  2. Asymptote - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptote

    A common example of a vertical asymptote is the case of a rational function at a point x such that the denominator is zero and the numerator is non-zero. If a function has a vertical asymptote, then it isn't necessarily true that the derivative of the function has a vertical asymptote at the same place. An example is

  3. Asymptotic analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptotic_analysis

    Asymptotic analysis is a key tool for exploring the ordinary and partial differential equations which arise in the mathematical modelling of real-world phenomena. [3] An illustrative example is the derivation of the boundary layer equations from the full Navier-Stokes equations governing fluid flow.

  4. Asymptotology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptotology

    In physics and other fields of science, one frequently comes across problems of an asymptotic nature, such as damping, orbiting, stabilization of a perturbed motion, etc. . Their solutions lend themselves to asymptotic analysis (perturbation theory), which is widely used in modern applied mathematics, mechanics and phy

  5. Curve sketching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_sketching

    Determine the asymptotes of the curve. Also determine from which side the curve approaches the asymptotes and where the asymptotes intersect the curve. [1] Equate first and second derivatives to 0 to find the stationary points and inflection points respectively.

  6. Polynomial and rational function modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_and_rational...

    Unconstrained rational function fitting can, at times, result in undesired vertical asymptotes due to roots in the denominator polynomial. The range of x values affected by the function "blowing up" may be quite narrow, but such asymptotes, when they occur, are a nuisance for local interpolation in the neighborhood of the asymptote point. These ...

  7. Asymptotic curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptotic_curve

    The asymptotic directions are the same as the asymptotes of the hyperbola of the Dupin indicatrix through a hyperbolic point, or the unique asymptote through a parabolic point. [1] An asymptotic direction is a direction along which the normal curvature is zero: take the plane spanned by the direction and the surface's normal at that point. The ...

  8. Gompertz function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gompertz_function

    The inverse function only produces numerical values in the set of real numbers between its two asymptotes, which are now vertical instead of horizontal like in the forward Gompertz function. Outside of the range defined by the vertical asymptotes, the inverse function requires computing the logarithm of negative numbers.

  9. Concurrent lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_lines

    For example, the first Napoleon point is the point of concurrency of the three lines each from a vertex to the centroid of the equilateral triangle drawn on the exterior of the opposite side from the vertex. A generalization of this notion is the Jacobi point. The de Longchamps point is the point of concurrence of several lines with the Euler line.
