| Description: |
The purpose of geomathematics is firstly to offer an appropriate means of assimilating and assessing the ever-increasing flow of data from geoscientific and satellite sources, and secondly to provide an objective basis for the interpretation, classification and solution of problems. Sphere-oriented mathematics plays an important role in this study and is the focus of this text. The book presents new structures and methods by which sophisticated measurements andobservations can be handled efficiently, thus reducing time and costs. |
| Synopsis: |
The subject of geomathematics focuses on the interpretation and classification of data from geoscientific and satellite sources, reducing information to a comprehensible form and allowing the testing of concepts. Sphere oriented mathematics plays an important part in this study and this book provides the necessary foundation for graduate students and researchers interested in any of the diverse topics of constructive approximation in this area. This book bridges the existing gap between monographs on special functions of mathematical physics and constructive approximation in Euclidean spaces. The primary objective is to provide readers with an understanding of aspects of approximation by spherical harmonics, such as spherical splines and wavelets, as well as indicating future directions of research. Scalar, vectorial, and tensorial methods are each considered in turn. The concentration on spherical splines and wavelets allows a double simplification; not only is the number of independent variables reduced resulting in a lower dimensional problem, but also radial basis function techniques become applicable.When applied to geomathematics this leads to new structures and methods by which sophisticated measurements and observations can be handled more efficiently, thus reducing time and costs. |
