zhangfunction

         calculate and return the value of the defined ancillary
         functions  to obtain the autocovariance function in the
         nonparalyzable dead time case, for the article of Zhang et
         al., "Dead-time modifications to fast Fourier transform
         power spectra", The Astrophysical Journal, 449:930-935, 1995

         k       : autocovariance function index, k = 0,.....nbin-1
         nind    : summation index, n = 1,....infinite
         deadt   : length of deadtime
         incrate : mean incident event rate of lightcurve
         bt    : bintime of lightcurve
