confocal ellipsoidal coordinates
1Ellipsoidal coordinates — are a three dimensional orthogonal coordinate system (λ,μ,ν) that generalizes the two dimensional elliptic coordinate system. Unlike most three dimensional orthogonal coordinate systems that feature quadratic coordinate surfaces, the ellipsoidal… …
2Paraboloidal coordinates — are a three dimensional orthogonal coordinate system (λ,μ,ν) that generalizes the two dimensional parabolic coordinate system. Similar to the related ellipsoidal coordinates, the paraboloidal coordinate system has orthogonal quadratic coordinate… …
