Generalized Ellipsoidal and Sphero-Conal Harmonics

چکیده
Classical ellipsoidal and sphero-conal harmonics are polynomial solutions of the Laplace equation that can be expressed in terms of Lamé polynomials. Generalized ellipsoidal and sphero-conal harmonics are polynomial solutions of the more general Dunkl equation that can be expressed in terms of Stieltjes polynomials. Niven’s formula connecting ellipsoidal and sphero-conal harmonics is generalized. Moreover, generalized ellipsoidal harmonics are applied to solve the Dirichlet problem for Dunkl’s equation on ellipsoids.

Capacitance of Biconical Antennas in Magneto - Ionic Media ; Elliptic Cone Capacitance
Two antenna capacitance problems a re solved in this paper. The motivating problem was to determine the capacitance of a biconical antenna of circular cross section immersed in a magneto-ionic medium. This is solved by reducing it to the secondary problem of determining the capacitance of a biconical antenna of elliptic cross section in an isotropic medium. The latter is solved using the sphero...
متن کاملUsing Ellipsoidal Harmonics for 3D Shape Representation and Retrieval
A novel approach for 3D Shape description, applicable for search and retrieval applications, based on the theory of Ellipsoidal Harmonics is presented in this paper. The Ellipsoidal Harmonics are appropriately adopted in order to describe volumetric represented 3D objects. The experimental results, performed in a complete 3D object database, prove the efficiency of the proposed approach.
متن کاملNumerical study of a rotating fluid in a spheroidal container
The motion of an incompressible, viscous rotating fluid contained in a spheroidal container is studied by a direct numerical simulation in an oblate spheroidal coordinate system. An appropriate formalism is first derived which allows us to expand any scalar field in spherical harmonics and to decompose any vector field into its sphero-poloidal and sphero-toroidal scalar parts. The spinover mode...
متن کامل978 - 0 - 521 - 11309 - 0 - Ellipsoidal Harmonics : Theory and Applications
The sphere, because of its high symmetry, is what might be called a perfect shape. Unfortunately nature is imperfect and many apparently spherical bodies are better represented by an ellipsoid. Consequently in calculations about gravitational potential, for example, spherical harmonics have to be replaced by the much more complex ellipsoidal harmonics. Their theory, which was originated in the ...
متن کاملComputational science and re-discovery: open-source implementation of ellipsoidal harmonics for problems in potential theory
We present two open-source (BSD) implementations of ellipsoidal harmonic expansions for solving problems of potential theory using separation of variables. Ellipsoidal harmonics are used surprisingly infrequently, considering their substantial value for problems ranging in scale from molecules to the entire solar system. In this paper, we suggest two possible reasons for the paucity relative to...
