Extending Nearaffine Planes to Hyperbola Structures

Kinga Cudna-Salmanowicz, Jan Jakóbowski (2007)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

H. A. Wilbrink [Geom. Dedicata 12 (1982)] considered a class of Minkowski planes whose restrictions, called residual planes, are nearaffine planes. Our study goes in the opposite direction: what conditions on a nearaffine plane are necessary and sufficient to get an extension which is a hyperbola structure.

Some Generalization of Nearaffine Planes

Jan Jakóbowski (2005)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

There are three kinds of Benz planes: Möbius planes, Laguerre planes and Minkowski planes. A Minkowski plane satisfying an additional axiom is connected with some other structure called a nearaffine plane. We construct an analogous structure for a Laguerre plane. Moreover, our description is common for both cases.

Rigidity and flexibility of virtual polytopes

G. Panina (2003)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

All 3-dimensional convex polytopes are known to be rigid. Still their Minkowski differences (virtual polytopes) can be flexible with any finite freedom degree. We derive some sufficient rigidity conditions for virtual polytopes and present some examples of flexible ones. For example, Bricard's first and second flexible octahedra can be supplied by the structure of a virtual polytope.
