While calculating low frequency oscillations of the Earth liquid core spherical harmonic representation of the deformation field is usually used [1-3]:

Substitution of (1) into the equations of motion gives an infinite system of differential equations for scalar functions Sɭm and Tɭm . Approximate solutions of such a system are obtained by truncating of the system. But results of [4] show that sometimes such method divergences.
