  2. Ternary operation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_operation

    In mathematics, a ternary operation is an n-ary operation with n = 3. A ternary operation on a set A takes any given three elements of A and combines them to form a single element of A . In computer science , a ternary operator is an operator that takes three arguments as input and returns one output.

  3. Hopcroft's problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hopcroft's_problem

    One way of solving the problem involves a geometric divide-and-conquer algorithm.For a given system of points and lines, it is possible to use the theory of epsilon-nets to subdivide the plane, for a given parameter into () triangular subproblems each crossed by a / fraction of the lines and each containing a / fraction of the points.

  4. List of NP-complete problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NP-complete_problems

    The problem for graphs is NP-complete if the edge lengths are assumed integers. The problem for points on the plane is NP-complete with the discretized Euclidean metric and rectilinear metric. The problem is known to be NP-hard with the (non-discretized) Euclidean metric. [3]: ND22, ND23

  5. Two-dimensional space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-dimensional_space

    The most basic example is the flat Euclidean plane, an idealization of a flat surface in physical space such as a sheet of paper or a chalkboard. On the Euclidean plane, any two points can be joined by a unique straight line along which the distance can be measured.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_uniform_tilings...

    In geometry, many uniform tilings on sphere, euclidean plane, and hyperbolic plane can be made by Wythoff construction within a fundamental triangle, (p q r), defined by internal angles as π/p, π/q, and π/r. Special cases are right triangles (p q 2).

  7. Planar ternary ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planar_ternary_ring

    A planar ternary ring (PTR) or ternary field is special type of ternary system used by Marshall Hall [1] to construct projective planes by means of coordinates. A planar ternary ring is not a ring in the traditional sense, but any field gives a planar ternary ring where the operation T {\displaystyle T} is defined by T ( a , b , c ) = a b + c ...

  8. Octant (solid geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octant_(solid_geometry)

    The horizontal plane shows the four quadrants between x- and y-axis. (Vertex numbers are little-endian balanced ternary.) An octant in solid geometry is one of the eight divisions of a Euclidean three-dimensional coordinate system defined by the signs of the coordinates.

  9. Incidence structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incidence_structure

    Any graph (which need not be simple; loops and multiple edges are allowed) is a uniform incidence structure with two points per line. For these examples, the vertices of the graph form the point set, the edges of the graph form the line set, and incidence means that a vertex is an endpoint of an edge.
