Acknowledgments
The current version of
PGOPHER is the product of
many years research in the general area of spectroscopy. During
that time my work has mainly been funded by the
Engineering and Physical Sciences
Research Council (EPSRC) and (in the early stages) by
The Royal Society. I should
also acknowledge the input of colleagues in Bristol and around the
world for assistance in testing, finding bugs and making
suggestions for improvements to the programs. There are too many
to name individually on the whole, though I should mention Nicky
Elliott who helped in the preparation of this documentation.
Other software used
All versions of PGOPHER make use of the
LAPACK library
for matrix diagonalisation and selected other matrix operations,
as described in E Anderson, Z Bai C Bischof, S Blackford, J
Demmel, J Dongarra, J Du Croz, A Greenbaum,S Hammarling, A
McKenney and D Sorensen, LAPACK users guide, 3rd Ed, Society for
Industrial and Applied Mathematics, Philadelphia, 1999.
In addition the following components are used are used in some
Windows versions of the program, or have been used as a base for
some code:
The files as originally downloaded are included in the
wutils/required directory in the source code archives.
