Surfaces of revolution from Bushing's function

  • Python scripts to animate a pair of 3D surfaces of revolution, and calculate their first and second derivatives.

About

Bushing's function is derived from the coherent states of the anisotropic harmonic oscillator.

γ(a, x) and Γ(a) are the lower incomplete gamma function, and gamma function respectively (see wolfram).

θ ranges from 0 to 2π in bushing's function, and from 0 to π for the surface of revolution.

The functions α(θ) and β(θ) are given by either

- cigar harmonic oscillator:
α(θ) = η^2sin^2(θ) and β(θ) = η^2cos^2(θ)

- pancake harmonic oscillator:
α(θ) = η^2cos^2(θ) and β(θ) = η^2sin^2(θ)

Note: The surface of revolution and its derivatives are wholly described by the parameters (η, λ, nF).

η (float): gaussian spread parameter
λ (int): anisotropy parameter
nF (int): occupancy parameter

For chosen values of (λ,nF) bushing's surfaces are animated for a range of η values.
