    If the disk is massive enough the runaway accretions begin, resulting in the rapid—100,000 to 300,000 years—formation of Moon- to Mars-sized planetary embryos. Near the star, the planetary embryos go through a stage of violent mergers, producing a few terrestrial planets. The last stage takes around 100 million to a billion years.

  3. Binary tiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_tiling

    A binary tiling (red outline) and its dual tiling (yellow curved triangles and blue and green curved quadrilaterals) The dual tilings of the binary tilings are formed by choosing a reference point within each tile of a binary tiling, and connecting pairs of reference points of tiles that share an edge with each other. They are not monohedral ...

  5. Continuum percolation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuum_percolation_theory

    In the early 1960s Edgar Gilbert [3] proposed a mathematical model in wireless networks that gave rise to the field of continuum percolation theory, thus generalizing discrete percolation. [2] The underlying points of this model, sometimes known as the Gilbert disk model, were scattered uniformly in the infinite plane ℝ 2 according to a ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Horocycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horocycle

    A blue horocycle in the Poincaré disk model and some red normals. The normals converge asymptotically to the upper central ideal point.. In hyperbolic geometry, a horocycle (from Greek roots meaning "boundary circle"), sometimes called an oricycle or limit circle, is a curve of constant curvature where all the perpendicular geodesics through a point on a horocycle are limiting parallel, and ...

    Many hyperbolic lines through point P not intersecting line a in the Beltrami Klein model A hyperbolic triheptagonal tiling in a Beltrami–Klein model projection. In geometry, the Beltrami–Klein model, also called the projective model, Klein disk model, and the Cayley–Klein model, is a model of hyperbolic geometry in which points are represented by the points in the interior of the unit ...

  9. External memory algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_memory_algorithm

    The external memory model is an abstract machine similar to the RAM machine model, but with a cache in addition to main memory. The model captures the fact that read and write operations are much faster in a cache than in main memory, and that reading long contiguous blocks is faster than reading randomly using a disk read-and-write head.
