  2. Hilbert's sixth problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_sixth_problem

    Hilbert’s sixth problem was a proposal to expand the axiomatic method outside the existing mathematical disciplines, to physics and beyond. This expansion requires development of semantics of physics with formal analysis of the notion of physical reality that should be done. [ 9 ]

  3. Bifurcation diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bifurcation_diagram

    An example is the bifurcation diagram of the logistic map: + = (). The bifurcation parameter r is shown on the horizontal axis of the plot and the vertical axis shows the set of values of the logistic function visited asymptotically from almost all initial conditions.

  4. Phase space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_space

    In thermodynamics and statistical mechanics contexts, the term "phase space" has two meanings: for one, it is used in the same sense as in classical mechanics. If a thermodynamic system consists of N particles, then a point in the 6 N -dimensional phase space describes the dynamic state of every particle in that system, as each particle is ...

  5. Gömböc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gömböc

    For example, the first solution of Domokos and Várkonyi closely resembled a sphere, with a shape deviation of only 10 −5. It was dismissed as it was tough to test experimentally. [ 8 ] The first physically produced example is less sensitive; yet it has a shape tolerance of 10 −3 , that is 0.1 mm for a 10 cm size.

  6. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    And these systems of the mathematics convention may measure the azimuthal angle counterclockwise (i.e., from the south direction x-axis, or 180°, towards the east direction y-axis, or +90°)—rather than measure clockwise (i.e., from the north direction x-axis, or 0°, towards the east direction y-axis, or +90°), as done in the horizontal ...

  7. Tennis racket theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennis_racket_theorem

    This can be demonstrated by the following experiment: Hold a tennis racket at its handle, with its face being horizontal, and throw it in the air such that it performs a full rotation around its horizontal axis perpendicular to the handle (ê 2 in the diagram), and then catch the handle. In almost all cases, during that rotation the face will ...

  8. Falling cat problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falling_cat_problem

    A solution of the falling cat problem is a curve in the configuration space that is horizontal with respect to the connection (that is, it is admissible by the physics) with prescribed initial and final configurations. Finding an optimal solution is an example of optimal motion planning. [11] [12]

  9. Rotating reference frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_reference_frame

    An everyday example of a rotating reference frame is the surface of the Earth. (This article considers only frames rotating about a fixed axis. For more general rotations, see Euler angles.) In the inertial frame of reference (upper part of the picture), the black ball moves in a straight line.
