Spherical Harmonic Decomposition on a Cubic Grid
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method is described by which a function defined on a cubic grid (as from a finite difference solution of a partial differential equation) can be resolved into spherical harmonic components at some fixed radius. This has applications to the treatment of boundary conditions imposed at radii larger than the size of the grid, following Abrahams, Rezzola, Rupright et al. [1]. In the method described here, the interpolation of the grid data to the integration 2-sphere is combined in the same step as the integrations to extract the spherical harmonic amplitudes, which become sums over grid points. Coordinates adapted to the integration sphere are not needed.

Boundary conditions in linearized harmonic gravity
We investigate the initial-boundary value problem for linearized gravitational theory in harmonic coordinates. Rigorous techniques for hyperbolic systems are applied to establish well-posedness for various reductions of the system into a set of six wave equations. The results are used to formulate computational algorithms for Cauchy evolution in a 3-dimensional bounded domain. Numerical codes b...
متن کاملSpherical Harmonic Amplitudes From Grid Data
The problem of resolving spherical harmonic components from numerical data defined on a rectangular grid has many applications, particularly for the problem of gravitational radiation extraction. A novel method due to Misner improves on traditional techniques by avoiding the need to cover the sphere with a coordinate system appropriate to the grid geometry. This paper will discuss Misner’s meth...
متن کاملPlatonic polyhedra tune the 3 - sphere : II . Harmonic analysis on cubic spherical 3 - manifolds
From the homotopy groups of two cubic spherical 3-manifolds we construct the iso-morphic groups of deck transformations acting on the 3-sphere. These groups become the cyclic group of order eight and the quaternion group respectively. By reduction of representations from the orthogonal group to the identity representation of these subgroups we provide two subgroup-periodic bases for the harmoni...

We view a spherical topological 3-manifold M, see [11] and [13], as a prototile on its cover M̃ = S. We studied in [7] the isometric actions of O(4, R) on the 3sphere S and gave its basis as well-known homogeneous Wigner polynomials in [5] eq.(37). An algorithm due to Everitt in [3] generates the homotopies for all spherical 3-manifolds M from five Platonic polyhedra. Using intermediate Coxeter ...
متن کاملOn Edge-Decomposition of Cubic Graphs into Copies of the Double-Star with Four Edges
A tree containing exactly two non-pendant vertices is called a double-star. Let $k_1$ and $k_2$ be two positive integers. The double-star with degree sequence $(k_1+1, k_2+1, 1, ldots, 1)$ is denoted by $S_{k_1, k_2}$. It is known that a cubic graph has an $S_{1,1}$-decomposition if and only if it contains a perfect matching. In this paper, we study the $S_{1,2}$-decomposit...
