The Laplace-Beltrami Operator on the Surface of the Ellipsoid

Hans Volkmer

The Laplace-Beltrami operator on (the surface of) a triaxial ellipsoid admits a sequence of real eigenvalues diverging to plus infinity. By introducing ellipsoidal coordinates, thi…

Internal and external harmonics in bi-cyclide coordinates

Brandon Alexander, Howard S. Cohl, Hans Volkmer

The Laplace equation in three dimensional Euclidean space is -separable in bi-cyclide coordinates leading to harmonic functions expressed in terms of Lamé-Wangerin functions cal…

Peanut harmonic expansion for a fundamental solution of Laplace's equation in flat-ring coordinates

Lijuan Bi, Howard S. Cohl, Hans Volkmer

We derive an expansion for the fundamental solution of Laplace's equation in flat-ring cyclide coordinates in three-dimensional Euclidean space. This expansion is a double series o…

Eigenvalue Problems for Lamé's Differential Equation

Hans Volkmer

The Floquet eigenvalue problem and a generalized form of the Wangerin eigenvalue problem for Lamé's differential equation are discussed. Results include comparison theorems for eig…
