The Möller–Trumbore ray-triangle intersection algorithm, named after its inventors Tomas Möller and Ben Trumbore, is a fast method for calculating the intersection of a ray and a triangle in three dimensions without needing precomputation of the plane equation of the plane containing the triangle.

Assume that we want to find intersection of two infinite lines in 2-dimensional space, defined as a 1 x + b 1 y + c 1 = 0 and a 2 x + b 2 y + c 2 = 0. We can represent these two lines in line coordinates as U 1 = (a 1, b 1, c 1) and U 2 = (a 2, b 2, c 2). The intersection P′ of two lines is then simply given by [4]
Green line has two intersections. Yellow line lies tangent to the cylinder, so has infinitely many points of intersection. Line-cylinder intersection is the calculation of any points of intersection, given an analytic geometry description of a line and a cylinder in 3d space. An arbitrary line and cylinder may have no intersection at all.
An intersection point between two arcs is transverse if and only if it is not a tangency, i.e., their tangent lines inside the tangent plane to the surface are distinct. In a three-dimensional space, two curves can be transverse only when they have empty intersection, since their tangent spaces could generate at most a two-dimensional space.
In computer graphics, the slab method is an algorithm used to solve the ray-box intersection problem in case of an axis-aligned bounding box (AABB), i.e. to determine the intersection points between a ray and the box.
There are two types of events that may happen during the course of this simulation. When L sweeps across an endpoint of a line segment s, the intersection of L with s is added to or removed from the vertically ordered set of intersection points. These events are easy to predict, as the endpoints are known already from the input to the algorithm.
Tanner proved the following bounds Let be the rate of the resulting linear code, let the degree of the digit nodes be and the degree of the subcode nodes be .If each subcode node is associated with a linear code (n,k) with rate r = k/n, then the rate of the code is bounded by
Let X be a Riemann surface.Then the intersection number of two closed curves on X has a simple definition in terms of an integral. For every closed curve c on X (i.e., smooth function :), we can associate a differential form of compact support, the Poincaré dual of c, with the property that integrals along c can be calculated by integrals over X:
