Curvature
81Inverse mean curvature flow — In the field of differential geometry in mathematics, inverse mean curvature flow (IMCF) is an example of a geometric flow of hypersurfaces a Riemannian manifold (for example, smooth surfaces in 3 dimensional Euclidean space). Intuitively, a… …
82Prescribed scalar curvature problem — In Riemannian geometry, a branch of mathematics, the prescribed scalar curvature problem is as follows: given a closed, smooth manifold M and a smooth, real valued function f on M , construct a Riemannian metric on M whose scalar curvature equals …
83Spinal curvature — Classification and external resources Different regions (curvatures) of the vertebral column ICD 10 M …
84Grothendieck–Katz p-curvature conjecture — In mathematics, the Grothendieck–Katz p curvature conjecture is a problem on linear ordinary differential equations, related to differential Galois theory and in a loose sense analogous to the result in the Chebotarev density theorem considered… …
85Weyl curvature hypothesis — The Weyl curvature hypothesis, which arises in the application of Albert Einstein s general theory of relativity to physical cosmology, was introduced by the British mathematician and theoretical physicist Sir Roger Penrose in an article in 1979… …
86Center of curvature — In geometry, center of curvature of a curve is found at a point that is at a distance equal to the radius of curvature lying on the normal vector. It is the point at infinity if the curvature is zero. The osculating circle to the curve is… …
87Radius of curvature — may refer to: Radius of curvature (mathematics) Radius of curvature (optics) Radius of curvature (applications), in geodesy and materials science The reciprocal of the curvature, in differential geometry Radius, for a sphere (lingo) The radius of …
88Lesser curvature of the stomach — Infobox Anatomy Name = PAGENAME Latin = curvatura minor gastris GraySubject = 247 GrayPage = 1162 Caption = Outline of stomach, showing its anatomical landmarks. Caption2 = Diagram from [http://training.seer.cancer.gov/ss module07 ugi/unit02… …
89Wavefront curvature sensor — A wavefront curvature sensor is a device for measuring the aberrations of an optical wavefront. Like a Shack Hartmann sensor it uses an array of small lenses (or lenslets) to focus the wavefront into an array of spots. Unlike the Shack Hartmann,… …
90Prescribed Ricci curvature problem — In Riemannian geometry, a branch of mathematics, the prescribed Ricci curvature problem is as follows: given a smooth manifold M and a symmetric 2 tensor h , construct a metric on M whose Ricci curvature tensor equals h . See also * Prescribed… …
