36  *
37  * Lee gives the correct results for forward and reverse transformations
38  * subject to the branch cut rules (see the description of the \e extendp
39  * argument to the constructor). The maximum error is about 8 nm (8
40  * nanometers), ground distance, for the forward and reverse transformations.
41  * The error in the convergence is 2 &times; 10<sup>&minus;15</sup>&quot;,
42  * the relative error in the scale is 7 &times; 10<sup>&minus;12</sup>%%.
43  * See Sec. 3 of
44  * <a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1002.1417">arXiv:1002.1417</a> for details.
45  * The method is "exact" in the sense that the errors are close to the
46  * round-off limit and that no changes are needed in the algorithms for them
47  * to be used with reals of a higher precision. Thus the errors using long
48  * double (with a 64-bit fraction) are about 2000 times smaller than using
49  * double (with a 53-bit fraction).
50  *
51  * This algorithm is about 4.5 times slower than the 6th-order Kr&uuml;ger
52  * method, TransverseMercator, taking about 11 us for a combined forward and
53  * reverse projection on a 2.66 GHz Intel machine (g++, version 4.3.0, -O3).
54  *
55  * The ellipsoid parameters and the central scale are set in the constructor.
56  * The central meridian (which is a trivial shift of the longitude) is
57  * specified as the \e lon0 argument of the TransverseMercatorExact::Forward
58  * and TransverseMercatorExact::Reverse functions. The latitude of origin is
59  * taken to be the equator. See the documentation on TransverseMercator for
60  * how to include a false easting, false northing, or a latitude of origin.
61  *
62  * See <a href="http://geographiclib.sourceforge.net/tm-grid.kmz"
63  * type="application/vnd.google-earth.kmz"> tm-grid.kmz</a>, for an
64  * illustration of the transverse Mercator grid in Google Earth.
65  *
66  * See TransverseMercatorExact.cpp for more information on the
67  * implementation.

140  * The transverse Mercator projection has a branch point singularity at \e
141  * lat = 0 and \e lon &minus; \e lon0 = 90 (1 &minus; \e e) or (for
142  * TransverseMercatorExact::UTM) x = 18381 km, y = 0m. The \e extendp
143  * argument governs where the branch cut is placed. With \e extendp =
144  * false, the "standard" convention is followed, namely the cut is placed
145  * along \e x > 18381 km, \e y = 0m. Forward can be called with any \e lat
146  * and \e lon then produces the transformation shown in Lee, Fig 46.
147  * Reverse analytically continues this in the &plusmn; \e x direction. As
148  * a consequence, Reverse may map multiple points to the same geographic
149  * location; for example, for TransverseMercatorExact::UTM, \e x =
150  * 22051449.037349 m, \e y = &minus;7131237.022729 m and \e x =
151  * 29735142.378357 m, \e y = 4235043.607933 m both map to \e lat =
152  * &minus;2&deg;, \e lon = 88&deg;.
153  *
154  * With \e extendp = true, the branch cut is moved to the lower left
155  * quadrant. The various symmetries of the transverse Mercator projection
156  * can be used to explore the projection on any sheet. In this mode the
157  * domains of \e lat, \e lon, \e x, and \e y are restricted to
158  * - the union of
159  * - \e lat in [0, 90] and \e lon &minus; \e lon0 in [0, 90]
160  * - \e lat in (-90, 0] and \e lon &minus; \e lon0 in [90 (1 &minus; \e
161  e), 90]
162  * - the union of
163  * - <i>x</i>/(\e k0 \e a) in [0, &infin;) and
164  * <i>y</i>/(\e k0 \e a) in [0, E(<i>e</i><sup>2</sup>)]
165  * - <i>x</i>/(\e k0 \e a) in [K(1 &minus; <i>e</i><sup>2</sup>) &minus;
166  * E(1 &minus; <i>e</i><sup>2</sup>), &infin;) and <i>y</i>/(\e k0 \e
167  * a) in (&minus;&infin;, 0]
168  * .
169  * See Sec. 5 of
170  * <a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1002.1417">arXiv:1002.1417</a> for a full
171  * discussion of the treatment of the branch cut.
172  *
173  * The method will work for all ellipsoids used in terrestrial geodesy.
174  * The method cannot be applied directly to the case of a sphere (\e f = 0)
175  * because some the constants characterizing this method diverge in that
176  * limit, and in practice, \e f should be larger than about
177  * numeric_limits<real>::epsilon(). However, TransverseMercator treats the
178  * sphere exactly.
