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 singular point such that every neighborhood of the point intersects itself. Pinch points are also called Whitney singularities or branch points.

In a given acute triangle DeltaABC, locate a point whose distances from A, B, and C have the smallest possible sum. The solution is the point from which each side subtends an ...

P is the point on the line AB such that PA^_/PB^_=1. It can also be thought of as the point of intersection of two parallel lines. In 1639, Desargues (1864) became the first ...

Given a point P, the point P^' which is the antipodal point of P is said to be the antipode of P. The term antipode is also used in plane geometry. Given a central conic (or ...

A hyperbolic fixed point of a differential equation is a fixed point for which the stability matrix has eigenvalues lambda_1<0<lambda_2, also called a saddle point. A ...

An inflection point is a point on a curve at which the sign of the curvature (i.e., the concavity) changes. Inflection points may be stationary points, but are not local ...

The Jerabek center X_(125) (center of the Jerabek hyperbola) lies on the nine-point circle. The Jerabek antipode is the antipode of this point on nine-point circle. It has ...

A singular point of an algebraic curve is a point where the curve has "nasty" behavior such as a cusp or a point of self-intersection (when the underlying field K is taken as ...

An n-cycle is a finite sequence of points Y_0, ..., Y_(n-1) such that, under a map G, Y_1 = G(Y_0) (1) Y_2 = G(Y_1) (2) Y_(n-1) = G(Y_(n-2)) (3) Y_0 = G(Y_(n-1)). (4) In ...
