  2. Hyperbola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbola

    Hyperbola: the midpoints of parallel chords lie on a line. Hyperbola: the midpoint of a chord is the midpoint of the corresponding chord of the asymptotes. The midpoints of parallel chords of a hyperbola lie on a line through the center (see diagram). The points of any chord may lie on different branches of the hyperbola.

  3. Hyperboloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperboloid

    In geometry, a hyperboloid of revolution, sometimes called a circular hyperboloid, is the surface generated by rotating a hyperbola around one of its principal axes.A hyperboloid is the surface obtained from a hyperboloid of revolution by deforming it by means of directional scalings, or more generally, of an affine transformation.

  4. Hyperbolic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_geometry

    This model has direct application to special relativity, as Minkowski 3-space is a model for spacetime, suppressing one spatial dimension. One can take the hyperboloid to represent the events (positions in spacetime) that various inertially moving observers, starting from a common event, will reach in a fixed proper time .

  5. Hyperbolic growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_growth

    Growth equations. Like exponential growth and logistic growth, hyperbolic growth is highly nonlinear, but differs in important respects.These functions can be confused, as exponential growth, hyperbolic growth, and the first half of logistic growth are convex functions; however their asymptotic behavior (behavior as input gets large) differs dramatically:

  6. Hyperbolic functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_functions

    Circle and hyperbola tangent at (1,1) display geometry of circular functions in terms of circular sector area u and hyperbolic functions depending on hyperbolic sector area u. The hyperbolic functions represent an expansion of trigonometry beyond the circular functions. Both types depend on an argument, either circular angle or hyperbolic angle.

  7. Hyperboloid structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperboloid_structure

    Hyperbolic structures have a negative Gaussian curvature, meaning they curve inward rather than curving outward or being straight.As doubly ruled surfaces, they can be made with a lattice of straight beams, hence are easier to build than curved surfaces that do not have a ruling and must instead be built with curved beams.

  8. Hyperbolastic functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolastic_functions

    The precision of hyperbolastic functions in modeling real world problems is somewhat due to their flexibility in their point of inflection. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] These functions can be used in a wide variety of modeling problems such as tumor growth, stem cell proliferation, pharma kinetics, cancer growth, sigmoid activation function in neural networks ...

  9. Constructions in hyperbolic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructions_in...

    Hyperbolic geometry is a non-Euclidean geometry where the first four axioms of Euclidean geometry are kept but the fifth axiom, the parallel postulate, is changed.The fifth axiom of hyperbolic geometry says that given a line L and a point P not on that line, there are at least two lines passing through P that are parallel to L.
