Conic tangency equations and Apollonius problems in biochemistry and pharmacology
The Apollonius Circle Problem dates to Greek antiquity, circa 250 BC. Given three circles in the plane, find or construct a circle tangent to all three. This was generalized by replacing some circles with straight lines. Vieta [19] (or Viète) solved the problem using circle inversions before 1580. Two generations later, Descartes considered a special case in which all four circles are mutually ...
متن کاملOn Rational Geometry of Conic Sections
Simple geometric objects and transformations appear in representations and algorithms of geometric facilities in computer applications such as modelling, robotics, or graphics. Usually, these applications only support objects and transformations fully describable by rational parameters, and a computer display of points of the objects at least implicitly requires points with rational coordinates...
متن کاملThe Continuous Wavelet Transform on Conic Sections
Received (Day Month Year) Revised (Day Month Year) Communicated by (xxxxxxxxxx) We review the coherent state or group-theoretical construction of the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) on the two-sphere. Next we describe the construction of a CWT on the upper sheet of a two-sheeted hyperboloid, emphasizing the similarities between the two cases.. Finally we give some indications on the CWT on a...
متن کاملVirtual Models of Conic Sections
People know and use conic sections for a long time. They observe these curves in many situations: the parabolic trajectory of a thrown stone, the circular waves when the stone falls in calm water, and the elliptical shadows of round objects during sunsets (see Fig. 1). Conic sections were and still are one of the most favorite objects of mathematical study and education. Students spend hours in...
متن کاملTrajectory Triangulation over Conic Sections
We consider the problem of reconstructing the 3D coordinates of a moving point seen from a monocular moving camera, i.e., to reconstruct moving objects from line-of-sight measurements only. The task is feasible only when some constraints are placed on the shape of the trajectory of the moving point. We coin the family of such tasks as \trajectory triangulation". In this paper we focus on trajec...
