  TSAlphaSetRadius - sets the desired spectral radius of the method
                     (i.e. high-frequency numerical damping)

  Logically Collective on TS

  The algorithmic parameters \alpha_m and \alpha_f of the
  generalized-\alpha method can be computed in terms of a specified
  spectral radius \rho in [0,1] for infinite time step in order to
  control high-frequency numerical damping:
    \alpha_m = 0.5*(3-\rho)/(1+\rho)
    \alpha_f = 1/(1+\rho)

  Input Parameter:
+  ts - timestepping context
-  radius - the desired spectral radius

  Options Database:
.  -ts_alpha_radius <radius>

  Level: intermediate

  Second-order accuracy can be obtained so long as:
    \gamma = 0.5 + alpha_m - alpha_f

  Unconditional stability requires:
    \alpha_m >= \alpha_f >= 0.5

  Backward Euler method is recovered with:
    \alpha_m = \alpha_f = gamma = 1

  Input Parameter:
+  ts - timestepping context
.  \alpha_m - algorithmic paramenter
.  \alpha_f - algorithmic paramenter
-  \gamma   - algorithmic paramenter

   Options Database:
+  -ts_alpha_alpha_m <alpha_m>
.  -ts_alpha_alpha_f <alpha_f>
-  -ts_alpha_gamma   <gamma>

  Note:
  Use of this function is normally only required to hack TSALPHA to
  use a modified integration scheme. Users should call
  TSAlphaSetRadius() to set the desired spectral radius of the methods
  (i.e. high-frequency damping) in order so select optimal values for
  these parameters.
