  2. Inversive geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversive_geometry

    P ' is the inverse of P with respect to the circle. To invert a number in arithmetic usually means to take its reciprocal. A closely related idea in geometry is that of "inverting" a point. In the plane, the inverse of a point P with respect to a reference circle (Ø) with center O and radius r is a point P ', lying on the ray from O through P ...

  4. Moore–Penrose inverse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore–Penrose_inverse

    In mathematics, and in particular linear algebra, the Moore–Penrose inverse ⁠ + ⁠ of a matrix ⁠ ⁠, often called the pseudoinverse, is the most widely known generalization of the inverse matrix. [1] It was independently described by E. H. Moore in 1920, [2] Arne Bjerhammar in 1951, [3] and Roger Penrose in 1955. [4]

  5. Group (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Symmetry groups are groups consisting of symmetries of given mathematical objects, principally geometric entities, such as the symmetry group of the square given as an introductory example above, although they also arise in algebra such as the symmetries among the roots of polynomial equations dealt with in Galois theory (see below). [51]

  6. Inverse curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_curve

    In inversive geometry, an inverse curve of a given curve C is the result of applying an inverse operation to C. Specifically, with respect to a fixed circle with center O and radius k the inverse of a point Q is the point P for which P lies on the ray OQ and OP·OQ = k 2. The inverse of the curve C is then the locus of P as Q runs over C.

  7. Involution (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The graph of an involution (on the real numbers) is symmetric across the line y = x. This is due to the fact that the inverse of any general function will be its reflection over the line y = x. This can be seen by "swapping" x with y. If, in particular, the function is an involution, then its graph is its own reflection.

  8. Inverse function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_function

    The square root of x is a partial inverse to f(x) = x 2. Even if a function f is not one-to-one, it may be possible to define a partial inverse of f by restricting the domain. For example, the function = is not one-to-one, since x 2 = (−x) 2.

  9. Sherman–Morrison formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherman–Morrison_formula

    ) To prove that the backward direction + + is invertible with inverse given as above) is true, we verify the properties of the inverse. A matrix Y {\displaystyle Y} (in this case the right-hand side of the Sherman–Morrison formula) is the inverse of a matrix X {\displaystyle X} (in this case A + u v T {\displaystyle A+uv^{\textsf {T}}} ) if ...
