Update of spherical Bessel transform: FFTW and OpenMP

Abstract
We present an update of spherical Bessel transform subroutines. The update makes use of the widely available FFTW library for performing necessary fast Fourier transforms. Moreover, the update is prepared for shared memory OpenMP parallelization that is popular on multi-core processors. Furthermore, the updated version uses the module concept to achieve a better control over the memory allocation/deallocation, which also contributes to the performance of the updated package.

Nature of problem
The Fourier transform of a spherically symmetric angular momentum eigen-function leads to the spherical Bessel transform of the corresponding radial function. Radial functions are often given numerically, on a radial grid. Therefore, the direct computation of the spherical Bessel transform would require of order N arithmetical operations for each value of the transform variable, where N is the number of points on the radial grid. At large values of the transform variable, the rapid oscillation o ...
