  2. Hyperbolic metric space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_metric_space

    If for any point [,] there is a point in [,] [,] at distance less than of , and similarly for points on the other edges, and then the triangle is said to be -slim. A definition of a δ {\displaystyle \delta } -hyperbolic space is then a geodesic metric space all of whose geodesic triangles are δ {\displaystyle \delta } -slim.

  3. Hyperbolic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_geometry

    The hyperbolic distance between two points on the hyperboloid can then be identified with the relative rapidity between the two corresponding observers. The model generalizes directly to an additional dimension: a hyperbolic 3-space three-dimensional hyperbolic geometry relates to Minkowski 4-space.

  4. Hyperbola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbola

    3-point-form of a hyperbola's equation — The equation of the hyperbola determined by 3 points = (,), =,,, ,, is the solution of the equation () () = () () for . As an affine image of the unit hyperbola x 2 − y 2 = 1

  5. Coordinate systems for the hyperbolic plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate_systems_for_the...

    Choose a line (the x-axis) in the hyperbolic plane (with a standardized curvature of -1) and label the points on it by their distance from an origin (x=0) point on the x-axis (positive on one side and negative on the other). For any point in the plane, one can define coordinates x and y by dropping a perpendicular onto the x-axis.

  6. Hyperboloid model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperboloid_model

    Then n-dimensional hyperbolic space is a Riemannian space and distance or length can be defined as the square root of the scalar square. If the signature (+, −, −) is chosen, scalar square between distinct points on the hyperboloid will be negative, so various definitions of basic terms must be adjusted, which can be inconvenient.

  7. Poincaré metric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincaré_metric

    It is the natural metric commonly used in a variety of calculations in hyperbolic geometry or Riemann surfaces. There are three equivalent representations commonly used in two-dimensional hyperbolic geometry. One is the Poincaré half-plane model, defining a model of hyperbolic space on the upper half-plane.

  8. Poincaré half-plane model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincaré_half-plane_model

    The metric of the model on the half-plane, { , >}, is: = + ()where s measures the length along a (possibly curved) line. The straight lines in the hyperbolic plane (geodesics for this metric tensor, i.e., curves which minimize the distance) are represented in this model by circular arcs perpendicular to the x-axis (half-circles whose centers are on the x-axis) and straight vertical rays ...

  9. Hyperbolic coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_coordinates

    Hyperbolic coordinates plotted on the Euclidean plane: all points on the same blue ray share the same coordinate value u, and all points on the same red hyperbola share the same coordinate value v. In mathematics, hyperbolic coordinates are a method of locating points in quadrant I of the Cartesian plane
