Expressing head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) in the spherical harmonic (SH) domain has been thoroughly studied as a method of obtaining continuity over space. However, HRTFs are functions not only of direction but also of frequency. This paper presents an extension of the SH-based method, utilizing hyperspherical harmonics (HSHs) to obtain an HRTF representation that is continuous over both space and frequency. The application of the HSH approximation results in a relatively small set of coefficients which can be decoded into HRTF values at any direction and frequency. The paper discusses results obtained by applying the method to magnitude spectra extracted from exemplary HRTF measurements. The HRTF representations based on SHs and HSHs exhibit similar reproduction accuracy, with the latter one featuring continuity over both space and frequency and requiring much lower number of coefficients. The developed HSH-based continuous functional model can serve multiple purposes, such as interpolation, compression or parametrization for machine-learning applications.

In this article, we are interested in the linear conformable diffusion equation on the sphere. Our main goal is to establish some results on the continuity problem with respect to fractional order. The main technique is based on several evaluations on the sphere using spherical basis functions. To overcome the difficulty, we also need to use some calculations to control the generalized integrals.
The relationship between the classical order and type of an entire harmonic function in space Rn, n≥3, and the rate of its best harmonic polynomial approximation for some Banach spaces of functions harmonic in the ball of radius R has been studied.
Precise measurement of the sound source directivity not only requires special equipment, but also is time-consuming. Alternatively, one can reduce the number of measurement points and apply spatial interpolation to retrieve a high-resolution approximation of directivity function. This paper discusses the interpolation error for different algorithms with emphasis on the one based on spherical harmonics. The analysis is performed on raw directivity data for two loudspeaker systems. The directivity was measured using sampling schemes of different densities and point distributions (equiangular and equiareal). Then, the results were interpolated and compared with these obtained on the standard 5° regular grid. The application of the spherical harmonic approximation to sparse measurement data yields a mean error of less than 1 dB with the number of measurement points being reduced by 89%. The impact of the sparse grid type on the retrieval error is also discussed. The presented results facilitate optimal sampling grid choice for low-resolution directivity measurements.

Global ionosphere maps are generated on a daily basis at CODE using data from about 200 GPS/GLONASS sites of the IGS and other institutions. The vertical total electron content is modeled in a solargeomagnetic reference frame using a spherical harmonics expansion up to degree and order 15. The spherical Slepian basis is a set of bandlimited functions which have the majority of their energy concentrated by optimization inside an arbitrarily defined region, yet remain orthogonal within the spatial region of interest. Hence, they are suitable for decomposing the spherical harmonic models into the portions that have significant strength only in the selected areas. In this study, the converted spherical harmonics to the Slepian bases were updated by the terrestrial GPS observations by use of the least-squares estimation with weighted parameters for local ionospheric modeling. Validations show that the approach adopted in this study is highly capable of yielding reliable results.

The UGR index is practically used measure of a discomfort glare for the interior working environment. The basic parameters of the index formula are the angular dependences which define the visibility of light sources. In the paper the new method for light sources description has been presented. The mathematical model using spherical harmonics is discussed. Spherical harmonics allows for convenient and efficient description of the light sources positions as well as their shapes in the field of view.

In mathematical modeling of the topographic and atmospheric potentials in spherical harmonics, the topographic heights can binomially be expanded a certain order, usually to the third order. Some studies have been done on the effect of each order on geoid and gravity anomaly. However similar study on the satellite gravity gradiometric data is missed yet. This paper will investigate this matter globally. It presents that the contribution of the second- and third-order topographic terms is within 0.08 E and 2 mE, respectively on satellite gravity gradiometric data at 250 km level. Also the contribution of these terms is within 0.5 mE and 0.08 mE for the atmospheric effect.

Let H(x), x = (x1, x2, ... , xn), be an entire harmonic function in Rn.Fryant and Shankar [1] had obtained growth properties of H explicitly in terms of its Fourier coeffcients. In this paper, we obtain the characterizations of generalized order and type and introduce the generalized lower order for H. Special case of functions of slow growth has also been considered. Our results generalize some of the results obtained in [1].

In this paper, we propose a precise frequency-based representation for oriented point-based surfaces using spherical harmonics. The representation can be useful in many applications, such as filtering, progressive transmission and coding of 3D surfaces. The basic computation in our approach is the spherical harmonics transform of local spherical radial functions induced by a set of points. An important feature of our approach is that the calculations are performed directly on local 2D triangulations of the point-based surface without any prior space voxelization. This property ensures that the complexity of our computation of the spherical harmonics transform is linear in the number of triangles in the local patch. We present some experimental results which demonstrate our technique.
This paper proposes an inductive method to construct bases for spaces of spherical harmonics over the unit sphere Ω 2q of Cq. The bases are shown to have many interesting properties, among them orthogonality with respect to the inner product of L²(Ω 2q). As a bypass, we study the inner product [f,g] = f(D)(g(z))(0) over the space P(Cq) of polynomials in the variables [wzór], in which f(D) is the differential operator with symbol f(z). On the spaces of spherical harmonics, it is shown that the inner product [. , .] reduces to a multiple of the L²(Ω 2q) inner product. Bi-orthogonality in (F(Cq), [. , .] ) is fully investigated.
