  2. Hyperbolic metric space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_metric_space

    In fact the quantity (A,B) C is just the hyperbolic distance p from C to either of the points of contact of the incircle with the adjacent sides: for from the diagram c = (a – p) + (b – p), so that p = (a + b – c)/2 = (A,B) C. [7] The Euclidean plane is not hyperbolic, for example because of the existence of homotheties.

  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. 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 ...

    where α is a basis vector orthogonal to the hyperboloid axis. For example, he obtained the hyperbolic law of cosines through use of his Algebra of Physics. [1] H. Jansen made the hyperboloid model the explicit focus of his 1909 paper "Representation of hyperbolic geometry on a two sheeted hyperboloid". [15]

    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.

  7. Poincaré disk model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincaré_disk_model

    Poincaré disk with hyperbolic parallel lines Poincaré disk model of the truncated triheptagonal tiling.. In geometry, the Poincaré disk model, also called the conformal disk model, is a model of 2-dimensional hyperbolic geometry in which all points are inside the unit disk, and straight lines are either circular arcs contained within the disk that are orthogonal to the unit circle or ...

  8. Hyperbolic functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_functions

    In mathematics, hyperbolic functions are analogues of the ordinary trigonometric functions, but defined using the hyperbola rather than the circle.Just as the points (cos t, sin t) form a circle with a unit radius, the points (cosh t, sinh t) form the right half of the unit hyperbola.
