  2. Image (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_(mathematics)

    The image of the function is the set of all output values it may produce, that is, the image of . The preimage of f {\displaystyle f} , that is, the preimage of Y {\displaystyle Y} under f {\displaystyle f} , always equals X {\displaystyle X} (the domain of f {\displaystyle f} ); therefore, the former notion is rarely used.

  3. Translation (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    In Euclidean geometry, a translation is a geometric transformation that moves every point of a figure, shape or space by the same distance in a given direction. A translation can also be interpreted as the addition of a constant vector to every point, or as shifting the origin of the coordinate system. In a Euclidean space, any translation is ...

  4. Translation of axes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_of_axes

    In mathematics, a translation of axes in two dimensions is a mapping from an xy-Cartesian coordinate system to an x'y'-Cartesian coordinate system in which the x' axis is parallel to the x axis and k units away, and the y' axis is parallel to the y axis and h units away.

  5. Euclidean group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_group

    Glide reflections with translation by the same distance are in the same class. In 3D: Inversions with respect to all points are in the same class. Rotations by the same angle are in the same class. Rotations about an axis combined with translation along that axis are in the same class if the angle is the same and the translation distance is the ...

  6. Translation plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_plane

    In mathematics, a translation plane is a projective plane which admits a certain group of symmetries (described below). Along with the Hughes planes and the Figueroa planes, translation planes are among the most well-studied of the known non-Desarguesian planes, and the vast majority of known non-Desarguesian planes are either translation planes, or can be obtained from a translation plane via ...

  7. Rigid transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_transformation

    In dimension at most three, any improper rigid transformation can be decomposed into an improper rotation followed by a translation, or into a sequence of reflections. Any object will keep the same shape and size after a proper rigid transformation. All rigid transformations are examples of affine transformations.

  8. Isometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometry

    Definition: [7] The midpoint of two elements x and y in a vector space is the vector ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ (x + y). Theorem [ 7 ] [ 8 ] — Let A : X → Y be a surjective isometry between normed spaces that maps 0 to 0 ( Stefan Banach called such maps rotations ) where note that A is not assumed to be a linear isometry.

  9. Iterated function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iterated_function

    In general, the following identity holds for all non-negative integers m and n, = = + . This is structurally identical to the property of exponentiation that a m a n = a m + n.. In general, for arbitrary general (negative, non-integer, etc.) indices m and n, this relation is called the translation functional equation, cf. Schröder's equation and Abel equation.
