Band representations of the double Layer Space Groups

Band Representations of Layer Groups
This program calculates the band representations (BR) induced from the irreps of the site-symmetry group of a given Wyckoff position in a double Layer Space Group with and without time-reversal symmetry.
Alternatively, it gives the set of elementary BRs of the group.
The program also indicates if the elementary BRs are decomposable or indecomposable. If it is decomposable, the program gives all the possible ways to decompose it.
