  2. Conchoid of de Sluze - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conchoid_of_de_Sluze

    These expressions have an asymptote x = 1 (for a ≠ 0). The point most distant from the asymptote is (1 + a, 0). (0,0) is a crunode for a < −1. The area between the curve and the asymptote is, for a ≥ −1, | | (+ /) while for a < −1, the area is

  3. Folium of Descartes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folium_of_Descartes

    The folium of Descartes (green) with asymptote (blue) when = In geometry , the folium of Descartes (from Latin folium ' leaf '; named for René Descartes ) is an algebraic curve defined by the implicit equation x 3 + y 3 − 3 a x y = 0. {\displaystyle x^{3}+y^{3}-3axy=0.}

  4. Asymptote - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptote

    A common example of a vertical asymptote is the case of a rational function at a point x such that the denominator is zero and the numerator is non-zero. If a function has a vertical asymptote, then it isn't necessarily true that the derivative of the function has a vertical asymptote at the same place. An example is

  5. Asymptotic analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptotic_analysis

    The function f(n) is said to be "asymptotically equivalent to n 2, as n → ∞". This is often written symbolically as f (n) ~ n 2, which is read as "f(n) is asymptotic to n 2". An example of an important asymptotic result is the prime number theorem.

  6. Asymptotic curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptotic_curve

    The asymptotic directions are the same as the asymptotes of the hyperbola of the Dupin indicatrix through a hyperbolic point, or the unique asymptote through a parabolic point. [1] An asymptotic direction is a direction along which the normal curvature is zero: take the plane spanned by the direction and the surface's normal at that point. The ...

  7. Asymptotology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptotology

    In physics and other fields of science, one frequently comes across problems of an asymptotic nature, such as damping, orbiting, stabilization of a perturbed motion, etc. Their solutions lend themselves to asymptotic analysis (perturbation theory), which is widely used in modern applied mathematics, mechanics and physics. But asymptotic methods ...

  8. Delta method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_method

    The intuition of the delta method is that any such g function, in a "small enough" range of the function, can be approximated via a first order Taylor series (which is basically a linear function). If the random variable is roughly normal then a linear transformation of it is also normal. Small range can be achieved when approximating the ...

  9. Topology optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topology_optimization

    Due to the free forms that naturally occur, the result is often difficult to manufacture. For that reason the result emerging from topology optimization is often fine-tuned for manufacturability. Adding constraints to the formulation in order to increase the manufacturability is an active field of research.
