  2. Hyperbola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbola

    Hyperbola: the midpoints of parallel chords lie on a line. Hyperbola: the midpoint of a chord is the midpoint of the corresponding chord of the asymptotes. The midpoints of parallel chords of a hyperbola lie on a line through the center (see diagram). The points of any chord may lie on different branches of the hyperbola.

  3. Hyperbolic functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_functions

    A ray through the unit hyperbola x 2 − y 2 = 1 at the point (cosh a, sinh a), where a is twice the area between the ray, the hyperbola, and the x-axis. For points on the hyperbola below the x-axis, the area is considered negative (see animated version with comparison with the trigonometric (circular) functions).

  4. Pell's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pell's_equation

    where a and c are fixed numbers, and x and y are the variables to be solved for. This equation is different in form from Pell's equation but equivalent to it. Diophantus solved the equation for (a, c) equal to (1, 1), (1, −1), (1, 12), and (3, 9). Al-Karaji, a 10th-century Persian mathematician, worked on similar problems to Diophantus. [10]

  5. Hyperbolic partial differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_partial...

    [citation needed] More precisely, the Cauchy problem can be locally solved for arbitrary initial data along any non-characteristic hypersurface. Many of the equations of mechanics are hyperbolic, and so the study of hyperbolic equations is of substantial contemporary interest. The model hyperbolic equation is the wave equation.

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

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

    The transverse axis of a hyperbola coincides with the major axis. [ 4 ] In a hyperbola, a conjugate axis or minor axis of length 2 b {\displaystyle 2b} , corresponding to the minor axis of an ellipse, can be drawn perpendicular to the transverse axis or major axis, the latter connecting the two vertices (turning points) of the hyperbola, with ...

  7. Split-complex number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-complex_number

    This formula can be derived from a power series expansion using the fact that cosh has only even powers while that for sinh has odd powers. [2] For all real values of the hyperbolic angle θ the split-complex number λ = exp(jθ) has norm 1 and lies on the right branch of the unit hyperbola.

  8. Vieta jumping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vieta_jumping

    Assume there is some lattice point (x, y) on some hyperbola and without loss of generality x < y. Then by Vieta's formulas, there is a corresponding lattice point with the same x-coordinate on the other branch of the hyperbola, and by reflection through y = x a new point on the original branch of the hyperbola is obtained.

  9. Dirichlet hyperbola method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet_hyperbola_method

    In the Cartesian plane, these pairs lie on a hyperbola, and when the double sum is fully expanded, there is a bijection between the terms of the sum and the lattice points in the first quadrant on the hyperbolas of the form xy = k, where k runs over the integers 1 ≤ k ≤ n: for each such point (x,y), the sum contains a term g(x)h(y), and ...
