A pseudo Euclideanspace is a finite dimension al real number real vector space together with a degenerate form non degenerate definite bilinear form indefinite quadratic form .

The Euclidean shortest path problem is a problem in computational geometry given a set of polyhedral obstacles in a Euclideanspace , and two points, find the shortest path between the points that does not intersect any of the obstacles. In two dimensions, the problem can be solved in polynomial time in a model of computation allowing addition and comparisons of real numbers, despite theoretical difficulties involving the numerical precision needed to perform such calculations. These algorithms are based on two different principles, either performing a shortest path algorithm such as Dijkstra s algorithm on a visibility graph derived from the obstacles or in an approach called the continuous Dijkstra method propagating a wavefront from one of the points until it meets the other. In three and higher dimensions the problem is NP hard in the general case ref J. Canny and J. H. Reif, New lower bound techniques for robot motion planning problems , Proc. 28th Annu. IEEE Sympos.

Models of non Euclidean geometry are mathematical model s of geometries in which are non Euclidean geometry non Euclidean in the sense that it is not the case that exactly one line can be drawn parallel lines parallel to a given line l through a point that is not on l . In hyperbolic geometric models, by contrast, there are infinity infinitely many lines through A parallel to l , and in elliptic geometric models, parallel lines do not exist. See the entries on hyperbolic geometry and elliptic geometry for more information. Euclidean geometry is modelled by our notion of a flat plane mathematics plane .

In mathematics , a non Euclidean crystallographic group , NEC group or N.E.C. group is a discrete group of isometries of the Hyperbolic geometry hyperbolic plane. These symmetry group s correspond to the wallpaper group s in euclidean geometry . A NEC group which contains only Orientability orientation preserving elements is called a Fuchsian group , and any non Fuchsian NEC group has an index 2 Fuchsian subgroup of orientation preserving elements. The hyperbolic triangle group s are notable NEC groups. See also Non Euclidean geometry Isometry group Fuchsian group Uniform tilings in hyperbolic plane References H.C.

The set of Euclidean plane isometries forms a group mathematics group under function composition composition the Euclidean group in two dimensions. It is generated by reflections in lines, and every element of the Euclidean group is the composite of at most three distinct reflections. Informal discussion Informally, a Euclidean plane isometry is any way of transforming the plane without deforming it. For example, suppose that the Euclidean ..., called a glide reflection see below under Euclidean plane isometry Classifcation of Euclidean plane isometries classification of Euclidean plane isometries .
