Options OF CALCULATING AREA OF SPHERICAL ECONOMIC SHELL

 

This article describes the economic shell that can be presented in the form of area of sphere surface. This area can be presented as the gross domestic product (GDP). The types of sphere deformation are shown under the effect of external and internal pressure.

Earlier the author showed in his articles that GDP of any country can be presented as a spherical shell or more precisely as the area of its surface [1, 2, 3].

Gross domestic product is a macroeconomic indicator that reflects the market value of all final goods and services produced for consumption, export and accumulation in all economic sectors within the borders of a country during a year, irrespective of national identity of the used production factors. That is, it can be presented as a package of final goods and services of enterprises (companies) and, consequently, each enterprise (company) constitutes its separate part of the area of spherical economic shell.

For this purpose, the area of spherical surface can be categorized into two classes:

1. the first class - the surface area of the economic shell is a closed sphere without cracks Ssc;

2. the second class – the surface area of the economic shell is an open sphere Sso where at least two sides of two polygons are out of contact with each other, i.e, there is a crack.

Each class is further divided into the following ten equal subclasses:

1. The plotted surface area of the economic shell Ss is an aggregate of separate identical polygons of the same surface area Ssi and radius Rsi;

2. The plotted surface area of the economic shell Ss is an aggregate of separate identical polygons with different surface areas Ssi and radius Rsi;

3. The plotted surface area of the economic shell Ss is a convex and concave aggregate of separate identical polygons of the same surface areas Ssi and with constant radiuses Rsi for convex Rs1 and concave Rs2 surfaces;

4. The plotted surface area of the economic shell Ss is a convex and concave aggregate of separate identical polygons of the same surface areas Ssi and with constant and varying radiuses Rsi (constant radius Rs1 is for convex surfaces and varying radiuses Rs2 are for concave surfaces).

5. The plotted surface area of the economic shell Ss is a convex and concave aggregate of separate identical polygons with the same surface areas Ssi and with constant and varying radiuses Rsi (varying radiuses Rs1 are for convex surfaces and constant radius Rs2 is for concave surfaces).

6. The plotted surface area of the economic shell Ss is a convex and concave aggregate of separate identical polygons of the same surface areas Ssi and with varying radiuses Rsi (radius Rs1 is for convex surfaces and radius Rs2 is for concave surfaces).

7. The plotted surface area of the economic shell Ss is a convex and concave aggregate of separate identical polygons of varying surface areas Ssi and with the same radiuses Rsi (radius Rs1 is for convex surfaces and radius Rs2 is for concave surfaces).

8. The plotted surface area of the economic shell Ss is a convex and concave aggregate of separate identical polygons of varying surface areas Ssi and with different radiuses Rsi (constant radius Rs1 is for convex surfaces and varying radius Rs2 is for concave surfaces).

9. The plotted surface area of the economic shell Ss is a convex and concave aggregate of separate identical polygons of varying surface areas Ssi and with different radiuses Rsi (varying radius Rs1 is for convex surfaces and constant radius Rs2 is for concave surfaces).

10. The plotted surface area of the economic shell Ss is a convex and concave aggregate of separate identical polygons of varying surface areas Ssi and with varying radiuses Rsi (varying radiuses Rs1 and Rs2 for convex and concave surfaces).

Let us consider the above stated subclasses individually:

Subclasses without cracks:

1. The plotted surface area of the economic shell Ss is an aggregate of separate identical polygons of the same surface area Ssi and radius Rsi.

This subclass represents an ordinary sphere plotted from identical polygons. The minimum number of sides of a polygon is equal to three, i.e. . npmin = 3, and the maximum number is equal to npmax, i.e. np = npmax. As we calculate the area of a polygon, then the number of its sides shall correspond to the number of the variables nGDP used when calculating GDP of a country. Thus, it is possible to record the following boundaries for the number of sides of a polygon within which they can exist 3 £ np  £ nGDP. It should be noted that the areas of polygons are equal among themselves Ss1 = Ss2 … = Ssi (Fig. 1).

2. The plotted surface area of the economic shell Ss is an aggregate of separate identical polygons with different surface areas Ssi and radius Rsi;

Figure 2 presents this subclass with two contact equilateral triangles of areas Ss1 and Ss1 where the radius for the convex part of the sphere Rs1 is equal to the radius for the concave surface of the sphere Rs2, that is Rs1 = Rs2.

3. The plotted surface area of the economic shell Ss is a convex and concave aggregate of separate identical polygons of the same surface areas Ssi and with constant radiuses Rsi for convex Rs1 and concave Rs2 surfaces;

Figure 3 represents this subclass with two contact equilateral triangles of areas Ss1 and Ss2 where Ss1 = Ss2. Here the radius for the convex part of the sphere Rs1 is equal to the radius for the concave part of the sphere Rs2, that is Rs1 = Rs2.

4. The plotted surface area of the economic shell Ss is a convex and concave aggregate of separate identical polygons of the same surface areas Ssi and with constant and varying radiuses Rsi (constant radius Rs1 is for convex surfaces and varying radiuses Rs2 are for concave surfaces) and it is shown on Figure 4. In this subclass Ss1 = Ss2, Rs1 = Rs2 =…Rsi = const, and Rs21 ¹ Rs22.

5. The plotted surface area of the economic shell Ss is a convex and concave aggregate of separate identical polygons with the same surface areas Ssi and with constant and varying radiuses Rsi (varying radiuses Rs1 are for convex surfaces and constant radius Rs2 is for concave surfaces) (Figure 5). In this subclass Ss1 = Ss2, Rs11 ¹ Rs12, and Rs21 = Rs22 =…Rs2i = const.

 

6. The plotted surface area of the economic shell Ss is a convex and concave aggregate of separate identical polygons of the same surface areas Ssi and with varying radiuses Rsi: radius Rs1 is for convex surfaces and radius Rs2 is for concave surfaces (Figure 6). In this subclass Ss1 = Ss2, Rs11 ¹ Rs12, Rs21 ¹ Rs22.

7. The plotted surface area of the economic shell Ss is a convex and concave aggregate of separate identical polygons of varying surface areas Ssi and with the same radiuses Rsi (radius Rs1 is for convex surfaces and radius Rs2 is for concave surfaces). Figure 7 represents this subclass with two contact equilateral triangles of areas Ss1 and Ss2 where Ss1 ¹ Ss2.

Here the radiuses for a convex part Rs1 and for a concave part Rs2 of spheres can be divided into the following two groups:

·        all radiuses of convex Rs1 and concave Rs2 spheres are equal among themselves, that is Rs11 = Rs12 =…Rs1i = Rs21 = Rs22 =…Rs2j;

·        all radiuses of convex Rs1 and concave Rs2 spheres are equal among themselves only in their groups, that is Rs11 = Rs12 =…Rs1i и Rs21 = Rs22 =…Rs2j and in this way Rs1i ¹ Rs2j.

8. The plotted surface area of the economic shell Ss is a convex and concave aggregate of separate identical polygons of varying surface areas Ssi and with different radiuses Rsi (constant radius Rs1 is for convex surfaces and varying radius Rs2 is for concave surfaces). In this subclass Ss1 ¹ Ss2, Rs11 = Rs12 =…Rs1i = const, and Rs21 ¹ Rs22.

9. The plotted surface area of the economic shell Ss is a convex and concave aggregate of separate identical polygons of varying surface areas Ssi and different radiuses Rsi (varying radius Rs1 is for convex surfaces and constant radius Rs2 is for concave surfaces) (See Figure 9). In this subclass Ss1 ¹ Ss2, Rs11 ¹ Rs12, and Rs21 = Rs21 =…Rs2j = const.

10. The plotted surface area of the economic shell Ss is a convex and concave aggregate of separate identical polygons of varying surface areas Ssi and with varying radiuses Rsi (varying radiuses Rs1 and Rs2 are for convex and concave surfaces) (Figure 10). In this subclass Ss1 ¹ Ss2, Rs11 ¹ Rs12, Rs21 ¹ Rs22.

Two formulae are acceptable for surface area calculation for the above described 10 variants of close economic sphere

1. Surface area calculations are made using a corresponding formula for the first two variants when the economic sphere is a sphere in radius Rsi

2. Surface area calculations are made for convex and concave sphere as an aggregate of separate areas of polygons Ssi.

Similar figures and descriptions are also applied to the subclass of open spheres having even one crack, that is when two sides of two polygons are out of contact against each other and it is shown in Figure 11.

If it is necessary to change any economic surface from an open one, that is with a crack (cracks), into a close one, then it can be done in the following way. It is necessary to base on an equilateral single economic polygon where its side length lsp is equal to one (lsp1 = 1) and which area we indicate as Spht1.

On this basis, here, we will introduce a concept of “unit theoretical are” of an economic polygon Spht where the length of each side of this polygon is equal to one, squared.

Now we will perform the following transformation, we will increase (decrease) all sides of polygons depending on their sizes in such a way so that the lengths of all their sides are to be equal to one. Thus, we reduce all polygons of economic shell to the unit theoretical area Spht1. In this case, we will receive a polyhedral theoretical economic shell Vpht consisting of a set of unit theoretical areas of economic polyhedrons Spht1n. From this perspective, the area of polyhedral theoretical economic shell Spht can be calculated under formula (2)

After that, we will introduce a coefficient of increase (decrease) for a side of a polyhedron lsp and indicate it as Ksp. The application of this coefficient gives us a possibility to reduce any side of a polyhedron lsp to be equal to unity, i.e. lsp1 = 1, that is to equilateral polyhedron and it is calculated under formula (3)

The value of the coefficient is always greater than zero, that is Ksp > 0. In this case, if the values of coefficient Ksp are within the following boundaries 0 < Ksp < 1, then, consequently, the considerd side of a polygon lsp is decreased, that is its value is more than one. If the value of coefficient Ksp is more than one, that is Ksp > 1, it means that a side of a polygon lsp is within the boundaries 0 < lsp < 1. When Ksp = 1, it means that a side of a polygon is lsp = 1. 

It follows that in order to transform the open spherical economic shell Sso into a closed one Ssc, it is necessary to recalculate the lengths of all sides of polygons lsp that are different from one under formula (3).

Since there can be a great number of such sides and polygons in a spherical economic shell if the GDP of a country is calculated, then it is necessary to use the corresponding table which example is represented below.

Table 1 represents an example of values reduction of all lengths of sides of triangles lsp to unity except when their values are equal to unity (Ksp = 1). Here a line number (serial number) (item No.) corresponds to the number of a considered triangle.

While calculating the area of spherical economic shell, it is expedient to represent it in the form of a set of polyhedrons as it was done in Figure 12, than in the form of convex or concave surfaces like it is represented in Figures above.
