/// \file bls.cpp
///
/// \brief fidelity test
/// 
/// This is a test to see how much a signal degrades when it is submitted
/// to a sequence of operations:
///
/// - create a periodic b-spline over the signal
/// - evaluate the spline at unit-spaced locations with an arbitrary offset
/// - yielding a shifted signal, for which the process is repeated
///
/// Finally, a last shift is performed which samples the penultimate version
/// of the signal at points coinciding with coordinates 0...N-1 of the
/// original signal. This last iteration should ideally recreate the
/// original sequence, and you'll see a cumulated offset of zero for this
/// last iteration.
///
/// The test is done with a periodic signal to avoid margin effects.
/// The initial sequence is created by performing an IFFT on random
/// data up to a given cutoff frequency, producing a band-limited signal.
/// Alternatively, by modifying the initial values which are put into
/// the frequency-domain representation of the test signal, more specific
/// scenarios can be investigated (try setting the values to 1 uniformly etc)
/// With the cutoff factor approaching 1.0, the signal contains more and
/// higher high frequencies, making it ever more difficult for the spline
/// to represent the data faithfully. With a cutoff of <= .5, fidelity is
/// very high for high-degree b-splines; even after many iterations
/// the spline is nearly unchanged and faithfully represents the
/// original signal.
///
/// There are two factors to observe: high-degree splines cope better with
/// high frequency components, but they suffer from the large magnitude of
/// coefficient values, making the evaluation error larger - especially since
/// high-degree splines have wide support.
///
/// An important conclusion is that even though all input signals produced
/// with this test are band-limited by design, this quality is not sufficient
/// to produce a b-spline from them which is 'stable' in the sense of being
/// immune to the multiple shifting operation, unless the signal is free from
/// frequencies above *half the Nyquist frequency*.
///
/// If the input contains high frequencies, and yet a faithful b-spline
/// representation has to be provided which is immune to shifting, one
/// solution is to create a high-degree spline over the signal, sample it
/// at half unit steps and use the resulting signal to create the 'working'
/// spline. By creating the high-order 'super-spline', a signal is created
/// which is low in high-frequency content and can be faithfully represented
/// by the working spline. The upsampling can also be done in any other
/// way, like FFT/IFFT. See n_shift.cc for an implementation of upsampling
/// using a high-degree b-spline as 'super-spline'.
///
/// An aside: this program shows that we can easily shift and resample a
/// high-degree periodic spline for thousands of times without much signal
/// degradation, which is quite remarkable, but requires the signal to be
/// band-limited to *half the Nyquist frequency*. But if we look at the
/// fourier transformation of each of the shifted variants of the signal,
/// we don't - as we might expect - get precisely the same magnitudes for
/// the partial frequencies. I'm not quite sure what to make of this.
///
/// note that this example requires fftw3.
///
/// compile with: clang++ -O3 -std=c++11 -obls bls.cpp \
///                       -pthread -lvigraimpex -lfftw3
///
/// to use highway, add -DUSE_HWY and -lhwy
/// to use Vc, add -DUSE_VC and -lVc
/// to use std::simd, use -DUSE_STDSIMD and --std=c++17
// TODO: comes out wrong with clang++ and std::simd on my debian11 system
///
/// invoke with: bls <spline degree> <number of iterations> \
///                 [ <frequency cutoff> ]
///
/// Try different spline degrees and cutoff frequencies. With cutoff
/// frequencies of 0.5 or less you'll notice that even with relatively
/// low spline degree, the 'immunity' to resampling is quite good: even
/// with thousands of iterations, the original signal can be regained
/// with minimal error. Raising the spline degree, the cutoff frequency
/// can even be raised above 0.5 and the spline remains quite 'immune'.
