] x coordinates:

3 i C (x) = sum a (i) x i=0

and is uniquely determined by specifying the following 2 values at each of the 2 endpoints of the line (4 constraints for 4 unknown expansion coefficients):

C (x) (value of function at endpoints) d/dx (1st rescaled x-derivative)

The line itself is defined by its 0 and 1 coordinates of its 2 endpoints:

|———–|—- x 0 1

In order to obtain the function and global derivative values at a global position (X) inside the line, one must first form the rescaled x coordinate:

x = (X - X0) / (X1 - X0)

where X0 and X1 are the lower and upper global square x coordinates:

|———–|—- X X0 X1

The function and global derivative (using the chain rule) values are then:

3 i C (X) = sum a (i) x i=0

3 i-1 d/dX = sum i * a (i) x * dx/dX i=1

where the rescaled to global coordinate differential is:

dx/dX = 1 / (X1 - X0)

i.e. the inverse of the corresponding global line dimension.

Order of Input --------------

The order of the input values (function + derivative) must be such, that each function/derivative must have its endpoint values clustered together in the order shown below. The function + derivative order must follow the order mentioned above. We thus have the following ordering scheme:

Endpoints

x

C (x,y) 0 C (x,y) 1 d/dx 0 d/dx 1

Order of Output ---------------

The location index of the a (i) inside the 4-dimensional vector is given by the following formula:

location index of (i) = 1 + i

numberOfLines : the number of lines to be treated a (i,j) : i-th function/derivative (input) and expansion coefficient (output) of j-th line

NOTES

The array holding initially the function + derivative values and later the tricubic expansion coefficients is passed as an assumed size array (using *). This allows for compact looping over all cubes, even if in the calling routine this array is of different shape. The only drawback of this is that array operations on the assumed size array cannot be performed, i.e. every array element must be addressed by specific indices (like a (i,j) for example), which is the case here. Operations like 'a(1,:) = 1.0' or 'size (a,2)' cannot be done!
