  2. Missing square puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_square_puzzle

    A true 13×5 triangle cannot be created from the given component parts. The four figures (the yellow, red, blue and green shapes) total 32 units of area. The apparent triangles formed from the figures are 13 units wide and 5 units tall, so it appears that the area should be S = ⁠ 13×5 / 2 ⁠ = 32.5 units.

  3. Space-filling curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-filling_curve

    It was common to associate the vague notions of thinness and 1-dimensionality to curves; all normally encountered curves were piecewise differentiable (that is, have piecewise continuous derivatives), and such curves cannot fill up the entire unit square. Therefore, Peano's space-filling curve was found to be highly counterintuitive.

  4. Flood fill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_fill

    Flood fill, also called seed fill, is a flooding algorithm that determines and alters the area connected to a given node in a multi-dimensional array with some matching attribute. It is used in the "bucket" fill tool of paint programs to fill connected, similarly colored areas with a different color, and in games such as Go and Minesweeper for ...

  5. Differential geometry of surfaces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_geometry_of...

    Although conventions vary in their precise definition, these form a general class of subsets of three-dimensional Euclidean space (ℝ 3) which capture part of the familiar notion of "surface." By analyzing the class of curves which lie on such a surface, and the degree to which the surfaces force them to curve in ℝ 3 , one can associate to ...

  6. Partial geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_geometry

    It is a partial geometry if there are integers,, such that: For any pair of distinct points p {\displaystyle p} and ⁠ q {\displaystyle q} ⁠ , there is at most one line incident with both of them.

  7. Block Elements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_Elements

    Block Elements is a Unicode block containing square block symbols of various fill and shading. Used along with block elements are box-drawing characters, shade characters, and terminal graphic characters. These can be used for filling regions of the screen and portraying drop shadows.

  8. Convex set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_set

    Illustration of a non-convex set. The line segment joining points x and y partially extends outside of the set, illustrated in red, and the intersection of the set with the line occurs in two places, illustrated in black. In geometry, a set of points is convex if it contains every line segment between two points in the set.

    The Peres–Horodecki criterion is a necessary condition, for the joint density matrix of two quantum mechanical systems and , to be separable.It is also called the PPT criterion, for positive partial transpose.
