  2. Curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve

    A plane simple closed curve is also called a Jordan curve. It is also defined as a non-self-intersecting continuous loop in the plane. [9] The Jordan curve theorem states that the set complement in a plane of a Jordan curve consists of two connected components (that is the curve divides the plane in two non-intersecting regions that are both ...

  3. Simple polygon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_polygon

    Parts of a simple polygon. A simple polygon is a closed curve in the Euclidean plane consisting of straight line segments, meeting end-to-end to form a polygonal chain. [1] Two line segments meet at every endpoint, and there are no other points of intersection between the line segments.

  4. Road curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_curve

    Similar curves are on railways and canals. Curves provided in the horizontal plane are known as horizontal curves and are generally circular or parabolic. Curves provided in the vertical plane are known as vertical curve. Five types of horizontal curves on roads and railways: Simple curve; Compound curve; Transition curve; Reverse curve ...

  5. Arc length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_length

    Thus the length of a curve is a non-negative real number. Usually no curves are considered which are partly spacelike and partly timelike. In theory of relativity, arc length of timelike curves (world lines) is the proper time elapsed along the world line, and arc length of a spacelike curve the proper distance along the curve.

  6. Geometric primitive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_primitive

    In constructive solid geometry, primitives are simple geometric shapes such as a cube, cylinder, sphere, cone, pyramid, torus. Modern 2D computer graphics systems may operate with primitives which are curves (segments of straight lines, circles and more complicated curves), as well as shapes (boxes, arbitrary polygons, circles).

  7. Graph (discrete mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_(discrete_mathematics)

    A graph with three vertices and three edges. A graph (sometimes called an undirected graph to distinguish it from a directed graph, or a simple graph to distinguish it from a multigraph) [4] [5] is a pair G = (V, E), where V is a set whose elements are called vertices (singular: vertex), and E is a set of unordered pairs {,} of vertices, whose elements are called edges (sometimes links or lines).

    The ribbon (,) is called simple if is a simple curve (i.e. without self-intersections) and closed and if and all its derivatives agree at and .For any simple closed ribbon the curves + given parametrically by () + are, for all sufficiently small positive , simple closed curves disjoint from .
