The solution of elliptic and vorticity equations on a sphere is studied using double Fourier series as orthogonal basis functions. The basis functions incorporate sine series weighted by cosine latitude as meridional basis functions for even zonal wavenumbers other than zero to meet the pole conditi

Abstract
A novel, very effective Liapunov functional was used in previous papers to derive decay and asymptotic stability estimates (with respect to time) in a variety of thermal and thermoโmechanical contexts. The purpose of this note is to show that the versatility of this functional extends to certain nonโlinear elliptic boundary value problems in a right cylinder, the axial coโordinate in this context replacing the time variable in the previous one. A steadyโstate temperature problem is considered with Dirichlet boundary conditions, the condition on the boundary being independent of the axial coโordinate. The functional is used to obtain an estimate of the error committed in approximating the temperature field by the twoโdimensional field induced by the boundary condition on the lateral surface.
