Hyperbolic Spirals and Spiral Patterns
نویسنده
چکیده
Starting many centuries ago, artists in a number of cultures have created spiral patterns on flat surfaces, and even on spheres. Mathematicians have given precise definitions of spirals in the Euclidean plane and have studied them for centuries. Yet no one seems to have studied spirals in the hyperbolic plane, and until recently, no one had created hyperbolic spiral patterns. In this paper, we investigate both areas.

Selectivity for coherence in polar orientation in human form vision
Evidence from summation near threshold psychophysical experiments using compound Glass patterns is presented which supports the existence of mechanisms in the human visual system tuned for coherence in radial and concentric, and +45 degrees and -45 degrees spiral orientations. It is suggested that sensitivity to +45 degrees and -45 degrees logarithmic spirals serves to disambiguate the sense of...
متن کاملGeometric diagnostics of complex patterns: spiral defect chaos.
Motivated by the observation of spiral patterns in a wide range of physical, chemical, and biological systems, we present an automated approach that aims at characterizing quantitatively spiral-like elements in complex stripe-like patterns. The approach provides the location of the spiral tip and the size of the spiral arms in terms of their arc length and their winding number. In addition, it ...
متن کاملSpiral patterns in oscillated granular layers.
Cell-filling spiral patterns are observed in a vertically oscillated layer of granular material when the oscillation amplitude is suddenly increased from below the onset of pattern formation into the region where stripe patterns appear for quasistatic increases in amplitude. These spirals are transients and decay to stripe patterns with defects. A transient spiral defect chaos state is also obs...
متن کاملSpontaneous generation of spiral waves by a hydrodynamic instability
The coiling of a thin filament of viscous fluid falling onto a surface is a common and easily reproducible hydrodynamic instability. Here we report for the first time that this instability can generate regular spiral patterns, in which air bubbles are trapped in the coil and then advected horizontally by the fluid spreading on the surface. We present a simple model that explains how these beaut...
متن کاملSpiral Waves in Circular and Spherical Geometries
In this thesis we prove the existence of m-armed spiral wave solutions for the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation in the circular and spherical geometries. Instead of applying the shooting method in the literature, we establish a functional approach and generalize the known results of existence for rigidly-rotating spiral waves. Moreover, we prove the existence of two new patterns: frozen spirals...
