The metabigyrate rhombicosidodecahedron is a convex equilateral solid obtained by rotating two of the pentagonal cupolas of a small rhombicosidodecahedron located in the ...

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

The parabolic cylinder differential equation is the second-order ordinary differential equation y^('')+(nu+1/2-1/4z^2)y=0 (1) whose solution is given by ...

A system of curvilinear coordinates. There are several different conventions for the orientation and designation of these coordinates. Arfken (1970) defines coordinates ...
