spherical_functions_angular()

function spherical_functions_angular	(	in	theta,
		in	lmax
	)

Spherical functions pi and tau.

The algorithm to compute the functions was taken from "Light Scattering by Systems of Particles, Null-Field Method with Discrete Sources: Theory and Programs" by A. Doicu, T. Wriedt, and Y.A. Eremin

For the definition of the pi and tau functions, see the theory section

Parameters

theta	(float array): polar angles
lmax	(int): maximal degree l of P_l^m

Return values

pilm	(cell array): pilm{l+1,m+1} contains pi_l^m(cos(theta))
taulm	(cell array): taulm{l+1,m+1} contains pi_l^m(cos(theta))
