Definition(s)
-
In mathematics, the cylindrical harmonics are a set of linearly independent functions that are solutions to Laplace's differential equation, , expressed in cylindrical coordinates, ρ (radial coordinate), φ (polar angle), and z (height). Each function Vn(k) is the product of three terms, each depending on one coordinate alone. The ρ-dependent term is given by Bessel functions (which occasionally are also called cylindrical harmonics).
