the grace mission has provided scientific community time-variable gravity field solutions with high precision and on a global scale. the grace mission was launched on march 2003. this mission consists of two satellites that pursue each other in their orbit. distance between two satellites in orbit is measured continuously to an accuracy of better than 1 micron using kbr system placed in satelli...

Abstract In this paper we introduce a new family Ā(α, β, γ) of harmonic univalent functions with negative coefficients using fractional calculus operator Ωλwhich contains various well known classes of harmonic univalent functions as well as many new ones. We obtain coefficient estimate, distortion theorem and various other properties for functions belonging to the class Ā(α, β, γ) in the unit d...

This paper presents a warm bore ferromagnetic shimming design for a high resolution NMR magnet based on spherical harmonic coefficient reduction techniques. The passive ferromagnetic shimming along with the active shimming is a critically important step to improve magnetic field homogeneity for an NMR Magnet. Here, the technique is applied to an NMR magnet already designed and built at the MIT'...

We report on recent results obtained for the massive Wilson coefficients which contribute to the structure function F 2 (x, Q 2) at O(α 3 s) in the region Q 2 /m 2 > ∼ 10. In the calculation new species of harmonic sums and harmonic polylogarithms generated by cyclotomic polynomials arise in intermediary results which are briefly discussed.

In this paper we study special systems of orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle. More precisely, with a view to the recurrence relations fulfilled by these orthogonal systems, we analyze a link of non-negative arithmetic to harmonic sequences as a main subject. Here, arithmetic sequences appear as coefficients of orthogonal polynomials and harmonic sequences as corresponding Szegő parameters.

The reference systems defined by the SAO and Hipparcos catalogues are compared using vector spherical harmonic analysis. The differences between astrometric data in both catalogues have been grouped into different data sets and separate harmonic analysis performed on them. The Fourier coefficients yield estimates of systematic errors in SAO catalogue.

A review is given of the geodetic concepts necessary for oceanographers to make use of satellite gravity data to define the geoid, and to interpret the resulting product. The geoid is defined, with particular attention to subtleties related to the representation of the permanent tide, and the way in which the geoid is represented in ocean models. 5 The usual spherical harmonic description of th...

Abstract We present a new, model-independent approach for measuring non-Gaussianity of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy pattern. Our approach is based on the empirical distribution function of the normalized spherical harmonic expansion coefficients alm of a nearly full-sky CMB map, like the ones expected from forthcoming satellite experiments. Using a set of Kolmogorov-Smirnov ...

Harmonic weak Maass forms of half-integral weight are the subject of many recent works. They are closely related to Ramanujan’s mock theta functions, their theta lifts give rise to Arakelov Green functions, and their coefficients are often related to central values and derivatives of Hecke L-functions. We present an algorithm to compute harmonic weak Maass forms numerically, based on the automo...
