The vanishing point theorem is the principal theorem in the science of perspective. It says that the image in a picture plane π of a line L in space, not parallel to the picture, is determined by its intersection with π and its vanishing point. Some authors have used the phrase, "the image of a line includes its vanishing point".
The Poietic Generator is a social-network game designed by Olivier Auber [1] in 1986; it was developed from 1987 under the label free art [2] thanks to many contributors. [3] The game takes place within a two-dimensional matrix in the tradition of board games and its principle is similar to both Conway's Game of Life and the surrealists' exquisite corpse.
exists. The operator A is the generator of T t, and the space of functions on which it is defined is written as D A. A characterization of operators that can occur as the infinitesimal generator of Feller processes is given by the Hille–Yosida theorem. This uses the resolvent of the Feller semigroup, defined below.
At each point on the manifold, the algebra of the Killing fields splits naturally into two parts, one part which is tangent to the manifold, and another part which is vanishing (at the point where the decomposition is being made). The three fields , and are not of unit length.
The moving-cluster method relies on observing the proper motions and Doppler shift of each member of a group of stars known to form a cluster. The idea is that since all the stars share a common space velocity, they will appear to move towards a point of common convergence ("vanishing point") on the sky.
The strange car-chase movie 'Vanishing Point' has had an equally strange afterlife, as detailed in this new book about the film and its star, a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T 440.
The Linear Men are a team of men and women who police time and work to resolve time paradoxes. [1] The core team consists of Matthew Ryder (the leader and founder), an alternate future version of Ryder known as Waverider, Travis O'Connell, Liri Lee, and Rip Hunter, although other members of the Linear Men have been seen from time to time.
The Picard–Lefschetz formula describes the monodromy at a critical point. Suppose that f is a holomorphic map from an (k+1)-dimensional projective complex manifold to the projective line P 1. Also suppose that all critical points are non-degenerate and lie in different fibers, and have images x 1,...,x n in P 1. Pick any other point x in P 1.
