Expansions for a fundamental solution of Laplace's equation on ${\mathbb R^3}$ in 5-cyclidic harmonics

We derive eigenfunction expansions for a fundamental solution of Laplace's equation in three-dimensional Euclidean space in 5-cyclidic coordinates. There are three such expansions in terms of internal and external 5-cyclidic harmonics of first, second and third kind. The internal and external 5-cyclidic harmonics are expressed by solutions of a Fuchsian differential equation with five regular singular points.

Generalizations of generating functions for hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials with definite integrals

We generalize generating functions for hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials, namely Jacobi, Gegenbauer, Laguerre, and Wilson polynomials. These generalizations of generating functions are accomplished through series rearrangement using connection relations with one free parameter for these orthogonal polynomials. We also use orthogonality relations to determine corresponding definite integrals.

Separation of variables in an asymmetric cyclidic coordinate system

A global analysis is presented of solutions for Laplace's equation on three-dimensional Euclidean space in one of the most general orthogonal asymmetric confocal cyclidic coordinate systems which admit solutions through separation of variables. We refer to this coordinate system as five-cyclide coordinates since the coordinate surfaces are given by two cyclides of genus zero which represent the inversion at the unit sphere of each other, a cyclide of genus one, and two disconnected cyclides of genus zero. This coordinate system is obtained by stereographic projection of sphero-conal coordinates on four-dimensional Euclidean space. The harmonics in this coordinate system are given by products of solutions of second-order Fuchsian ordinary differential equations with five elementary singularities. The Dirichlet problem for the global harmonics in this coordinate system is solved using multiparameter spectral theory in the regions bounded by the asymmetric confocal cyclidic coordinate surfaces.

Eigenfunction expansions for a fundamental solution of Laplace's equation on $\R^3$ in parabolic and elliptic cylinder coordinates

A fundamental solution of Laplace's equation in three dimensions is expanded in harmonic functions that are separated in parabolic or elliptic cylinder coordinates. There are two expansions in each case which reduce to expansions of the Bessel functions $J_0(kr)$ or $K_0(kr)$, $r^2=(x-x_0)^2+(y-y_0)^2$, in parabolic and elliptic cylinder harmonics. Advantage is taken of the fact that $K_0(kr)$ is a fundamental solution and $J_0(kr)$ is the Riemann function of partial differential equations on the Euclidean plane.

External Ellipsoidal Harmonics for the Dunkl-Laplacian

The paper introduces external ellipsoidal and external sphero-conal $h$-harmonics for the Dunkl-Laplacian. These external $h$-harmonics admit integral representations, and they are connected by a formula of Niven's type. External $h$-harmonics in the plane are expressed in terms of Jacobi polynomials $P_n^{α,β}$ and Jacobi's functions $Q_n^{α,β}$ of the second kind.

Generalized Ellipsoidal and Sphero-Conal Harmonics

Classical ellipsoidal and sphero-conal harmonics are polynomial solutions of the Laplace equation that can be expressed in terms of Lame polynomials. Generalized ellipsoidal and sphero-conal harmonics are polynomial solutions of the more general Dunkl equation that can be expressed in terms of Stieltjes polynomials. Niven's formula connecting ellipsoidal and sphero-conal harmonics is generalized. Moreover, generalized ellipsoidal harmonics are applied to solve the Dirichlet problem for Dunkl's equation on ellipsoids.
