  2. Osculating circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osculating_circle

    The circle with center at Q and with radius R is called the osculating circle to the curve γ at the point P. If C is a regular space curve then the osculating circle is defined in a similar way, using the principal normal vector N. It lies in the osculating plane, the plane spanned by the tangent and principal normal vectors T and N at the ...

  3. Osculating curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osculating_curve

    The osculating circle to C at p, the osculating curve from the family of circles. The osculating circle shares both its first and second derivatives (equivalently, its slope and curvature) with C. [1] [2] [4] The osculating parabola to C at p, the osculating curve from the family of parabolas, has third order contact with C. [2] [4]

  4. Arnold tongue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold_tongue

    Rotation number for different values of two parameters of the circle map: Ω on the x-axis and K on the y-axis.Some tongue shapes are visible. In mathematics, particularly in dynamical systems, Arnold tongues (named after Vladimir Arnold) [1] [2] are a pictorial phenomenon that occur when visualizing how the rotation number of a dynamical system, or other related invariant property thereof ...

  7. Phase portrait - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_portrait

    A phase portrait graph of a dynamical system depicts the system's trajectories (with arrows) and stable steady states (with dots) and unstable steady states (with circles) in a phase space. The axes are of state variables .

  8. Contact (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_(mathematics)

    The locus of the centers of all the osculating circles (also called "centers of curvature") is the evolute of the curve. If the derivative of curvature κ'(t) is zero, then the osculating circle will have 3rd-order contact and the curve is said to have a vertex. The evolute will have a cusp at the center of the circle.

  9. Osculating plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osculating_plane

    A space curve, Frenet–Serret frame, and the osculating plane (spanned by T and N). In mathematics, particularly in differential geometry, an osculating plane is a plane in a Euclidean space or affine space which meets a submanifold at a point in such a way as to have a second order of contact at the point.
