  2. Ternary operation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_operation

    In mathematics, a ternary operation is an n-ary operation with n = 3. A ternary operation on a set A takes any given three elements of A and combines them to form a single element of A . In computer science , a ternary operator is an operator that takes three arguments as input and returns one output.

  3. Beckman–Quarles theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beckman–Quarles_theorem

    In geometry, the Beckman–Quarles theorem states that if a transformation of the Euclidean plane or a higher-dimensional Euclidean space preserves unit distances, then it preserves all Euclidean distances. Equivalently, every homomorphism from the unit distance graph of the plane to itself must be an isometry of the plane. The theorem is named ...

  4. Octant (solid geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octant_(solid_geometry)

    The eight (±,±,±) coordinates of the cube vertices are used to denote them. The horizontal plane shows the four quadrants between x- and y-axis. (Vertex numbers are little-endian balanced ternary.) An octant in solid geometry is one of the eight divisions of a Euclidean three-dimensional coordinate system defined

  5. Sierpiński curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierpiński_curve

    Here is a function coded in Java that will compute the relative position of any point on the Sierpiński curve (that is, a pseudo-inverse value). It takes as input the coordinates of the point (x,y) to be inverted, and the corners of an enclosing right isosceles triangle (ax, ay), (bx, by), and (cx, cy).

  6. Two-dimensional space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-dimensional_space

    The most basic example is the flat Euclidean plane, an idealization of a flat surface in physical space such as a sheet of paper or a chalkboard. On the Euclidean plane, any two points can be joined by a unique straight line along which the distance can be measured.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_uniform_tilings...

    In geometry, many uniform tilings on sphere, euclidean plane, and hyperbolic plane can be made by Wythoff construction within a fundamental triangle, (p q r), defined by internal angles as π/p, π/q, and π/r. Special cases are right triangles (p q 2).

  8. Voronoi diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voronoi_diagram

    Let H = {h 1, h 2, ..., h k} be the convex hull of P; then the farthest-point Voronoi diagram is a subdivision of the plane into k cells, one for each point in H, with the property that a point q lies in the cell corresponding to a site h i if and only if d(q, h i) > d(q, p j) for each p j ∈ S with h i ≠ p j, where d(p, q) is the Euclidean ...

  9. Affine geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affine_geometry

    If this property holds in the affine plane defined by a ternary ring, then there is an equivalence relation between "vectors" defined by pairs of points from the plane. [14] Furthermore, the vectors form an abelian group under addition; the ternary ring is linear and satisfies right distributivity: (+) = +.
