A harmonic series is a continued fraction-like series [n;a,b,c,...] defined by x=n+1/2(a+1/3(b+1/4(c+...))) (Havil 2003, p. 99). Examples are given in the following table. c ...

For all integers n and nonnegative integers t, the harmonic logarithms lambda_n^((t))(x) of order t and degree n are defined as the unique functions satisfying 1. ...

A triple (a,b,c) of positive integers satisfying a<b<c is said to be harmonic if 1/a+1/c=2/b. In particular, such a triple is harmonic if the reciprocals of its terms form an ...

A partial differential diffusion equation of the form (partialU)/(partialt)=kappadel ^2U. (1) Physically, the equation commonly arises in situations where kappa is the ...

To solve the heat conduction equation on a two-dimensional disk of radius a=1, try to separate the equation using U(r,theta,t)=R(r)Theta(theta)T(t). (1) Writing the theta and ...

In two-dimensional Cartesian coordinates, attempt separation of variables by writing F(x,y)=X(x)Y(y), (1) then the Helmholtz differential equation becomes ...

As shown by Morse and Feshbach (1953), the Helmholtz differential equation is separable in confocal paraboloidal coordinates.

In conical coordinates, Laplace's equation can be written ...

In elliptic cylindrical coordinates, the scale factors are h_u=h_v=sqrt(sinh^2u+sin^2v), h_z=1, and the separation functions are f_1(u)=f_2(v)=f_3(z)=1, giving a Stäckel ...

As shown by Morse and Feshbach (1953) and Arfken (1970), the Helmholtz differential equation is separable in oblate spheroidal coordinates.
