Abstract
Relations between the Euclidean (mean-square) and Chebyshev (uniform) norms of a surface spherical harmonic of order n and its gradient in the tangent bundle of the sphere \( \mathbb{S}^{k - 1} \), as well as relations between the same norms of a solid spherical harmonic (internal and external) of order n and its spatial gradient, are given. In all cases, the norm of the gradient differs from that of the harmonic by a factor of order n. As examples, relations between the norms of the internal and external solid spherical harmonics $$ r\left\langle {gradU_n } \right\rangle = n\left\langle {U_n } \right\rangle , r\left\| {gradU_n } \right\| = \sqrt {n(2n + k - 2)} \left\| {U_n } \right\| $$ and $$ r\left\langle {gradV_n } \right\rangle = (n + k - 2)\left\langle {V_n } \right\rangle , r\left\| {gradV_n } \right\| = \sqrt {(n + k - 2)(2n + k - 2)} \left\| {V_n } \right\|, $$ respectively, are considered; here, and ∥·∥ denote the Chebyshev and Euclidean norms, respectively.
