  2. Oval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oval

    An oval (from Latin ovum 'egg') is a closed curve in a plane which resembles the outline of an egg.The term is not very specific, but in some areas (projective geometry, technical drawing, etc.) it is given a more precise definition, which may include either one or two axes of symmetry of an ellipse.

    The theory proposes that the visual input is matched against structural representations of objects in the brain. These structural representations consist of geons and their relations (e.g., an ice cream cone could be broken down into a sphere located above a cone ).

    The phase diagrams are shown in Figure 5. Tracking the x-intercepts in the phase diagram as r changes, there are two fixed point trajectories which intersect at the origin; this is the bifurcation point (intuitively, when the number of x-intercepts in the phase portrait changes). The left fixed point is always unstable, and the right one stable.

    Mathematical and theoretical biology, or biomathematics, is a branch of biology which employs theoretical analysis, mathematical models and abstractions of living organisms to investigate the principles that govern the structure, development and behavior of the systems, as opposed to experimental biology which deals with the conduction of ...

  7. Oval (projective plane) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oval_(projective_plane)

    To the definition of an oval: e: exterior (passing) line, t: tangent, s: secant. In projective geometry an oval is a point set in a plane that is defined by incidence properties. The standard examples are the nondegenerate conics. However, a conic is only defined in a pappian plane, whereas an oval may exist in any type of projective plane. In ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagrammatic_reasoning

    A logical graph is a special type of graph-theoretic structure in any one of several systems of graphical syntax that Charles Sanders Peirce developed for logic.. In his papers on qualitative logic, entitative graphs, and existential graphs, Peirce developed several versions of a graphical formalism, or a graph-theoretic formal language, designed to be interpreted for logic.

  9. Fisher's geometric model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher's_geometric_model

    Fisher's geometric model (FGM) is an evolutionary model of the effect sizes and effect on fitness of spontaneous mutations [1] proposed by Ronald Fisher to explain the distribution of effects of mutations that could contribute to adaptative evolution.
