YNT: [ÇOMÜ Astrobiology] Daisyworld models as spherical eigenfunctions

[me_ozel]

It looks like Jupiter or other giants, isn't it? Does it need to be taken more seriously?

Konu: [ÇOMÜ Astrobiology] Daisyworld models as spherical eigenfunctions

Hi  --

I am wondering we could experiment a bit more with the idea of using 

our Sturm-Liouville operator as a generator of eigenfunctions

for low gene number biospheres...(= primitive 'RNA-world' models).

The accompanying image may suggest this idea pictorially.

The main acceleration term will always come from the solar cycling effect --

associated with the rotation,

but right hand members in the operation should reflect local environment

variations.  Nodes may occur in such locations...(?)

This approach may be as suggestive as direct daisyworld modelling,

but carry a more analytic framework with it.

Best wishes,

Ed

HI Mehmet --

Thanks for the comment.

Yes --  if you were reminded of something about Jupiter by the 

"Daisyworld-eigenfunction" picture that is interesting.

It may suggest a direction for this kind of modelling.

Meanwhile -- please take a look at this website --
