HYPERBOLIC SYSTEM [6 records]

Record 1 2011-11-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Mathematics
DEF

A finite set of maps acting on a metric space, with no particular conditions imposed upon the maps.

CONT

Iterated function systems provide a convenient framework for the description, classification, and communication of fractals.

OBS

hyperbolic IFS: the word hyperbolic ... is sometimes dropped in practice.

OBS

See also hyperbolic IFS with condensation, lifted IFS, IFS with probabilities, invariant measure of IFS.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mathématiques informatiques
CONT

Ces deux auteurs présentent les systèmes de fonctions itératives comme une manière unifiée de classifier et d'engendrer les ensembles fractals.

Record 2 2002-02-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Air Navigation Aids
  • Flight Instruments and Equipment (Aeroindustry)
DEF

A radio navigation system which enables the position of an aircraft equipped with a suitable receiver to be fixed by two or more intersecting hyperbolic position lines. The system employs either a time difference measurement of pulse transmissions or a phase difference measurement of phase-locked continuous wave transmissions.

OBS

hyperbolic navigation system: term and definition standardized by NATO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Aides à la navigation aérienne
  • Instruments et équipement de bord (Constructions aéronautiques)
DEF

Système de navigation radioélectrique qui permet à un avion doté de l'équipement nécessaire, d'obtenir une position par intersection de plusieurs lignes de position hyperboliques. Le système fait appel soit à la mesure des différences de temps séparant la réception de l'impulsion émises simultanément, soit à la mesure de la différence de phase séparant à la réception des ondes continues émises en synchronisation de phase.

OBS

système de navigation hyperbolique : terme et définition normalisés par l'OTAN.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Ayuda para la navegación aérea
  • Instrumentos y equipo de vuelo (Industria aeronáutica)
DEF

Sistema de radionavegación que da la posición de una aeronave equipada con un receptor adecuado. Esta posición se determina por la intersección de varias líneas de posición hiperbólica. El sistema puede utilizar la diferencia de tiempo que separa la recepción de impulsos emitidos simultáneamente, o la medida de la diferencia de fase de las ondas emitidas de forma continua emitidas con la fase sincronizada.
