Review text

The authors obtain detailed relations between spheroidal and spherical harmonics of the Laplace equation. As an application, the exact solution of the electrostatic problem for multilayer particles with non-confocal layer boundaries is obtained and the Rayleigh approximation is constructed. Approximate solutions are also included and the accuracy of the constructed approximations are discussed.
