Band representations of the Double Space Groups

Band Representations
This program calculates the band representations (BR) induced from the irreps of the site-symmetry group of a given Wyckoff position.
Alternatively, it gives the set of elementary BRs of a Double Space Group.
In both cases, it can be chosen to get the BRs with or without time-reversal symmetry.
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.
