GLESP is a new pixelization scheme for the cosmic microwave
background (CMB) radiation maps. This scheme is based on the
Gauss-Legendre polynomials zeros and allows one to create strict
orthogonal expansion of the map. The detail for the GLESP idea can be
seen in

Pixelization
(GLESP) scheme for CMB maps",
