  2. Spherical cap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_cap

    In geometry, a spherical cap or spherical dome is a portion of a sphere or of a ball cut off by a plane. It is also a spherical segment of one base, i.e., bounded by a single plane. If the plane passes through the center of the sphere (forming a great circle), so that the height of the cap is equal to the radius of the sphere, the spherical cap ...

  3. CAP theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAP_theorem

    The PACELC theorem, introduced in 2010, [8] builds on CAP by stating that even in the absence of partitioning, there is another trade-off between latency and consistency. PACELC means, if partition (P) happens, the trade-off is between availability (A) and consistency (C); Else (E), the trade-off is between latency (L) and consistency (C).

  5. Convex cap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_cap

    A cap, can be defined as the intersection of a half-space with a convex set .Note that the cap can be defined in any dimensional space. Given a , can be defined as the cap containing corresponding to a half-space parallel to with width times greater than that of the original.

  6. Cap set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cap_set

    In affine geometry, a cap set is a subset of the affine space (the -dimensional affine space over the three-element field) where no three elements sum to the zero vector. The cap set problem is the problem of finding the size of the largest possible cap set, as a function of n {\displaystyle n} . [ 1 ]

  7. Carathéodory's theorem (convex hull) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carathéodory's_theorem...

    An illustration of Carathéodory's theorem for a square in R 2. Carathéodory's theorem in 2 dimensions states that we can construct a triangle consisting of points from P that encloses any point in the convex hull of P. For example, let P = {(0,0), (0,1), (1,0), (1,1)}. The convex hull of this set is a square.

  8. Geometric function theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_function_theory

    A rectangular grid (top) and its image under a conformal map f (bottom). It is seen that f maps pairs of lines intersecting at 90° to pairs of curves still intersecting at 90°. A conformal map is a function which preserves angles locally. In the most common case the function has a domain and range in the complex plane. More formally, a map,

  9. Mixing (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    An example would be water running downhill—once it's run down, it will never come back up again. The lake that forms at the bottom of this river can, however, become well-mixed. The ergodic decomposition theorem states that every ergodic system can be split into two parts: the conservative part, and the dissipative part.
