Fix bug related to numerical instabilities on third order kernels
kernel_iij
, wherei, j in {x, y, z}
. Make use of the alternative definition of the kernels. These two different definition are not mathematically equal, but their difference depends solely on two of the three coordinates, therefore when evaluating the kernels on the prism boundaries that extra term gets cancelled out. This property makes these two different definitions equivalent in the purpose of forward modelling prism fields. Add tests that catch the bug and ensure that the new implementation works as expected. Update the docstrings.Relevant issues/PRs:
