You're going about this backwards

ORIGINAL ANSWER DELETED

EDIT: I neglected to account for the need to parameterize by arclength. And I think I also misunderstood and thought that you wanted only the Jacobi fields are useful field that fixes the center. You want to solve for calculating an Jacobi field, given a point (away from the curvature center) and a vector at that point, right?

So that's definitely not vice versaas easy as I thought. Especially for radial geodesics of Here are my thoughts:

1) I think the already proposed surface given by a radially symmetric Riemannian metricspherical cap glued to a pseudosphere is already a good enough question.

You can do what In my experience you want with any radially symmetric never really need a $C^2$ surface, and something with piecewise continuous curvature is almost always enough. There's no need I encourage you to go searching for a "nice" onetry it.

To find the formula

2) As for the Jacobi field of more general approach, I no longer have any easy answer, but here are some thoughts:

Let the surface be given by $(r,\theta) \mapsto X(r,\theta) = (r\cos\theta, r\sin\theta, f(r))$. If $s$ be the arclength parameter along a radial geodesic, just use the definition of a then $s'(r) = \sqrt{1 + f'(r)^2}$. One Jacobi field $J_1(r,\theta)$ is given simply by

$J_1(r,\theta) = \partial X/\partial\theta = re_\theta$, where $e_\theta = (-\sin\theta, \cos\theta, 0)$ is a unit vector field that is orthogonal to and not parallel along any radial geodesic.

If we view $r$ as a function of $s$, then the differential Jacobi equation it happens to satisfy.

In particularsays that $r'' + Kr = 0$, you don't need to find where $K$ is the Gauss curvaturefirst. In fact, if you look at the formula It suffices to solve for the Gauss curvature one more Jacobi field $J_2 = h(s)e_\theta$ independent of $J_1$. The Jacobi equation for $J_2$ is given by $h'' + Kh = 0$. Since $r$ is already a radially symmetric surface written in polar co-ordinatessolution, you will see that the best way we can try to compute solve for $h$ using variation of parameters.

So the Gauss curvature goal is via to find an even function $f$ with an inflection point such that the Jacobi field of radial geodesicsfunction

$s(r) = \int_0^r \sqrt{1 + f'(t)^2} dt$

can be explicitly integrated and inverted. I suggest trying something like $f(r) = 1/(1+r^2)$.

You're going about this backwards. Jacobi fields are useful for calculating the curvature and not vice versa. Especially for radial geodesics of a radially symmetric Riemannian metric.

You can do what you want with any radially symmetric surface. There's no need to go searching for a "nice" one.

To find the formula for the Jacobi field of a radial geodesic, just use the definition of a Jacobi field and not the differential equation it happens to satisfy.

In particular, you don't need to find the curvature first. In fact, if you look at the formula for the Gauss curvature of a radially symmetric surface written in polar co-ordinates, you will see that the best way to compute the Gauss curvature is via the Jacobi field of radial geodesics.
