In mathematics, a Möbius strip, Möbius band, or Möbius loop [a] is a surface that can be formed by attaching the ends of a strip of paper together with a half-twist. As a mathematical object, it was discovered by Johann Benedict Listing and August Ferdinand Möbius in 1858, but it had already appeared in Roman mosaics from the third century CE .
A variation on the Penrose triangle, it is a two-dimensional depiction of a staircase in which the stairs make four 90-degree turns as they ascend or descend yet form a continuous loop, so that a person could climb them forever and never get any higher.
In computer science, a for-loop or for loop is a control flow statement for specifying iteration. Specifically, a for-loop functions by running a section of code repeatedly until a certain condition has been satisfied. For-loops have two parts: a header and a body. The header defines the iteration and the body is the code executed once per ...
Usually the triangle strips are analogous to a set of edge loops, and poles on the model are represented by triangle fans. Tools such as Stripe [8] or FTSG [9] represent the model as several strips. Optimally grouping a set of triangles into sequential strips has been proven NP-complete. [10]
Floyd's triangle is a triangular array of natural numbers used in computer science education. It is named after Robert Floyd . It is defined by filling the rows of the triangle with consecutive numbers, starting with a 1 in the top left corner:
The Penrose triangle, also known as the Penrose tribar, the impossible tribar, [1] or the impossible triangle, [2] is a triangular impossible object, an optical illusion consisting of an object which can be depicted in a perspective drawing.
One-loop diagrams are usually computed as the integral over one independent momentum that can "run in the cycle". The Casimir effect , Hawking radiation and Lamb shift are examples of phenomena whose existence can be implied using one-loop Feynman diagrams, especially the well-known "triangle diagram":
The canonical Sierpiński triangle uses an equilateral triangle with a base parallel to the horizontal axis (first image). Shrink the triangle to 1 / 2 height and 1 / 2 width, make three copies, and
