Rotation of real spherical harmonics

Abstract
In many physical problems, such as the calculation of interactions between multipoles, the rotation of spherical harmonics is necessary. In this paper, a computer program for the rotation of real spherical harmonics is reported. The program is designed for calculating sets of rotation matrices, for given Eulerian angles, and exploits some recurrence relations which make possible an important reduction of computational cost.

Title of program: ROTAR
Catalogue Id: ABHI_v1_0

Nature of problem
Given a certain coordinate system and the Eulerian angles, the program provides the rotation matrices needed for transforming real normalized spherical harmonics defined in the first system to those of the second one.
