But is there a set of points that have one or more? Please explain for me. Thank you

But is there a set of points that have *more than one I meant.
Sorry

Obviously, any point can be written as $(\rho, \theta+ 2n\pi, \phi+ m\phi)$ for any integers n and m. Does "valid representation" require that $\theta$ be between 0 and $2\pi$ and that $\phi$ be between 0 and $\pi$? Assuming that, look at r= 0 for any $]theta$ and $\phi$.
