A bijective map between two metric spaces that preserves distances, i.e., d(f(x),f(y))=d(x,y), where f is the map and d(a,b) is the distance function. Isometries are ...

The point S^' which makes the perimeters of the triangles DeltaBS^'C, DeltaCS^'A, and DeltaAS^'B equal. The isoperimetric point exists iff a+b+c>4R+r, (1) where a, b, and c ...

The isoperimetric quotient of a closed curve is defined as the ratio of the curve area to the area of a circle (A=pir_A^2) with same perimeter (p=2pir_p) as the curve, Q = ...

For a given curve C, consider the locus of the point P from where the tangents from P to C meet at a fixed given angle. This is called an isoptic curve of the given curve. ...

A right triangle with the two legs (and their corresponding angles) equal. An isosceles right triangle therefore has angles of 45 degrees, 45 degrees, and 90 degrees. For an ...

An isoscelizer of an (interior) angle A in a triangle DeltaABC is a line through points I_(AB)I_(AC) where I_(AB) lies on AB and I_(AC) on AC such that DeltaAI_(AB)I_(AC) is ...

Suppose a line L^' meets sidelines BC, CA, and AB in points A^', B^', and C^', respectively. Let A^('') be the reflection of A^' about the midpoint of segment BC, and ...

Some elements of a group G acting on a space X may fix a point x. These group elements form a subgroup called the isotropy group, defined by G_x={g in G:gx=x}. For example, ...

A finite set of contraction maps w_i for i=1, 2, ..., N, each with a contractivity factor s<1, which map a compact metric space onto itself. It is the basis for fractal image ...

The Ivanov-Ivanov-Faradjev graph is a distance-regular graph on 990 vertices (Brouwer et al. 1989, p. 369). It has intersection array {7,6,4,4,4,1,1,1;1,1,1,2,4,4,6,7} and is ...
