  2. Dual curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_curve

    Let Xx + Yy + Zz = 0 be the equation of a line, with (X, Y, Z) being designated its line coordinates in a dual projective plane. The condition that the line is tangent to the curve can be expressed in the form F(X, Y, Z) = 0 which is the tangential equation of the curve. At a point (p, q, r) on the curve, the tangent is given by

  3. Ackermann steering geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ackermann_steering_geometry

    The intention of Ackermann geometry is to avoid the need for tyres to slip sideways when following the path around a curve. [2] The geometrical solution to this is for all wheels to have their axles arranged as radii of circles with a common centre point. As the rear wheels are fixed, this centre point must be on a line extended from the rear axle.

  4. Plücker formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plücker_formula

    A curve in this context is defined by a non-degenerate algebraic equation in the complex projective plane.Lines in this plane correspond to points in the dual projective plane and the lines tangent to a given algebraic curve C correspond to points in an algebraic curve C * called the dual curve.

    The tangential equation of a plane curve is an equation giving the condition for a line to be tangent to the curve. In other words it is the equation of the dual curve. It is not the equation of a tangent to a curve. ternary Depending on three variables, as in ternary form tetrad A set of 4 points tetragram Synonym for complete quadrilateral ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bifurcation_theory

    Phase portrait showing saddle-node bifurcation. Bifurcation theory is the mathematical study of changes in the qualitative or topological structure of a given family of curves, such as the integral curves of a family of vector fields, and the solutions of a family of differential equations.

    We may graphically solve for as the intersection of two curves in the (,) plane: {= + = For fixed ,,, the second curve is a fixed hyperbola in the first quadrant. The first curve is a parabola with shape y = 9 16 β 2 ( z 2 ) 2 {\textstyle y={\tfrac {9}{16}}\beta ^{2}(z^{2})^{2}} , and apex at location ( 4 3 β ( ω 2 − α ) , δ 2 ω 2 ...

  8. Curve fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_fitting

    Fitting of a noisy curve by an asymmetrical peak model, with an iterative process (Gauss–Newton algorithm with variable damping factor α).Curve fitting [1] [2] is the process of constructing a curve, or mathematical function, that has the best fit to a series of data points, [3] possibly subject to constraints.

  9. Elliptic curve point multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_curve_point...

    Given a curve, E, defined by some equation in a finite field (such as E: y 2 = x 3 + ax + b), point multiplication is defined as the repeated addition of a point along that curve. Denote as nP = P + P + P + … + P for some scalar (integer) n and a point P = (x, y) that lies on the curve, E. This type of curve is known as a Weierstrass curve.
