  2. Art gallery problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_gallery_problem

    As Valtr (1998) showed, the set system derived from an art gallery problem has bounded VC dimension, allowing the application of set cover algorithms based on ε-nets whose approximation ratio is the logarithm of the optimal number of guards rather than of the number of polygon vertices. [12]

  3. Tractrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tractrix

    The arc length of one branch between x = x 1 and x = x 2 is a ln ⁠ y 1 / y 2 ⁠. The area between the tractrix and its asymptote is ⁠ π a 2 / 2 ⁠, which can be found using integration or Mamikon's theorem. The envelope of the normals of the tractrix (that is, the evolute of the tractrix) is the catenary (or chain curve) given by y = a ...

  4. Sagitta (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    In the following equations, denotes the sagitta (the depth or height of the arc), equals the radius of the circle, and the length of the chord spanning the base of the arc. As 1 2 l {\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{2}}l} and r − s {\displaystyle r-s} are two sides of a right triangle with r {\displaystyle r} as the hypotenuse , the Pythagorean ...

  5. Buffon's needle problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffon's_needle_problem

    A Python 3 based simulation using Matplotlib to sketch Buffon's needle experiment with the parameters t = 5.0, l = 2.6. Observe the calculated value of π (y-axis) approaching 3.14 as the number of tosses (x-axis) approaches infinity. In the first, simpler case above, the formula obtained for the probability P can be rearranged to

  6. Fanno flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanno_flow

    In a nozzle, the converging or diverging area is modeled with isentropic flow, while the constant area section afterwards is modeled with Fanno flow. For given upstream conditions at point 1 as shown in Figures 3 and 4, calculations can be made to determine the nozzle exit Mach number and the location of a normal shock in the constant area duct.

  7. Nondimensionalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondimensionalization

    Many illustrative examples of nondimensionalization originate from simplifying differential equations. This is because a large body of physical problems can be formulated in terms of differential equations. Consider the following: List of dynamical systems and differential equations topics; List of partial differential equation topics

  9. Hydraulic jumps in rectangular channels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_Jumps_in...

    Length of a hydraulic jump is often hard to measure in the field and during laboratory investigations due to the sudden changes in surface turbulence, in addition to the formation of roller and eddies. [9] The length of a hydraulic jump is often an important factor to know when considering the design of structures like settling basins.
