A spherical ring is a sphere with a cylindrical hole cut so that the centers of the cylinder and sphere coincide, also called a napkin ring. Let the sphere have radius R and ...

Let a spherical triangle be drawn on the surface of a sphere of radius R, centered at a point O=(0,0,0), with vertices A, B, and C. The vectors from the center of the sphere ...

The spherical distance between two points P and Q on a sphere is the distance of the shortest path along the surface of the sphere (paths that cut through the interior of the ...

A sliver of the surface of a sphere of radius r cut out by two planes through the azimuthal axis with dihedral angle theta. The surface area of the lune is S=2r^2theta, which ...

The only irreducible spherical simplexes generated by reflection are A_n (n>=1), B_n (n>=4), C_n (n>=2), D_2^p (p>=5), E_6, E_7, E_8, F_4, G_3, and G_4. The only irreducible ...

How can n points be distributed on a unit sphere such that they maximize the minimum distance between any pair of points? This maximum distance is called the covering radius, ...

Spherical coordinates, also called spherical polar coordinates (Walton 1967, Arfken 1985), are a system of curvilinear coordinates that are natural for describing positions ...

A fixed point for which the stability matrix has eigenvalues of the form lambda_+/-=-alpha+/-ibeta (with alpha,beta>0).

A fixed point for which the stability matrix has eigenvalues of the form lambda_+/-=alpha+/-ibeta (with alpha,beta>0).

A solution to the spherical Bessel differential equation. The two types of solutions are denoted j_n(x) (spherical Bessel function of the first kind) or n_n(x) (spherical ...
