The term in rigidity theory for the edges of a graph.

A metric on a bunch of segments with a common endpoint O, which defines the distance between two points P_1 and P_2 as the length of the shortest path connecting them inside ...

The configuration formed by two curves starting at a point, called the vertex V, in a common direction. Horn angles are concrete illustrations of non-Archimedean geometries.

A likelihood function L(a) is the probability or probability density for the occurrence of a sample configuration x_1, ..., x_n given that the probability density f(x;a) with ...

Given four points, A, B, C, and H, let H be the orthocenter of DeltaABC. Then A is the orthocenter DeltaHBC, B is the orthocenter of DeltaHAC, and C is the orthocenter of ...

A theorem stated in 1882 which cannot be derived from Euclid's postulates. Given points a, b, c, and d on a line, if it is known that the points are ordered as (a,b,c) and ...

A flexible polyhedron due to C. Schwabe (with the appearance of having four horns) which flexes from one totally flat configuration to another, passing through intermediate ...

A t-(v,k,lambda) block design (abbreviated t-design) is an incidence structure of points and blocks such that the following hold: 1. There are v points, 2. Each block ...

If A, B, and C are three points on one line, D, E, and F are three points on another line, and AE meets BD at X, AF meets CD at Y, and BF meets CE at Z, then the three points ...

A polyhedron is rigid if it cannot be continuously deformed into another configuration. A rigid polyhedron may have two or more stable forms which cannot be continuously ...
