TLDR
In this article, it was shown that the restrictions of the functions on a regular boundary surface of an exterior region in Euclidean space ℜ3 (for instance, sphere, ellipsoid, geoid, earth's surface) form a closed system in the spaceC (S), i.e. any functionf, defined and continuous on S, can be approximated uniformly by a linear combination of functions ϕn.Abstract:
Let S be the (regular) boundary-surface of an exterior regionEe in Euclidean space ℜ3 (for instance: sphere, ellipsoid, geoid, earth's surface). Denote by {φn} a countable, linearly independent system of trial functions (e.g., solid spherical harmonics or certain singularity functions) which are harmonic in some domain containingEe ∪ S. It is the purpose of this paper to show that the restrictions {ϕn} of the functions {φn} onS form a closed system in the spaceC (S), i.e. any functionf, defined and continuous onS, can be approximated uniformly by a linear combination of the functions ϕn.read more

TL;DR: In this article, a wavelet-based regularization method was proposed to overcome the calamities of the ill-posedness, thereby providing a "zooming-in" technique of modeling the gravitational potential from global to local scale.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed and characterized satellite-to-satellite tracking and gravity gradiometry from a mathematical point of view, and the justification is given for approximating the external gravitational field by finite linear combination of certain gradient fields consistent to a given set of SGG and/or SST data.

An integrated wavelet concept of physical geodesy
Willi Freeden,Frank Schneider +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated concept of physical geodesy in terms of harmonic wavelets is presented, by which the gravity part of the earth's gravity field can be approximated progressively better and better, reflecting an increasing flow of observations.
