An antenna mast with four collinear directional arrays. In telecommunications, a collinear (or co-linear) antenna array is an array of dipole antennas mounted in such a manner that the corresponding elements of each antenna are parallel and aligned, that is they are located along a common line or axis.
In physics, Lami's theorem is an equation relating the magnitudes of three coplanar, concurrent and non-collinear vectors, which keeps an object in static equilibrium, with the angles directly opposite to the corresponding vectors.
This occurs if the lines are parallel, or if they intersect each other. Two lines that are not coplanar are called skew lines . Distance geometry provides a solution technique for the problem of determining whether a set of points is coplanar, knowing only the distances between them.
The position vector as measured in each frame is split into components parallel and perpendicular to the relative velocity vector v. Left: Standard configuration. Right: Inverse configuration. The use of vectors allows positions and velocities to be expressed in arbitrary directions compactly.
For collinear velocities interpreted as rapidity, the sum formula is simple addition. According to Minkowski, the time-like vector ( zeitartiger Vektor ) for a given duration lies on a hyperbola. Since the hyperbola is traced by a hyperbolic angle , and velocity determines a point on the hyperbola, there is a hyperbolic angle called rapidity ...
This form may be more useful when two vectors defining a plane are involved. An example in physics is the Thomas precession which includes the rotation given by Rodrigues' formula, in terms of two non-collinear boost velocities, and the axis of rotation is perpendicular to their plane.
Points that are incident with the same line are said to be collinear. The set of all points incident with the same line is called a range. If P 1 = (x 1, y 1, z 1), P 2 = (x 2, y 2, z 2), and P 3 = (x 3, y 3, z 3), then these points are collinear if and only if
However, parallel (non-crossing) pairs of lines are less restricted in hyperbolic line arrangements than in the Euclidean plane: in particular, the relation of being parallel is an equivalence relation for Euclidean lines but not for hyperbolic lines. [51] The intersection graph of the lines in a hyperbolic arrangement can be an arbitrary ...
