  2. Elliptical distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptical_distribution

    Computational methods are available for generating pseudo-random vectors from elliptical distributions, for use in Monte Carlo simulations for example. [3] Some elliptical distributions are alternatively defined in terms of their density functions. An elliptical distribution with a density function f has the form:

    Finally they are geodesic ellipses and hyperbolas defined using two adjacent umbilical points (Hilbert & Cohn-Vossen 1952, p. 188). For example, the lines of constant β in Fig. 17 can be generated with the familiar string construction for ellipses with the ends of the string pinned to the two umbilical points.

  4. Circle–ellipse problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle–ellipse_problem

    In the present example, the set of circles is a subset of the set of ellipses; circles can be defined as ellipses whose major and minor axes are the same length. Thus, code written in an object-oriented language that models shapes will frequently choose to make class Circle a subclass of class Ellipse , i.e. inheriting from it.

  5. Ellipsoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipsoid

    Plane section of an ellipsoid (see example) Given: Ellipsoid ⁠ x 2 / a 2 ⁠ + ⁠ y 2 / b 2 ⁠ + ⁠ z 2 / c 2 ⁠ = 1 and the plane with equation n x x + n y y + n z z = d, which have an ellipse in common. Wanted: Three vectors f 0 (center) and f 1, f 2 (conjugate vectors), such that the ellipse can be represented by the parametric equation

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Circle–ellipse_problem

    · Define the class AccidentalCircle as subclass of Ellipse. Use it when a change of parameters might make the object a non-circle. That is: the object is created as an ellipse, of class Ellipse; the object is also an object of class AccidentalCircle only if its parameters allow it to be a circle (for example, equal axes).

  7. Principal axis theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_axis_theorem

    For example, the maximum distance from the origin on the ellipse + = occurs when c 2 = 0, so at the points c 1 = ±1. Similarly, the minimum distance is where c 2 = ±1/3 . It is possible now to read off the major and minor axes of this ellipse.

  8. Ozone depletion is a separate problem caused by chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) [233] which have been released into the atmosphere. [234] However, CFCs are strong greenhouse gases . [ 235 ] [ 236 ] Further, the hole in the ozone layer is shrinking and in 2019 was the smallest it had been since 1982, [ 237 ] [ 238 ] while global warming continues.

  9. Elliptic boundary value problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Elliptic_boundary_value_problem

    In mathematics, an elliptic boundary value problem is a special kind of boundary value problem which can be thought of as the steady state of an evolution problem. For example, the Dirichlet problem for the Laplacian gives the eventual distribution of heat in a room several hours after the heating is turned on.
