  2. Vertex (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex_(geometry)

    where V is the number of vertices, E is the number of edges, and F is the number of faces. This equation is known as Euler's polyhedron formula. Thus the number of vertices is 2 more than the excess of the number of edges over the number of faces. For example, since a cube has 12 edges and 6 faces, the formula implies that it has eight vertices.

  3. Vertex (curve) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex_(curve)

    The dots are the vertices of the curve, each corresponding to a cusp on the evolute. In the geometry of plane curves , a vertex is a point of where the first derivative of curvature is zero. [ 1 ] This is typically a local maximum or minimum of curvature, [ 2 ] and some authors define a vertex to be more specifically a local extremum of ...

  4. Vertex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex

    Vertex (geometry), a point where two or more curves, lines, or edges meet Vertex (computer graphics), a data structure that describes the position of a point Vertex (curve), a point of a plane curve where the first derivative of curvature is zero

  5. Vertex figure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex_figure

    By considering the connectivity of these neighboring vertices, a vertex figure can be constructed for each vertex of a polytope: Each vertex of the vertex figure coincides with a vertex of the original polytope. Each edge of the vertex figure exists on or inside of a face of the original polytope connecting two alternate vertices from an ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_physics

    In physics, the term sometimes refers collectively to electromagnetic radiation of any wavelength, in which case light includes gamma rays, X-rays, microwaves, and radio waves, but in common usage "light" more often refers specifically to visible light. linear actuator A form of motor that generates a linear movement directly. linear algebra

  7. Graph (discrete mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_(discrete_mathematics)

    In discrete mathematics, particularly in graph theory, a graph is a structure consisting of a set of objects where some pairs of the objects are in some sense "related". The objects are represented by abstractions called vertices (also called nodes or points) and each of the related pairs of vertices is called an edge (also called link or line ...

  8. Vertex (graph theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex_(graph_theory)

    A graph with 6 vertices and 7 edges where the vertex number 6 on the far-left is a leaf vertex or a pendant vertex. In discrete mathematics, and more specifically in graph theory, a vertex (plural vertices) or node is the fundamental unit of which graphs are formed: an undirected graph consists of a set of vertices and a set of edges (unordered pairs of vertices), while a directed graph ...

  9. Graph theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_theory

    A drawing of a graph with 6 vertices and 7 edges. In mathematics and computer science, graph theory is the study of graphs, which are mathematical structures used to model pairwise relations between objects. A graph in this context is made up of vertices (also called nodes or points) which are connected by edges (also called arcs, links or lines).
