Abstract

In this paper we are concerned with the simple Molodensky problem and the linearized fixed-boundary gravimetric boundary-value problem in spherical approximation. We find a series solution for these problems from a variational approach using the Molodensky shrinking These series are compared with the solution by analytical continuation and the change of boundary method.
