The Inclination Function in Terms of Nonsingular Elements
Abstract
Different formulas for computation of the inclination function in terms of nonsingular elements have been presented and compared. Among the ways to compute the inclination function presented below, the best one is based on the recurrence relations (eqs. 16) derived in this paper.
