      [For part III see ibid. 18, No. 6, 1583-1604 (1997; Zbl 0890.65117).] For elliptic equations on the sphere fast spectral-Galerkin algorithms are developed. The proposed algorithms are based on a double Fourier series expansion and have a computational complexity, which is optimal up to a logarithmic term. Some numerical experiments are reported. These experiments indicate that the algorithms are more efficient and accurate when compared with algorithms based on spherical harmonics or on finite differences. Extensions to problems in spherical layers and to vector equations are also discussed.
