Math 2339, SMU – p. 20/22 Comments: The previous plots seem to “favor” the z-axis. That is, the two standard quadratic forms are written as (I) Ax2 + By2 + Cz2 + J =0, ABC =0 , which includes the ellipsoid, the hyperboloid (one-sheet & two-sheets), and the cone. Except for the ellipsoid, C has a different sign from A and B (in hyperboloid and cone), this “helps” to “favor” the z-axis. And (II) Ax2 + By2 + Cz =0, ABC =0 , which includes the elliptic paraboloid, and the hyperbolic paraboloid. The only linear term is assigned to the z variable, that is why the z-axis is “favored” again. The above “special treatment” to z can be bestowed to either x or y. This will lead to different orientation of the quadratic surfaces, but the essential shapes of the surfaces do not change. (See the next slide for two examples.)

  • Quadratic Approximation at a Stationary Point Let F(X, Y) Be a Given
    Multivariable Calculus Grinshpan Quadratic approximation at a stationary point Let f(x; y) be a given function and let (x0; y0) be a point in its domain. Under proper differentiability conditions one has f(x; y) = f(x0; y0) + fx(x0; y0)(x − x0) + fy(x0; y0)(y − y0) 1 2 1 2 + 2 fxx(x0; y0)(x − x0) + fxy(x0; y0)(x − x0)(y − y0) + 2 fyy(x0; y0)(y − y0) + higher−order terms: Let (x0; y0) be a stationary (critical) point of f: fx(x0; y0) = fy(x0; y0) = 0. Then 2 2 f(x; y) = f(x0; y0) + A(x − x0) + 2B(x − x0)(y − y0) + C(y − y0) + higher−order terms, 1 1 1 1 where A = 2 fxx(x0; y0);B = 2 fxy(x0; y0) = 2 fyx(x0; y0), and C = 2 fyy(x0; y0). Assume for simplicity that (x0; y0) = (0; 0) and f(0; 0) = 0. [ This can always be achieved by translation: f~(x; y) = f(x0 + x; y0 + y) − f(x0; y0). ] Then f(x; y) = Ax2 + 2Bxy + Cy2 + higher−order terms. Thus, provided A, B, C are not all zero, the graph of f near (0; 0) resembles the quadric surface z = Ax2 + 2Bxy + Cy2: Generically, this quadric surface is either an elliptic or a hyperbolic paraboloid. We distinguish three scenarios: * Elliptic paraboloid opening up, (0; 0) is a point of local minimum. * Elliptic paraboloid opening down, (0; 0) is a point of local maximum. * Hyperbolic paraboloid, (0; 0) is a saddle point. It should certainly be possible to tell which case we are dealing with by looking at the coefficients A, B, and C, and this is the idea behind the Second Partials Test.

Curves in R2 : x2 y2 ellipse + =1 a2 b2 x2 y2 hyperbola − =1 a2 b2 parabola y = ax2 or x = by2 A quadric surface is the graph of a second degree equation in three variables. The most general such equation is Ax2 + By2 + Cz2 + Dxy + Exz + F yz + Gx + Hy + Iz + J =0, where A, B, C, ..., J are constants. By translation and rotation the equation can be brought into one of two standard forms Ax2 + By2 + Cz2 + J =0 or Ax2 + By2 + Iz =0 In order to sketch the graph of a quadric surface, it is useful to determine the curves of intersection of the surface with planes parallel to the coordinate planes. These curves are called traces of the surface.

    CSE 599: Interplay between Convex Optimization and Geometry Winter 2018 Lecture 5: John Ellipsoid Lecturer: Yin Tat Lee Disclaimer: Please tell me any mistake you noticed. The algorithm at the end is unpublished. Feel free to contact me for collaboration. 5.1 John Ellipsoid In the last lecture, we discussed that any convex set is very close to anp ellipsoid in probabilistic sense. More precisely, after renormalization by covariance matrix, we have kxk2 = n ± Θ(1) with high probability. In this lecture, we will talk about how convex set is close to an ellipsoid in a strict sense. If the convex set is isotropic, it is close to a sphere as follows: Theorem 5.1.1. Let K be a convex body in Rn in isotropic position. Then, rn + 1 B ⊆ K ⊆ pn(n + 1)B : n n n Roughly speaking, this says that any convex set can be approximated by an ellipsoid by a n factor. This result has a lot of applications. Although the bound is tight, making a body isotropic is pretty time- consuming. In fact, making a body isotropic is the current bottleneck for obtaining faster algorithm for sampling in convex sets. Currently, it can only be done in O∗(n4) membership oracle plus O∗(n5) total time. Problem 5.1.2. Find a faster algorithm to approximate the covariance matrix of a convex set. In this lecture, we consider another popular position of a convex set called John position and its correspond- ing ellipsoid is called John ellipsoid. Definition 5.1.3. Given a convex set K.

If x and y are given as continuous function x = f(t) y = g(t) over an interval of t-values, then the set of points (x, y)=(f(t),g(t)) defined by these equation is a parametric curve (sometimes called aplane curve). The equations are parametric equations for the curve. Often we think of parametric curves as describing the movement of a particle in a plane over time. Examples. x = 2cos t x = et 0 t π 1 t e y = 3sin t ≤ ≤ y = ln t ≤ ≤ Can we find parameterizations of known curves? the line segment circle x2 + y2 =1 from (1, 3) to (5, 1) Why restrict ourselves to only moving through planes? Why not space? And why not use our nifty vector notation? 25 Definition. If x, y, and z are given as continuous functions x = f(t) y = g(t) z = h(t) over an interval of t-values, then the set of points (x,y,z)= (f(t),g(t), h(t)) defined by these equation is a parametric curve (sometimes called a space curve).

  • Models for Earth and Maps
    Earth Models and Maps James R. Clynch, Naval Postgraduate School, 2002 I. Earth Models Maps are just a model of the world, or a small part of it. This is true if the model is a globe of the entire world, a paper chart of a harbor or a digital database of streets in San Francisco. A model of the earth is needed to convert measurements made on the curved earth to maps or databases. Each model has advantages and disadvantages. Each is usually in error at some level of accuracy. Some of these error are due to the nature of the model, not the measurements used to make the model. Three are three common models of the earth, the spherical (or globe) model, the ellipsoidal model, and the real earth model. The spherical model is the form encountered in elementary discussions. It is quite good for some approximations. The world is approximately a sphere. The sphere is the shape that minimizes the potential energy of the gravitational attraction of all the little mass elements for each other. The direction of gravity is toward the center of the earth. This is how we define down. It is the direction that a string takes when a weight is at one end - that is a plumb bob. A spirit level will define the horizontal which is perpendicular to up-down. The ellipsoidal model is a better representation of the earth because the earth rotates. This generates other forces on the mass elements and distorts the shape. The minimum energy form is now an ellipse rotated about the polar axis.

The trace in x = k of the surface is z = − 16 + 9 , which is a downward-opening parabola. x2 k2 The trace in y = k of the surface is z = 9 − 16 , which is an upward-opening parabola. x2 y2 The trace in z = k of the surface is 9 − 16 = k, which is a hyperbola if k 6= 0 and a pair of lines (a degenerate hyperbola) if k = 0.

  • Ductile Deformation - Concepts of Finite Strain
    327 Ductile deformation - Concepts of finite strain Deformation includes any process that results in a change in shape, size or location of a body. A solid body subjected to external forces tends to move or change its displacement. These displacements can involve four distinct component patterns: - 1) A body is forced to change its position; it undergoes translation. - 2) A body is forced to change its orientation; it undergoes rotation. - 3) A body is forced to change size; it undergoes dilation. - 4) A body is forced to change shape; it undergoes distortion. These movement components are often described in terms of slip or flow. The distinction is scale- dependent, slip describing movement on a discrete plane, whereas flow is a penetrative movement that involves the whole of the rock. The four basic movements may be combined. - During rigid body deformation, rocks are translated and/or rotated but the original size and shape are preserved. - If instead of moving, the body absorbs some or all the forces, it becomes stressed. The forces then cause particle displacement within the body so that the body changes its shape and/or size; it becomes deformed. Deformation describes the complete transformation from the initial to the final geometry and location of a body. Deformation produces discontinuities in brittle rocks. In ductile rocks, deformation is macroscopically continuous, distributed within the mass of the rock. Instead, brittle deformation essentially involves relative movements between undeformed (but displaced) blocks. Finite strain jpb, 2019 328 Strain describes the non-rigid body deformation, i.e. the amount of movement caused by stresses between parts of a body.
