PBSPLINE - Periodized B-spline

Program code:

function [g,nlen] = pbspline(L,order,a,varargin)
%PBSPLINE   Periodized B-spline
%   Usage:   g=pbspline(L,order,a,...);
%            [g,nlen]=pbspline(L,order,a,...);
%
%   Input parameters:
%         L      : Length of window.
%         order  : Order of B-spline.
%         a      : Time-shift parameter for partition of unity.
%   Output parameters:
%         g      : Fractional B-spline.
%         nlen   : Number of non-zero elements in out.
%
%   PBSPLINE(L,order,a) computes a (slightly modified) B-spline of order
%   order of total length L.
%
%   If shifted by the distance a, the returned function will form a
%   partition of unity. The result is normalized such that the functions sum
%   to 1/sqrt(a).
%
%   PBSPLINE takes the following flags at the end of the input arguments:
%
%     'ed'     Even discrete fractional spline. This is the default
%
%     'xd'     'flat' discrete fractional spline.
%
%     'stard'  'pointy' discrete fractional spline
%
%     'ec'     Even fractional spline by sampling.
%
%     'xc'     'flat' fractional spline by sampling.
%
%     'starc'  'pointy' fractional spline by sampling.
%
%     'wp'     Generate whole point centered splines. This is the default.
%
%     'hp'     Generate half point centered splines.
%
%   The different types are accurately described in the referenced paper.
%   Generally, the 'd' types of splines are very fast to compute, while
%   the 'c' types are samplings of the continuous splines. The 'e' types
%   coincides with the regular B-splines for integer orders. The 'x' types
%   do not coincide, but generate Gabor frames with favorable frame
%   bounds. The default type is 'ed' to guarantee fast computation and a
%   familiar shape of the splines.
%
%   [out,nlen]=PBSPLINE(...) will additionally compute the number of
%   non-zero elements in out.
%
%   If nlen = L, the function returned will be a periodization of a
%   B-spline.
%
%   If nlen < L, you can choose to remove the additional zeros by calling
%   g=middlepad(g,nlen).
%
%   Additionally, PBSPLINE accepts flags to normalize the output. Please
%   see the help of SETNORM. Default is to use 'peak' normalization.
