discrepancy between weighted spherical point sets or a spherical density

Syntax

d = discrepancy(v,w,'metric','D_2')
[d,info] = discrepancy(v,w,'metric','D_cap','numCenters',4097)
d = discrepancy(v,w,'metric','L2','bandwidth',32)
d = discrepancy(v,w,'weights',c,'weights2',d,'metric','D_2')
d = discrepancy(v,f,'weights',c,'metric','D_2')

Point weights are nonnegative and normalized independently to mass one. A point set paired with a function is scaled to the function's integral, and keeps mass one if that integral vanishes. Antipodal points split mass equally between both signs. D_2 is the standard root cap L2 discrepancy, evaluated without truncating point measures and counting a difference in total mass. L2 is the root bandlimited norm. Use 'squared' for their squares. D_cap is a finite cap-search approximation; info.isExact is false. 'kernel' is the historical squared truncated optimization objective and takes two functions of equal integral only. See S2Fun/discrepancy for all options and normalization conventions.
