Solution (the first problem).
By means of detailed derivations given in Boxes 1.13 and 1.14 , we aim at an analytical analysis of
the right Cauchy-Green deformation tensor in Cartesian coordinates {x, y} and in polar coordi-
nates {α,r} , which cover the projection plane P
. The right mapping equations ( x, y ) ( x, y ) }
and ( α ) ( r ) } are given first. They are constituted from the identities x = X = R cos Φ cos Λ
and y = Y = R cos Φ sin Λ ,where {Λ, Φ} are the spherical coordinates. {Λ, Φ} or { longitude,
latitude } label a point in S

which are points in the northern hemisphere. Second, we compute the right Jacobi matrices J r ( x, y )
and J r ( α, r ) in Cartesian coordinates
2 R + . We use the symbol + in order to allow only positive values Z ∈ R
. While J r ( x, y )isa
fully occupied matrix, J r ( α, r ) is diagonal. Third, this difference continues when we are going to
compute the right Cauchy-Green matrices C r ( x, y )andC r ( α,r ). Again, C r ( x, y ) is a fully occu-
pied symmetric matrix, while C r ( α,r ) is diagonal. Fourth, in Box 1.13 , we represent the right
Cauchy-Green deformation tensor as a tensor of second order in the Cartesian two-basis e μ

orthogonality of the two-leg { g 1 , g 2 |p} , the co-frame amounts to g 1 = g 1 / g 11 and g 2 = g 2 /g 22 ,
respectively. Question: “Why did we bother you with the notation of the co-frame { g 1 , g 2 |p} ?”
Answer: “Often the moving frame { g 1 ( α, r ) , g 2 ( α, r ) } is called covariant , accordingly its dual
