//   MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline
//
//   Fast Spline extractor using a cubic spline algorithm, adapted from 
//   Numerical Recipes in C++, 2nd edition, pp. 116-119.
//   
//   The coefficients "ya" are here denoted as "fHiGainSignal" and "fLoGainSignal"
//   which means the FADC value subtracted by the clock-noise corrected pedestal.
//
//   The coefficients "y2a" get immediately divided 6. and are called here 
//   "fHiGainSecondDeriv" and "fLoGainSecondDeriv" although they are now not exactly 
//   the second derivative coefficients any more. 
// 
//   The calculation of the cubic-spline interpolated value "y" on a point 
//   "x" along the FADC-slices axis becomes:
// 
//   y =    a*fHiGainSignal[klo] + b*fHiGainSignal[khi] 
//       + (a*a*a-a)*fHiGainSecondDeriv[klo] + (b*b*b-b)*fHiGainSecondDeriv[khi]
//
//   with:
//   a = (khi - x)
//   b = (x - klo)
//
//   and "klo" being the lower bin edge FADC index and "khi" the upper bin edge FADC index.
//   fHiGainSignal[klo] and fHiGainSignal[khi] are the FADC values at "klo" and "khi".
//
//   An analogues formula is used for the low-gain values.
//
//   The coefficients fHiGainSecondDeriv and fLoGainSecondDeriv are calculated with the 
//   following simplified algorithm:
//
//   for (Int_t i=1;i<range-1;i++) {
//       pp                   = fHiGainSecondDeriv[i-1] + 4.;
//       fHiGainFirstDeriv[i] = fHiGainSignal[i+1] - 2.*fHiGainSignal[i] + fHiGainSignal[i-1]
//       fHiGainFirstDeriv[i] = (6.0*fHiGainFirstDeriv[i]-fHiGainFirstDeriv[i-1])/pp;
//   }
// 
//   for (Int_t k=range-2;k>=0;k--)
//       fHiGainSecondDeriv[k] = (fHiGainSecondDeriv[k]*fHiGainSecondDeriv[k+1] + fHiGainFirstDeriv[k])/6.;
// 
//
//   This algorithm takes advantage of the fact that the x-values are all separated by exactly 1
//   which simplifies the Numerical Recipes algorithm.
//   (Note that the variables "fHiGainFirstDeriv" are not real first derivative coefficients.)
//
//
//   The algorithm to search the time proceeds as follows:
//
//   1) Calculate all fHiGainSignal from fHiGainFirst to fHiGainLast 
//      (note that an "overlap" to the low-gain arrays is possible: i.e. fHiGainLast>14 in the case of 
//      the MAGIC FADCs).
//   2) Remember the position of the slice with the highest content "fAbMax" at "fAbMaxPos".
//   3) If one or more slices are saturated or fAbMaxPos is less than 2 slices from fHiGainFirst, 
//      return fAbMaxPos as time and fAbMax as charge (note that the pedestal is subtracted here).
//   4) Calculate all fHiGainSecondDeriv from the fHiGainSignal array
//   5) Search for the maximum, starting in interval fAbMaxPos-1 in steps of 0.2 till fAbMaxPos-0.2.
//      If no maximum is found, go to interval fAbMaxPos+1. 
//      --> 4 function evaluations
//   6) Search for the absolute maximum from fAbMaxPos to fAbMaxPos+1 in steps of 0.2 
//      --> 4 function  evaluations
//   7) Try a better precision searching from new max. position fAbMaxPos-0.2 to fAbMaxPos+0.2
//      in steps of 0.025 (83 psec. in the case of the MAGIC FADCs).
//      --> 14 function evaluations
//   8) If Time Extraction Type kMaximum has been chosen, the position of the found maximum is 
//      returned, else:
//   9) The Half Maximum is calculated. 
//  10) fHiGainSignal is called beginning from fAbMaxPos-1 backwards until a value smaller than fHalfMax
//      is found at "klo". 
//  11) Then, the spline value between "klo" and "klo"+1 is halfed by means of bisection as long as 
//      the difference between fHalfMax and spline evaluation is less than fResolution (default: 0.01).
//      --> maximum 12 interations.
//   
//  The algorithm to search the charge proceeds as follows:
//
//  1) If Charge Type: kAmplitude was chosen, return the Maximum of the spline, found during the 
//     time search.
//  2) If Charge Type: kIntegral was chosen, sum the fHiGainSignal between:
//     (Int_t)(fAbMaxPos - fRiseTime) and 
//     (Int_t)(fAbMaxPos + fFallTime)
//     (default: fRiseTime: 1.5, fFallTime: 4.5)
//  3) Sum only half the values of the edge slices
//  4) Sum 1.5*fHiGainSecondDeriv of the not-edge slices using the "natural cubic 
//     spline with second derivatives set to 0. at the edges.
//     (Remember that fHiGainSecondDeriv had been divided by 6.)
//   
//  The values: fNumHiGainSamples and fNumLoGainSamples are set to:
//  1) If Charge Type: kAmplitude was chosen: 1.
//  2) If Charge Type: kIntegral was chosen: TMath::Floor(fRiseTime + fFallTime)
//                 or: TMath::Floor(fRiseTime + fFallTime + 1.) in the case of the low-gain
//
//  Call: SetRange(fHiGainFirst, fHiGainLast, fLoGainFirst, fLoGainLast) 
//        to modify the ranges.
// 
//        Defaults: 
//        fHiGainFirst =  2 
//        fHiGainLast  =  14
//        fLoGainFirst =  2 
//        fLoGainLast  =  14
//
//  Call: SetResolution() to define the resolution of the half-maximum search.
//        Default: 0.01
//
//  Call: SetRiseTime() and SetFallTime() to define the integration ranges 
//        for the case, the extraction type kIntegral has been chosen.
//
//  Call: - SetTimeType(MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline::kMaximum) for extraction 
//          the position of the maximum (default)
//          --> needs 22 function evaluations
//        - SetTimeType(MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline::kHalfMaximum) for extraction 
//          the position of the half maximum at the rising edge.
//          --> needs max. 34 function evaluations
//        - SetChargeType(MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline::kAmplitude) for the 
//          computation of the amplitude at the maximum (default)
//          --> no further function evaluation needed
//        - SetChargeType(MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline::kIntegral) for the 
//          computation of the integral beneith the spline between fRiseTime 
//          from the position of the maximum to fFallTime after the position of 
//          the maximum. The Low Gain is computed with one more slice at the falling
//          edge.
//          --> needs one more simple summation loop over 7 slices.
