This chapter hopes to increase the adoption of this framework by giving it a more intuitive conceptual description, as well as providing practical advice for its numeric implementation. Example applications are described, with an emphasis on decomposing the third-order gradient of a diffusion tensor field.}, identifier = {05645869}, }
