  2. Distance (graph theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_(graph_theory)

    The eccentricity ϵ(v) of a vertex v is the greatest distance between v and any other vertex; in symbols, = (,). It can be thought of as how far a node is from the node most distant from it in the graph. The radius r of a graph is the minimum eccentricity of any vertex or, in symbols,

  3. Centered tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centered_tree

    The numbers show each node's eccentricity. In the mathematical subfield of graph theory, a centered tree is a tree with only one center, and a bicentered tree is a tree with two centers. Given a graph, the eccentricity of a vertex v is defined as the greatest distance from v to any other vertex. A center of a graph is a vertex with minimal ...

  4. Graph center - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_center

    Each black vertex is a distance of at least 4 from some other vertex. The center (or Jordan center [ 1 ] ) of a graph is the set of all vertices of minimum eccentricity , [ 2 ] that is, the set of all vertices u where the greatest distance d ( u , v ) to other vertices v is minimal.

  5. Eccentricity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eccentricity_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, the eccentricity of a conic section is a non-negative real number that uniquely characterizes its shape. One can think of the eccentricity as a measure of how much a conic section deviates from being circular. In particular: The eccentricity of a circle is 0. The eccentricity of an ellipse which is not a circle is between 0 and 1.

  6. Glossary of graph theory - Wikipedia

    Vertex separation number is a synonym for pathwidth. sibling In a rooted tree, a sibling of a vertex v is a vertex which has the same parent vertex as v. simple 1. A simple graph is a graph without loops and without multiple adjacencies. That is, each edge connects two distinct endpoints and no two edges have the same endpoints.

    Horizontal eccentricity, in vision, degrees of visual angle from the center of the eye; Eccentric contraction, the lengthening of muscle fibers; Eccentric position of a surveying tripod, to be able to measure hidden points; Eccentric training, the motion of an active muscle while it is lengthening under load; Eccentricity, a deviation from ...

  8. Hyperbola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbola

    Let f be the distance from the vertex V (on both the hyperbola and its axis through the two foci) to the nearer focus. Then the distance, along a line perpendicular to that axis, from that focus to a point P on the hyperbola is greater than 2f. The tangent to the hyperbola at P intersects that axis at point Q at an angle ∠PQV of greater than ...

  9. Semi-major and semi-minor axes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-major_and_semi-minor_axes

    (Given the lunar orbit's eccentricity e = 0.0549, its semi-minor axis is 383,800 km. Thus the Moon's orbit is almost circular.) The barycentric lunar orbit, on the other hand, has a semi-major axis of 379,730 km, the Earth's counter-orbit taking up the difference, 4,670 km. The Moon's average barycentric orbital speed is 1.010 km/s, whilst the ...
