  2. Mean line segment length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_line_segment_length

    The first two values, Δ(1) and Δ(2), refer to the unit line segment and unit square respectively. For the three-dimensional case, the mean line segment length of a unit cube is also known as Robbins constant, named after David P. Robbins. This constant has a closed form, [6]

  3. Distance from a point to a line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Distance_from_a_point_to_a_line

    In the case of a line in the plane given by the equation ax + by + c = 0, where a, b and c are real constants with a and b not both zero, the distance from the line to a point (x 0,y 0) is [1] [2]: p.14

  4. No-three-in-line problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-three-in-line_problem

    A set of 20 points in a 10 × 10 grid, with no three points in a line. The no-three-in-line problem in discrete geometry asks how many points can be placed in the grid so that no three points lie on the same line.

  5. Euclidean distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_distance

    That is (unlike road distance with one-way streets) the distance between two points does not depend on which of the two points is the start and which is the destination. [ 11 ] It is positive , meaning that the distance between every two distinct points is a positive number , while the distance from any point to itself is zero.

  6. Identity line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_line

    The Keynesian cross diagram includes an identity line to show states in which aggregate demand equals output. In a 2-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, with x representing the abscissa and y the ordinate, the identity line [1] [2] or line of equality [3] is the y = x line. The line, sometimes called the 1:1 line, has a slope of 1. [4]

  7. Relational operator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_operator

    two different references to the same object, e.g., two nicknames for the same person; In many modern programming languages, objects and data structures are accessed through references. In such languages, there becomes a need to test for two different types of equality: Location equality (identity): if two references (A and B) reference the same ...

  8. Smallest-circle problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallest-circle_problem

    Both Fortran and C codes are available from Hearn, Vijay & Nickel (1995). [14] The smallest sphere problem can be formulated as a quadratic program [1] defined by a system of linear constraints with a convex quadratic objective function. Therefore, any feasible direction algorithm can give the solution of the problem. [15]

  9. Equipollence (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equipollence_(geometry)

    Two segments are said to be equipollent when they have the same length and direction. Two equipollent segments are parallel but not necessarily colinear nor overlapping , and vice versa. For example, a segment AB , from point A to point B , has the opposite direction to segment BA ; thus AB and BA are not equipollent.
