  2. Borda count - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borda_Count

    This is an example of what Narodytska and Walsh call "rounding up". Tournament Borda: each candidate receives half a point for every other candidate they are tied with, in addition to a whole point for every candidate they are strictly preferred to. In the example, suppose that a voter is indifferent between Andrew and Brian, preferring both to ...

  3. Focal point (game theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focal_point_(game_theory)

    Focal points can also have real-life applications. For example, imagine two bicycles headed towards each other and in danger of crashing. Avoiding collision becomes a coordination game where each player's winning choice depends on the other player's choice.

  4. Saddle point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddle_point

    A simple criterion for checking if a given stationary point of a real-valued function F(x,y) of two real variables is a saddle point is to compute the function's Hessian matrix at that point: if the Hessian is indefinite, then that point is a saddle point. For example, the Hessian matrix of the function = at the stationary point (,,) = (,,) is ...

  5. Vanishing point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanishing_point

    The vanishing point may also be referred to as the "direction point", as lines having the same directional vector, say D, will have the same vanishing point. Mathematically, let q ≡ ( x , y , f ) be a point lying on the image plane, where f is the focal length (of the camera associated with the image), and let v q ≡ ( ⁠ x / h ⁠ , ⁠ y ...

  6. Locus (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locus_(mathematics)

    Each curve in this example is a locus defined as the conchoid of the point P and the line l.In this example, P is 8 cm from l. In geometry, a locus (plural: loci) (Latin word for "place", "location") is a set of all points (commonly, a line, a line segment, a curve or a surface), whose location satisfies or is determined by one or more specified conditions.

  8. Real image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_image

    A real image is the collection of focus points actually made by converging/diverging rays, while a virtual image is the collection of focus points made by extensions of diverging or converging rays. In other words, a real image is an image which is located in the plane of convergence for the light rays that originate from a given object.

  9. Point at infinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_at_infinity

    The real line with the point at infinity; it is called the real projective line. In geometry, a point at infinity or ideal point is an idealized limiting point at the "end" of each line. In the case of an affine plane (including the Euclidean plane), there is one ideal point for each pencil of parallel lines of the plane.
