SINGULAR POINTS IN THE SOLAR CHROMOSPHERE . ... In the structure of the solar chromosphere, containing information on the configuration of the magnetic field, we have found and identified all the main types of the singular points ( see Fig. 1 ), which are known as inherent features of the 2-D vector field. ... The main types of the singular points are the node, the focus, the center, and the saddle. ... Singular point of the focus type in the solar chromosphere. ...

In this method the fields outside and inside a particle are represented by expansions in term of proper basis functions (practically always the vector spherical harmonics). Since the particle surface does not coincide with the coordinate surface, it is impossible to satisfy the boundary conditions exactly, and the expansions are limited by a finite number of terms, and the boundary conditions are considered in a finite set of points (matching points). ...

... In polar coordinates, the point P is defined by its distance r from the origin O (see drawing) and by its polar angle ("azimuth" on a map) between the x-axis and the "radius" r = OA, measured counter-clockwise. ... When one or both are negative , the angle f is larger than 90 degrees, and such angles never appears in any right-angled triangle. ... There is a simple solution , though: use the above equations to re-define sin f and cos f for such larger angles! ... But it also works for larger angles....
