Boundary value problems in ellipsoidal geometry

Abstract

The ellipsoidal coordinate system is the most general rectangular curvilinear coordinate system, since it depicts the complete anisotropy of the three–dimensional space. However, the full spectral analysis of the Laplace differential operator leads to the Lamé functions, which are not all available analytically. Hence, the present thesis is involved with the derivation of new expressions and the introduction of a methodology of the computational calculation of the Lamé functions of any degree, accompanied by two applications. The first application is part of a series of studies on analytical models of avascular tumour growth that exhibit both geometrical anisotropy and physical inhomogeneity. It is proved that the lack of symmetry is strongly connected to a special condition that should hold between the data imposed by the tumour’s surrounding medium, in order for the ellipsoidal growth to be realizable. The nutrient and the inhibitor concentration, as well as the pressure field are pr ...
