Summary
Given a functionf defined on the sphere σ, a continuation is considered which transformsf into a periodic function with period 2π, accordingto each of the two usual variables θ, ϕ.
Starting from this continuation, an explicit interpolation formula forf on σ in a set of trigonometric functions is obtained. A simple and numerically stable quadrature formula is given, which is accurate for a vast class of functions.
Error-bounds for approximation and quadrature are given.
