space { R

nates (L, B) of type longitude L and latitude B . The ambient Euclidean space { R

the metric of the left manifold M

the coordinates of the left metric tensor G l ,Eqs.( 22.18 )-( 22.20 ), in terms of the principal cur-
vature functions M ( B )and N ( B ), respectively. Finally Eq.( 22.21 ) is a representation of the arc
length squared of

means of Eq.( 22.22 ) we define the algebraic geometry of the plane

Eqs.( 22.24 )-( 22.26 ), in terms of Cartesian coordinates, namely one or zero, respectively. The left

to the arc length squared representation dS 2 ,Eqs.( 22.20 )and( 22.29 ), in terms of Gauss surface
normal coordinates (L, B) if the mapping equations x ( L, B ) ,y ( L, B ) are given. The pullback of

deformation tensor C l . Indeed by means of Eq.( 22.33 ), in terms of left coordinates ( L, B ).

By means of Figure 22.1 we want to illustrate the contents of Theorem 22.1 .The objec-
tive function, given by Eq.( 22.2 ), to be minimized has been chosen as the distortion energy
over a Reference Meridian Strip with respect to the International Reference ellipsoid E
A 1 ,A 2
by Eqs. ( 22.3 )and( 22.4 ). The Meridian of Reference has been fixed to the Reference Longitude
