The first Fermat point X (or F_1) (sometimes simply called "the Fermat point," Torricelli point, or first isogonic center) is the point X which minimizes the sum of distances ...

A point p on a regular surface M in R^3 is said to be elliptic if the Gaussian curvature K(p)>0 or equivalently, the principal curvatures kappa_1 and kappa_2 have the same ...

A point p on a regular surface M in R^3 is said to be hyperbolic if the Gaussian curvature K(p)<0 or equivalently, the principal curvatures kappa_1 and kappa_2, have opposite ...

If g is a continuous function g(x) in [a,b] for all x in [a,b], then g has a fixed point in [a,b]. This can be proven by supposing that g(a)>=a g(b)<=b (1) g(a)-a>=0 ...

The point S^' which makes the perimeters of the triangles DeltaBS^'C, DeltaCS^'A, and DeltaAS^'B equal. The isoperimetric point exists iff a+b+c>4R+r, (1) where a, b, and c ...

An accumulation point is a point which is the limit of a sequence, also called a limit point. For some maps, periodic orbits give way to chaotic ones beyond a point known as ...

The intersection Ev of the Gergonne line and the Euler line. It has triangle center function alpha=(b(a-b+c)cosB+c(a+b-c)cosC-2a^2cosA)/(2a) and is Kimberling center X_(1375).

An ordinary double point of a plane curve is point where a curve intersects itself such that two branches of the curve have distinct tangent lines. Ordinary double points of ...

A point at the intersection of two or more grid lines in a point lattice.

The Gergonne point Ge is the perspector of a triangle DeltaABC and its contact triangle DeltaT_AT_BT_C. It has equivalent triangle center functions alpha = [a(b+c-a)]^(-1) ...
