The suitable basis functions for approximating periodic function are periodic, trigonometric functions. When the function is not periodic, a viable alternative is to consider polynomials as basis functions. In this paper we will point out…
We give a complete classification of Riemannian and Lorentzian surfaces of arbitrary codimension in a pseudo-sphere whose pseudo-spherical Gauss maps are of 1-type or, in particular, harmonic. In some cases a concrete global classification…
The non-orthogonality of algebraic polynomials of field coordinates traditionally used to model field-dependent corrections to astrometric measurements, gives rise to subtle adverse effects. In particular, certain field dependent…

In order to analyze the geometric quality of any surface we have defined a shape language that can be used in tolerancing and metrology softwares. Modal parameters defines a shape langage allowing to describe geometric variations…
In this work a state transformation is presented that transforms a given state-space system to a normal form related to mechanical systems. The underlying state-space system must meet certain requirements such that a transformation exist.…
Functions of one or more variables are usually approximated with a basis: a complete, linearly-independent system of functions that spans a suitable function space. The topic of this paper is the numerical approximation of functions using…
In this paper, usual Sturm-Liouville problems are extended for symmetric functions so that the corresponding solutions preserve the orthogonality property. Two basic examples, which are special cases of a generalized Sturm-Liouville…

Our main objective in this work is to show how Sobolev orthogonal polynomials emerge as a useful tool within the framework of spectral methods for boundary-value problems. The solution of a boundary-value problem for a stationary…
A parametric manifold can be viewed as the manifold of orbits of a (regular) foliation of a manifold by means of a family of curves. If the foliation is hypersurface orthogonal, the parametric manifold is equivalent to the 1-parameter…
We construct algorithms and topological invariants that allow us to distinguish the topological type of a surface, as well as functions and vector fields for their topological equivalence. In the first part we discus the main structures…

Spherical harmonics of degree 4 are widely used in volumetric frame fields design due to their ability to reproduce octahedral symmetry. In this paper we show how to use harmonics of degree 3 (octupoles) for the same purpose, thereby…
