Geodesics Revisited —
Introduction to
geodesics including two ways of
derivation of the
equation of
geodesic with applications...
- A
geodesic dome is a
hemispherical thin-s****
structure (lattice-s****)
based on a
geodesic polyhedron. The
rigid triangular elements of the dome distribute...
- k={\sqrt {k_{g}^{2}+k_{n}^{2}}}} . In
particular geodesics on M {\displaystyle M} have zero
geodesic curvature (they are "straight"), so that k = k n...
- In
general relativity,
Schwarzschild geodesics describe the
motion of test
particles in the
gravitational field of a
central fixed m**** M , {\textstyle...
-
closed curve that
traces out its
image exactly once. Such
geodesics are
called prime geodesics because,
among other things, they obey an
asymptotic distribution...
- (with
three distinct semi-axes), only
three geodesics are closed.
There are
several ways of
defining geodesics (Hilbert & Cohn-Vossen 1952, pp. 220–221)...
- A
geodesic circle is
either "the
locus on a
surface at a
constant geodesic distance from a
fixed point" or a
curve of
constant geodesic curvature. A geodesic...
-
identity map i : D → D, i is not a
geodesic map,
since g-
geodesics are
always straight lines in R2,
whereas h-
geodesics can be curved. On the
other hand...
- time-like
geodesic between them. In such instances, the
proper times along several geodesics will not in
general be the same. For some
geodesics in such...
- A
geodesic is a
curve representing in some
sense the
shortest path
between two
points on a surface. Look up
geodesic in Wiktionary, the free dictionary...
