A system of curvilinear coordinates. There are several different conventions for the orientation and designation of these coordinates. Arfken (1970) defines coordinates ...

A fixed point of a linear transformation for which the rescaled variables satisfy (delta-alpha)^2+4betagamma=0.

A parabolic cyclide formed by inversion of a horn torus when the inversion sphere is tangent to the torus.

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) ...

A point p on a regular surface M in R^3 is said to be parabolic if the Gaussian curvature K(p)=0 but S(p)!=0 (where S is the shape operator), or equivalently, exactly one of ...

A parabolic cyclide formed by inversion of a ring torus when the inversion sphere is tangent to the torus.

The map x^' = x+1 (1) y^' = 2x+y+1, (2) which leaves the parabola x^('2)-y^'=(x+1)^2-(2x+y+1)=x^2-y (3) invariant.

The arc length of the parabolic segment y=h(1-(x^2)/(a^2)) (1) illustrated above is given by s = int_(-a)^asqrt(1+y^('2))dx (2) = 2int_0^asqrt(1+y^('2))dx (3) = ...

A parabolic cyclide formed by inversion of a spindle torus when the inversion sphere is tangent to the torus.

A catastrophe which can occur for four control factors and two behavior axes. The parabolic umbilic catastrophe is given by the unfolding ...
