The inverse curve of the lituus is an Archimedean spiral with m=2, which is Fermat's spiral.

Given a point P and a line AB, draw the perpendicular through P and call it PC. Let PD be any other line from P which meets CB in D. In a hyperbolic geometry, as D moves off ...

The name Lobachevsky's function is sometimes given to the function Lambda(theta)=1/2Cl_2(2theta), also denoted Pi(theta), where Cl_2(x) is Clausen's integral.

The polyhedron resulting from letting each sphere in a sphere packing expand uniformly until it touches its neighbors on flat faces.

Let each sphere in a sphere packing expand uniformly until it touches its neighbors on flat faces. Call the resulting polyhedron the local cell. Then the local density is ...

The conjecture that the maximum local density is given by rho_(dodecahedron).

A local extremum, also called a relative extremum, is a local minimum or local maximum.

A local maximum, also called a relative maximum, is a maximum within some neighborhood that need not be (but may be) a global maximum.

A local minimum, also called a relative minimum, is a minimum within some neighborhood that need not be (but may be) a global minimum.

A simplicial complex K is said to be locally finite if each vertex of K belongs only to finitely many simplices of K.
