--Zusammenfassung Algorithm 35. An Algorithm for Non-Smoothing Contour Representations of Two-Dimensional Arrays.The FORTRAN code calculates, plots and labels approximate contour lines z (x, y)= c for data that are given as a rectangular array z,k = z (x~, Yk). The present algorithm has been developed for the study of local energy minima and saddle points in nuclear fission theory. Here the precise assignment of contour lines to grid cells is essential whereas the degree of accuracy achieved within each grid cell is unimportant. Therefore, smooth contour plotting methods that envolve derivatives, small step sizes or curve fitting procedures (like those of Lewis [7], McLain [8], and Sutcliffe [9]) are less appropriate.The correct correspondence between curve and cell is particularly important for contours with degeneracies. Therefore, the present algorithm treats the problems of degenerate cells and degenerate nodes in a proper way. Degenerate nodes are treated without approximations by taking also the corners of each grid celt into account (cf. Fig.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
