A point where a curve intersects itself along three arcs. The above plot shows the triple point at the origin of the trifolium (x^2+y^2)^2+3x^2y-y^3=0.

A point, such as interior points of a disk, such that (px)(py)=[const], where p is the chord length.

A fixed point is a point that does not change upon application of a map, system of differential equations, etc. In particular, a fixed point of a function f(x) is a point x_0 ...

The fixed point with respect to which a pedal curve or pedal triangle is drawn.

Given positive numbers s_a, s_b, and s_c, the Elkies point is the unique point Y in the interior of a triangle DeltaABC such that the respective inradii r_a, r_b, r_c of the ...

A K-rational point is a point (X,Y) on an algebraic curve f(X,Y)=0, where X and Y are in a field K. For example, rational point in the field Q of ordinary rational numbers is ...

A point of a function or surface which is a stationary point but not an extremum. An example of a one-dimensional function with a saddle point is f(x)=x^3, which has f^'(x) = ...

If f is analytic on a domain U, then a point z_0 on the boundary partialU is called regular if f extends to be an analytic function on an open set containing U and also the ...

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) ...

A point at which two noncrossing branches of a curve meet with different tangents.
