چکیده

Let q ≥ 1 be an integer, Sq be the unit sphere embedded in Rq+1, and μq be the volume element of Sq. For x0 ∈ Sq, and α ∈ (0, π), let Sα(x0) denote the cap {ξ ∈ Sq : x0 · ξ ≥ cosα}. We prove that for any integer m ≥ 1, there exists a positive constant c = c(q,m), independent of α, with the following property. Given an arbitrary set C of points in Sα(x0), satisftying the mesh norm condition max ξ∈Sα(x0) min ζ∈C dist (ξ, ζ) ≤ cα, there exist nonnegative weights wξ, ξ ∈ C, such that ∫ Sα(x0) P (ζ)dμq(ζ) = ∑ ξ∈C wξP (ξ) for every spherical polynomial P of degree at most m. Similar quadrature formulas are also proved for spherical bands.

Local numerical integration on the sphere

Many applications in geomathematics as well as bio–medical applications require the analysis of an unknown target function of a large amount of data, which can be modeled as data on a subset of the surface of a sphere. An important ingredient of this analysis is to develop numerical integration schemes (quadrature formulas) to integrate spherical polynomials of as high a degree as possible exac...

Numerical Cubature from Archimedes' Hat-box Theorem

Archimedes’ hat-box theorem states that uniform measure on a sphere projects to uniform measure on an interval. This fact can be used to derive Simpson’s rule. We present various constructions of, and lower bounds for, numerical cubature formulas using moment maps as a generalization of Archimedes’ theorem. We realize some well-known cubature formulas on simplices as projections of spherical de...

On spherical harmonics based numerical quadrature over the surface of a sphere

It has been suggested in the literature that different quasi-uniform node sets on a sphere lead to quadrature formulas of highly variable quality. We analyze here the nature of these variations, and describe an easy-to-implement leastsquares remedy for previously problematic cases. Quadrature accuracies are then compared for different node sets ranging from fully random to those based on Gaussi...

Thermo-elastic analysis of a functionally graded thick sphere by differential quadrature method

Thermo-elastic analysis of a functionally graded hollow sphere is carried out and numerical solutions of displacement, stress and thermal fields are obtained using the Polynomial differential quadrature (PDQ) method. Material properties are assumed to be graded in the radial direction according to a power law function, ho...

Numerical quadrature over the surface of a sphere

Large-scale simulations in spherical geometries require associated quadrature formulas. Classical approaches based on tabulated weights are limited to specific quasi-uniform distributions of relatively low numbers of nodes. By using a radial basis function-generated finite differences (RBF-FD) based approach, the proposed algorithm creates quadrature weights for N arbitrarily scattered nodes in...
