The second singular value k_2, corresponding to K^'(k_2)=sqrt(2)K(k_2), (1) is given by k_2 = tan(pi/8) (2) = sqrt(2)-1 (3) k_2^' = sqrt(2)(sqrt(2)-1). (4) For this modulus, ...

Relates evolutes to single paths in the calculus of variations. Proved in the general case by Darboux and Zermelo in 1894 and Kneser in 1898. It states: "When a single ...

The surface with parametric equations x = (sinhvcos(tauu))/(1+coshucoshv) (1) y = (sinhvsin(tauu))/(1+coshucoshv) (2) z = (coshvsinh(u))/(1+coshucoshv), (3) where tau is the ...

A partial differential equation of second-order, i.e., one of the form Au_(xx)+2Bu_(xy)+Cu_(yy)+Du_x+Eu_y+F=0, (1) is called hyperbolic if the matrix Z=[A B; B C] (2) ...

A linear transformation of period two. Since a linear transformation has the form, lambda^'=(alphalambda+beta)/(gammalambda+delta), (1) applying the transformation a second ...

Given a general second tensor rank tensor A_(ij) and a metric g_(ij), define theta = A_(ij)g^(ij)=A_i^i (1) omega^i = epsilon^(ijk)A_(jk) (2) sigma_(ij) = ...

A Monge patch is a patch x:U->R^3 of the form x(u,v)=(u,v,h(u,v)), (1) where U is an open set in R^2 and h:U->R is a differentiable function. The coefficients of the first ...

Neville's algorithm is an interpolation algorithm which proceeds by first fitting a polynomial of degree 0 through the point (x_k,y_k) for k=1, ..., n, i.e., P_k(x)=y_k. A ...

Am octagonal prims is a prism composed of octagonal faces. The regular right octagonal prism of unit edge length has surface area and volume S = 4(3+sqrt(2)) (1) V = ...

A partial differential equation of second-order, i.e., one of the form Au_(xx)+2Bu_(xy)+Cu_(yy)+Du_x+Eu_y+F=0, (1) is called parabolic if the matrix Z=[A B; B C] (2) ...
