A system of curvilinear coordinates in which two sets of coordinate surfaces are obtained by revolving the curves of the elliptic cylindrical coordinates about the x-axis, ...

Cylindrical coordinates are a generalization of two-dimensional polar coordinates to three dimensions by superposing a height (z) axis. Unfortunately, there are a number of ...

The Laplacian for a scalar function phi is a scalar differential operator defined by (1) where the h_i are the scale factors of the coordinate system (Weinberg 1972, p. 109; ...

The Legendre differential equation is the second-order ordinary differential equation (1-x^2)(d^2y)/(dx^2)-2x(dy)/(dx)+l(l+1)y=0, (1) which can be rewritten ...

The coordinate system obtained by inversion of Cartesian coordinates, with u,v,w in (-infty,infty). The transformation equations are x = u/(u^2+v^2+w^2) (1) y = ...

The associated Legendre differential equation is a generalization of the Legendre differential equation given by d/(dx)[(1-x^2)(dy)/(dx)]+[l(l+1)-(m^2)/(1-x^2)]y=0, (1) which ...

A coordinate system which is similar to bispherical coordinates but having fourth-degree surfaces instead of second-degree surfaces for constant mu. The coordinates are given ...
