Kakutani's theorem (geometry)
Kakutani's theorem is a result in the field of geometry and topology, particularly in the study of multi-valued functions and convex sets. It states that if \( C \) is a non-empty, compact, convex subset of a Euclidean space, then any continuous map from \( C \) into itself that satisfies certain conditions has a fixed point. More specifically, consider a set \( C \) that is compact and convex.
Kosnita's theorem
Kosnita's theorem is a result in the field of geometry, specifically in relation to cyclic polygons and triangle centers.
Laplacian smoothing
Laplacian smoothing, also known as Laplacian regularization or Laplacian filtering, is a technique used in various fields, including computer graphics, machine learning, and signal processing, to improve the quality of data representation or to enhance smoothness in a given dataset.
Lateral surface
The term "lateral surface" refers to the outer surface of a three-dimensional geometric shape that is not the top or bottom face. It describes the vertical or side surfaces of a solid object. For example: - In a cylinder, the lateral surface is the curved surface that connects the top and bottom circular bases. - In a prism, the lateral surfaces are the rectangular faces that connect the top and bottom polygonal bases.
Lentoid
"Lentoid" is not a widely recognized term and may refer to a few different things depending on the context. It could be mistaken for "lenticular," which generally describes something that is lens-shaped or related to lenses, often used in optics. In a biological context, "lentoid" could refer to structures that are lens-shaped as well.
Link distance
Lituus (mathematics)
In mathematics, a lituus is a type of spiral or curve that is defined by a specific polar equation. The term "lituus" is derived from the Latin word for "trumpet," which reflects the curve's trumpet-like shape as it spirals outward.
Mori dream space
Mori Dream Space is a conceptual space that embodies elements of Mori Girl aesthetics and culture. The "Mori Girl" style originated in Japan and is characterized by a whimsical, rustic, and nature-inspired look. This aesthetic often includes layered clothing, soft and flowing fabrics, and earthy colors, evoking a sense of tranquility and connection to nature.
Mukhopadhyaya theorem
The Mukhopadhyaya Theorem is a result in the field of number theory, specifically concerning the properties of Diophantine equations. However, it's important to note that it may not be widely known or recognized in all mathematical circles, and the presentation of the theorem may vary. In general, the theorem deals with the conditions under which certain types of integer solutions exist for equations of specific forms. It may also relate to topics in algebraic number theory or algebraic geometry.
Murakami–Yano formula
The Murakami–Yano formula is a result in differential geometry, specifically concerning the relationship between the curvature of a Riemannian manifold and the behavior of the volume of the manifold under certain geometric transformations. Named after mathematicians Hideo Murakami and Yoshihiro Yano, the formula provides a way to compute the derivative of the volume of a Riemannian manifold when the metric is varied.
Nirenberg's conjecture
Nirenberg's conjecture, proposed by Louis Nirenberg, concerns the behavior of solutions to certain nonlinear partial differential equations, particularly those related to elliptic equations. Specifically, the conjecture addresses the existence of solutions to the Dirichlet problem for certain elliptic equations involving the Laplacian operator with nonlinear boundary conditions. One of the key aspects of Nirenberg's conjecture is its relation to geometric properties, especially in the context of conformal geometry.
Nodoid
"Nodoid" typically refers to a type of geometric figure that has been studied in mathematics, particularly in the fields of topology and differential geometry. A nodoid can be visualized as a surface that resembles a smooth, elongated shape with one or more "nodes" or points that can represent local maxima or minima in curvature.
Non-Euclidean surface growth
Non-Euclidean surface growth refers to the processes and phenomena associated with the formation and evolution of surfaces that do not conform to the rules of Euclidean geometry. Unlike traditional surfaces that are flat (two-dimensional surfaces in Euclidean space), non-Euclidean surfaces can have curvature, meaning they can be shaped in ways that do not adhere to the familiar properties of flat planes.
Order-2 apeirogonal tiling
Order-2 apeirogonal tiling refers to a specific type of tiling pattern in the study of geometry, particularly in the context of regular tiling in the Euclidean plane or in hyperbolic spaces. The term "apeirogon" refers to a polygon with an infinite number of sides, which is a theoretical construct.
The Order-5 Icosahedral 120-cell honeycomb is a highly complex and fascinating structure in the field of mathematics and geometry, specifically in the study of higher-dimensional spaces and tessellations. To break it down: 1. **Icosahedral**: This term relates to the icosahedron, which is a polyhedron with 20 triangular faces. It is one of the five Platonic solids and is known for its symmetry and geometric properties.
Orthogonal circles
Orthogonal circles are two circles that intersect at right angles. This means that the tangents to the circles at the points of intersection are perpendicular to each other. Mathematically, if you have two circles defined by their equations, say: 1. Circle \( C_1 \): \( (x - a_1)^2 + (y - b_1)^2 = r_1^2 \) 2.
Padovan cuboid spiral
The Padovan cuboid spiral is a geometric figure that extends the concept of the Padovan sequence into three dimensions. The Padovan sequence is defined by the recurrence relation \( P(n) = P(n-2) + P(n-3) \) with initial values \( P(0) = 1 \), \( P(1) = 1 \), and \( P(2) = 1 \). Subsequent values can be derived from these.
The pentagrammic-order 600-cell honeycomb is a specific arrangement in a higher-dimensional space, specifically in 4-dimensional space (4D). This structure is part of a broader category known as honeycombs, which are tessellations of space using polytopes (the generalization of polygons and polyhedra to higher dimensions).
Piecewise algebraic space
A **piecewise algebraic space** is a concept in algebraic geometry that may be part of a broader discussion around algebraic spaces or schemes over a certain base. The idea generally involves spaces that can be described in terms of algebraic structures but are constructed from several pieces or segments that may be defined piecewise, much like how piecewise functions in calculus are defined.
Planar projection
Planar projection, often referred to in fields such as cartography, geometry, and computer graphics, involves representing a three-dimensional object or surface onto a two-dimensional plane. This technique is used to simplify complex shapes and facilitate visualization, measurement, and analysis. ### Key Aspects of Planar Projection: 1. **Types of Projection**: - **Orthographic Projection**: Displays objects in a way that preserves their true dimensions, typically showing multiple sides simultaneously without perspective.
