NFSFT - nonequispaced fast spherical Fourier transform
Fourier analysis on the sphere has, despite other fields, practical
relevance in tomography, geophysics, seismology, meteorology and
crystallography. In analogy to the complex exponentials
on the torus, the spherical harmonics
form the orthogonal Fourier basis with respect to the usual inner product on the sphere.
