For a unit speed curve on a surface, the length of the surface-tangential component of acceleration is the geodesic curvature kappa_g. Curves with kappa_g=0 are called ...

A geodesic mapping f:M->N between two Riemannian manifolds is a diffeomorphism sending geodesics of M into geodesics of N, whose inverse also sends geodesics to geodesics ...

A triangle formed by the arcs of three geodesics on a smooth surface.

An affine transformation in which the scale is reduced.

A point-to-line and line-to-point transformation which transforms points A into lines a^' and lines b into points B^' such that a^' passes through B^' iff A^' lies on b.

A perspective collineation in which the center and axis are not incident. The term was first used by Poncelet (Cremona 1960, p. ix).

The statistical index P_G=[product((p_n)/(p_0))^(v_0)]^(1/Sigmav_0), where p_n is the price per unit in period n, q_n is the quantity produced in period n, and v_n=p_nq_n the ...

If the abstract simplicial complex S is isomorphic with the vertex scheme of the simplicial complex K, then K is said to be a geometric realization of S, and is uniquely ...

The geometric span is largest possible distance between two points drawn from a finite set of points. It is therefore closely related to the generalized diameter of a closed ...

A disk D in a solid torus V=S^1×D^2 is called meridinal if its boundary is a nontrivial curve in del V (so that it is a meridian). Then a closed subset X subset V is called ...
