  2. Hyperbolic coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_coordinates

    For example, in thermodynamics the isothermal process explicitly follows the hyperbolic path and work can be interpreted as a hyperbolic angle change. Similarly, a given mass M of gas with changing volume will have variable density δ = M / V , and the ideal gas law may be written P = k T δ so that an isobaric process traces a hyperbola in the ...

  3. Hyperbolic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_geometry

    Compared to Euclidean geometry, hyperbolic geometry presents many difficulties for a coordinate system: the angle sum of a quadrilateral is always less than 360°; there are no equidistant lines, so a proper rectangle would need to be enclosed by two lines and two hypercycles; parallel-transporting a line segment around a quadrilateral causes ...

  4. Hyperbola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbola

    Hyperbola (red): features. In mathematics, a hyperbola is a type of smooth curve lying in a plane, defined by its geometric properties or by equations for which it is the solution set. A hyperbola has two pieces, called connected components or branches, that are mirror images of each other and resemble two infinite bows.

  5. Coordinate systems for the hyperbolic plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate_systems_for_the...

    The sum of the angles of a quadrilateral in hyperbolic geometry is always less than 4 right angles (see Lambert quadrilateral). Also in hyperbolic geometry there are no equidistant lines (see hypercycles). This all has influences on the coordinate systems. There are however different coordinate systems for hyperbolic plane geometry.

  6. Unit hyperbola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_hyperbola

    The unit hyperbola is blue, its conjugate is green, and the asymptotes are red. In geometry, the unit hyperbola is the set of points (x,y) in the Cartesian plane that satisfy the implicit equation = In the study of indefinite orthogonal groups, the unit hyperbola forms the basis for an alternative radial length

  7. Hyperbolic metric space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_metric_space

    Since the curvature is multiplied by we see that in this example the more (negatively) curved the space is, the lower the hyperbolicity constant. Similar examples are CAT spaces of negative curvature. While curvature is a property that is essentially local, hyperbolicity is a large-scale property which does not see local (i.e. happening in a ...

  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.
