    Graduate Cassini ovals being the equipotential lines?

    By now I have found my error. My calculation for point charges is correct, however the Cassini Ovals are the lines of equal potential regarding a logarithmic potential. So Q_1 and Q_2 are not point charges but electrically charged conductors. The electrostatic potential for one point P in the...

    Graduate Cassini ovals being the equipotential lines?

    edit: If you cannot understand a passage it is probably because of my bad English. Just ask. Dear board, it is said oftentimes that the cassini ovals are the equipotential lines when considering two (equal) point charges in the oval's foci. (see e.g...

    Graduate Can Recursive Flip-Trees Be Defined More Elegantly?

    I came to the same result this day (actually I gave even more initial values, but my recurrence relation was the same). But I have the same two problems with it: The solution is really unhandy and everything but elegant... Ant at second it still is only an assumption. Unfortunately I have...
