  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. Hill's muscle model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill's_muscle_model

    Hill's elastic muscle model. F: Force; CE: Contractile Element; SE: Series Element; PE: Parallel Element. The three-element Hill muscle model is a representation of the muscle mechanical response. The model is constituted by a contractile element (CE) and two non-linear spring elements, one in series (SE) and another in parallel (PE).

    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 .

  5. Non-uniform rational B-spline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-uniform_rational_B-spline

    Non-uniform rational basis spline (NURBS) is a mathematical model using basis splines (B-splines) that is commonly used in computer graphics for representing curves and surfaces. It offers great flexibility and precision for handling both analytic (defined by common mathematical formulae ) and modeled shapes .

  6. 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.

  7. Geometric primitive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_primitive

    The software is expected to interpolate the intervening shape of the line between adjacent points in the list as a parametric curve, most commonly a straight line, but other types of curves are frequently available, including circular arcs, cubic splines, and Bézier curves. Some of these curves require additional points to be defined that are ...

  8. 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).

  9. 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.
