AI Thread Summary
The term "non integral" refers to values that are not whole numbers, which is significant in the context of curvature functions for certain transcendental curves. In this discussion, a specific curvature function is analyzed, indicating that it is always non integral. This characteristic leads to the conclusion that the associated Coxeter group generated by reflections has a unique fixed point, specifically the center of mass of the curve. Understanding the implications of non integral values is crucial for grasping the behavior of such curves and their geometric properties. The discussion emphasizes the importance of this concept in mathematical analysis and group theory.

what does it mean "non integral"

In what context??
 
Actually I have a function of curvature for some transcendental curve. and this curve considered as a coxeter group generated by the reflections about the normal lines through two adjacent extrema of the curvature function.

and it says that since this function of curvature is always non integral , this group has precisely one fix point (he center of mass of that curve)

I believe that it means " not an integer " .

Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'

Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
