Let . The condition gives . On the outer coordinate surface , elimination of gives . On , the surface is the plane , with . Thus the closure of the body isIt is a solid circular cap bounded below by an elliptic paraboloid of revolution and above by the unit disk in . Its vertex is , its height is , and its rim is the circle . The symmetry axis is the axis. The coordinate surface maps to that axis rather than to an additional two-dimensional boundary. These are parabolic coordinates.
