  2. Cross-ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-ratio

    One approach to cross ratio interprets it as a homography that takes three designated points to 0, 1, and ∞. Under restrictions having to do with inverses, it is possible to generate such a mapping with ring operations in the projective line over a ring. The cross ratio of four points is the evaluation of this homography at the fourth point.

  3. Cayley–Klein metric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cayley–Klein_metric

    The metric distance between two points inside the absolute is the logarithm of the cross ratio formed by these two points and the two intersections of their line with the absolute. In mathematics, a Cayley–Klein metric is a metric on the complement of a fixed quadric in a projective space which is defined using a cross-ratio.

  4. Projective harmonic conjugate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projective_harmonic_conjugate

    The cross-ratio (,;,) = () is a ratio of division ratios, or a double ratio. Setting the double ratio to minus one means that when t(c) + t(d) = 0, then c and d are harmonic conjugates with respect to a and b. So the division ratio criterion is that they be additive inverses.

  5. Inversive geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversive_geometry

    The cross-ratio between 4 points ,,, is invariant under an inversion. In particular if O is the centre of the inversion and r 1 {\displaystyle r_{1}} and r 2 {\displaystyle r_{2}} are distances to the ends of a line L, then length of the line d {\displaystyle d} will become d / ( r 1 r 2 ) {\displaystyle d/(r_{1}r_{2})} under an inversion with ...

  6. Cross product - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_product

    The cross product with respect to a right-handed coordinate system. In mathematics, the cross product or vector product (occasionally directed area product, to emphasize its geometric significance) is a binary operation on two vectors in a three-dimensional oriented Euclidean vector space (named here ), and is denoted by the symbol .

  8. Feigenbaum constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feigenbaum_constants

    It is the ratio between the width of a tine and the width of one of its two subtines (except the tine closest to the fold). A negative sign is applied to α when the ratio between the lower subtine and the width of the tine is measured. [9] These numbers apply to a large class of dynamical systems (for example, dripping faucets to population ...
