Notice that the direction cosine functions for the (as yet, unknown) second-coordinate function remain the same.  This is because the direction-cosine functions associated with both <math>~\lambda_1</math> and <math>~\lambda_3</math> remain unchanged, so it must be true that the cross product of the first and third unit vectors leads to the same components for the second unit vector.

Background

Building on our general introduction to Direction Cosines in the context of orthogonal curvilinear coordinate systems, and on our previous development of the so-called T6 (concentric elliptic) coordinate system, here we take a somewhat daring attack on this problem, mixing our approach to identifying the expression for the third curvilinear coordinate. Broadly speaking, this entire study is motivated by our desire to construct a fully analytically prescribable model of a nonuniform-density ellipsoidal configuration that is an analog to Riemann S-Type ellipsoids.

<math>~\ell_q</math>

<math>~\equiv</math>

<math>~[x^2 + q^4 y^2 ]^{- 1/ 2 }</math>

New Approach

As before, let's adopt the first-coordinate expression,

<math>~\lambda_1</math>

<math>~\equiv</math>

<math>~(x^2 + q^2 y^2 + p^2 z^2)^{1 / 2} \, ,</math>

but for the third-coordinate expression we will abandon the trigonometric expression and instead simply use,

<math>~\lambda_3</math>

<math>~\equiv</math>

<math>~\frac{y^{1/q^2}}{x} \, .</math>

This modified third-coordinate expression means that the last row of the above table changes, as follows.

Daring Attack
<math>~n</math> <math>~\lambda_n</math> <math>~h_n</math> <math>~\frac{\partial \lambda_n}{\partial x}</math> <math>~\frac{\partial \lambda_n}{\partial y}</math> <math>~\frac{\partial \lambda_n}{\partial z}</math> <math>~\gamma_{n1}</math> <math>~\gamma_{n2}</math> <math>~\gamma_{n3}</math>
<math>~1</math> <math>~(x^2 + q^2 y^2 + p^2 z^2)^{1 / 2} </math> <math>~\lambda_1 \ell_{3D}</math> <math>~\frac{x}{\lambda_1}</math> <math>~\frac{q^2 y}{\lambda_1}</math> <math>~\frac{p^2 z}{\lambda_1}</math> <math>~(x) \ell_{3D}</math> <math>~(q^2 y)\ell_{3D}</math> <math>~(p^2z) \ell_{3D}</math>
<math>~2</math> --- --- --- --- --- <math>~\ell_q \ell_{3D} (xp^2z)</math> <math>~\ell_q \ell_{3D} (q^2 y p^2z) </math> <math>~- (x^2 + q^4y^2)\ell_q \ell_{3D}</math>
<math>~3</math> <math>~\frac{y^{1/q^2}}{x} </math> <math>~\frac{xq^2 y \ell_q}{\lambda_3}</math> <math>~-\frac{\lambda_3}{x}</math> <math>~+\frac{\lambda_3}{q^2y}</math> <math>~0</math> <math>~-q^2 y \ell_q</math> <math>~x\ell_q</math> <math>~0</math>

Notice that the direction cosine functions for the (as yet, unknown) second-coordinate function remain the same. This is because the direction-cosine functions associated with both <math>~\lambda_1</math> and <math>~\lambda_3</math> remain unchanged, so it must be true that the cross product of the first and third unit vectors leads to the same components for the second unit vector.
