Two types of cartesian coordinates? (*** Formatting Fixed ***)

I believe x and y are known as the "parametric equation of ellipse", but what about x' and y'? I don’t know what the formal name is, but basically x' and y' define the “parametric equation of the ellipse surface” or, extending it to three axes——X', Y', Z'——by adding a longitude, the “parametric equation of the ellipsoid surface”. Where λ is the geographical/geodetic longitude; a_x, a_y are the equatorial radii of their respective axis: a(λ) = ((a*cos(λ))^2 + (a*sin(λ))^2)^.5; a_m = b΄ = (a_x*a_y)^.5; and b_x = a_x΄ = b*(a_y/a_x)^.5 = b*a_y/a_m; b_y = a_y΄ = b*(a_x/a_y)^.5 = b*a_x/a_m; b(λ) = a΄(λ)=((b_x*cos(λ))^2 + (b_y*sin(λ))^2)^.5; then X = a_x * cos(β) * cos(λ); Y = a_y * cos(β) * sin(λ); x(λ) = (X^2 + Y^2)^.5 = a(λ) * cos(β); y = Z = b * sin(β); R(β) = (x(λ)^2 + y^2)^.5 = (X^2 + Y^2 + Z^2)^.5; and X΄ = b_x * cos(β) * cos(λ); Y΄ = b_y * cos(β) * sin(λ); x΄(λ) = (X΄^2 + Y΄2)^.5 = b(λ) * cos(β); y΄ = Z΄ = a_m * sin(β); S(β) = R΄(β) = (x΄(λ)^2 + y΄^2)^.5, = (X΄^2 + Y΄^2 + Z΄^2)^.5; Thus, for an ellipse (and non-scalene spheroid), these reduce to x = a * cos(β); y = b * sin(β); R(β) = S(90-β) = (x^2 + y^2)^.5, = ((a * cos(β))^2 +(b * sin(β))^2)^.5; and x΄ = b * cos(β); y΄= a * sin(β); S(β) = R(90-β) = (x΄^2 + y΄^2)^.5, = ((a * sin(β))^2 +(b * cos(β))^2)^.5; So what does this all mean? Well, in terms of the surface parameters, rather than derivatives of β’s trig functions, x΄ and y΄ are fundamentally based on radii complements, as the triaxial case demonstrates. In terms of uses, R(β) is the integrand for the well known elliptic integral of the second kind, and S(β) is the auxiliary integrand for meridional distance, DxM, as well as (authalic) surface area: Where φ is the geographical/geodetic latitude and M is the (conjugate) meridional radius of curvature, M(φ) = (a*b)^2/R(φ)^3, = (a*b)^2/((a * cos(φ))^2 +(b * sin(φ))^2)^1.5; __ β_f __ φ_f / / DxM = / S(β)dβ = / M(φ)dφ; __/ __/ β_s φ_s and __ β_f Surface / Area = Δλ a / cos(β)*S(β)dβ, __/ β_s __β_f __ λ_f / / = a_m / cos(β) / (x΄(λ)^2 + y΄^2)^.5 dλdβ __/ __/ β_s λ_s ~Kaimbridge~ ----- Wikipedia——Contributor Home Page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Kaimbridge ***** Void Where Permitted; Limit 0 Per Customer. ***** |
