  2. Configuration (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    Configurations (4 3 6 2) (a complete quadrangle, at left) and (6 2 4 3) (a complete quadrilateral, at right).. In mathematics, specifically projective geometry, a configuration in the plane consists of a finite set of points, and a finite arrangement of lines, such that each point is incident to the same number of lines and each line is incident to the same number of points.

  3. Schläfli double six - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schläfli_double_six

    The Schläfli double six. In geometry, the Schläfli double six is a configuration of 30 points and 12 lines in three-dimensional Euclidean space, introduced by Ludwig Schläfli in 1858. [1] The lines of the configuration can be partitioned into two subsets of six lines: each line is disjoint from (skew with) the lines in its own subset of six ...

  4. Braid group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braid_group

    The composition of the braids σ and τ is written as στ.. The set of all braids on four strands is denoted by .The above composition of braids is indeed a group operation. . The identity element is the braid consisting of four parallel horizontal strands, and the inverse of a braid consists of that braid which "undoes" whatever the first braid did, which is obtained by flipping a diagram ...

  5. Fano plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fano_plane

    Self-dual. In finite geometry, the Fano plane (named after Gino Fano) is a finite projective plane with the smallest possible number of points and lines: 7 points and 7 lines, with 3 points on every line and 3 lines through every point. These points and lines cannot exist with this pattern of incidences in Euclidean geometry, but they can be ...

  6. Configuration space (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configuration_space...

    The configuration space of all unordered pairs of points on the circle is the Möbius strip. In mathematics, a configuration space is a construction closely related to state spaces or phase spaces in physics. In physics, these are used to describe the state of a whole system as a single point in a high-dimensional space.

  7. Directed graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed_graph

    Definition. In formal terms, a directed graph is an ordered pair G = (V, A) where [1] A is a set of ordered pairs of vertices, called arcs, directed edges (sometimes simply edges with the corresponding set named E instead of A), arrows, or directed lines. It differs from an ordinary or undirected graph, in that the latter is defined in terms of ...

  8. Dyadics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyadics

    Dyadics. In mathematics, specifically multilinear algebra, a dyadic or dyadic tensor is a second order tensor, written in a notation that fits in with vector algebra. There are numerous ways to multiply two Euclidean vectors. The dot product takes in two vectors and returns a scalar, while the cross product [a] returns a pseudovector.

  9. Graph theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_theory

    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).
