The Shortest Distance Between Two Nearly Antipodean Points on the Surface of a Spheroid

Abstract

Lambert, in his paper entitled The distance between two widely separated points on the surface of the Earth, published in 1942, having given a solution which was applicable in most cases, stated that there was a particular problem in determining the shortest distance between two nearly antipodean points on the surface of the spheroidal Earth but this was not fully analysed in that paper.
