  2. Root locus analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_locus_analysis

    RL = root locus; ZARL = zero angle root locus. Using a few basic rules, the root locus method can plot the overall shape of the path (locus) traversed by the roots as the value of varies. The plot of the root locus then gives an idea of the stability and dynamics of this feedback system for different values of .

  3. Vincenty's formulae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincenty's_formulae

    If the initial point is at the North or South pole, then the first equation is indeterminate. If the initial azimuth is due East or West, then the second equation is indeterminate. If the standard 2-argument arctangent atan2 function is used, then these values are usually handled correctly. [clarification needed]

  4. Snellius–Pothenot problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snellius–Pothenot_problem

    In trigonometry, the Snellius–Pothenot problem is a problem first described in the context of planar surveying.Given three known points A, B, C, an observer at an unknown point P observes that the line segment AC subtends an angle α and the segment CB subtends an angle β; the problem is to determine the position of the point P.

  5. Closed-loop pole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-loop_pole

    In root-locus design, the gain K is usually parameterized. Each point on the locus satisfies the angle condition and magnitude condition and corresponds to a different value of K. For negative feedback systems, the closed-loop poles move along the root-locus from the open-loop poles to the open-loop zeroes as the gain is increased

  6. Approach and departure angles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approach_and_departure_angles

    Approach (α) and departure angle (β) of a vehicle. Approach angle is the maximum angle of a ramp onto which a vehicle can climb from a horizontal plane without interference. [1] It is defined as the angle between the ground and the line drawn between the front tire and the lowest-hanging part of the vehicle at the front overhang.

  7. 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. Geometrical properties of polynomial roots - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrical_properties_of...

    For simple roots, this results immediately from the implicit function theorem. This is true also for multiple roots, but some care is needed for the proof. A small change of coefficients may induce a dramatic change of the roots, including the change of a real root into a complex root with a rather large imaginary part (see Wilkinson's polynomial).

  9. Pole–zero plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole–zero_plot

    A pole-zero plot shows the location in the complex plane of the poles and zeros of the transfer function of a dynamic system, such as a controller, compensator, sensor, equalizer, filter, or communications channel. By convention, the poles of the system are indicated in the plot by an X while the zeros are indicated by a circle or O.
