Tangents to conic sections

Reneau, Lorean Nicole 05 January 2011 (has links)
Circles, parabolas, ellipses and hyperbolas are conic sections and have many unique properties. The properties of the tangents to conic sections prove quite interesting. Dandelin spheres are tangent to ellipses inside a cone and support the geometric definition of an ellipse. Tangent lines to parabolas, ellipses and hyperbolas in the form of families of folds are shown to create conic sections in unique ways. The equations of these tangent lines to conic sections and their equations can be found without using calculus. The equations of the tangent lines are also used to prove the bisection theorem for all conic sections and prove uniqueness for the bisection theorem in connection to conic sections. / text

Avanços no desenvolvimento de estruturas de dados, rotinas que trabalham com estas estruturas e a exploração da esparsidade de grande parte dos problemas encontrados na prática já permitem implementações destes métodos que podem torná-los competitivos com métodos de segunda ordem. O objeto desta dissertação é a apresentação do método de Halley, um método de terceira ordem, sua implementação em MATLAB e a realização de testes computacionais, visando uma comparação empírica de sua eficiência frente ao método de Newton, o método de segunda ordem mais empregado na atualidade / Abstract: Higher order optimization methods, though of long-standing tradition, until recently have been deemed impractical, due to the rate of increase of the computational effort as a function of the size of the problem. Advances in the development of data structures, routines that work with these structures and the use of the sparsity of a vast range of practical problems have led to implementations of these methods that are competitive with second order methods. The object of this dissertation is the study of Halley's method, a thirdorder method, the development of a MATLAB implementation thereof and its testing, aiming at an empirical comparison of its efficiency against that of Newton's method, the second-order method most widely used today / Mestrado / Matematica Aplicada / Mestra em Matemática Aplicada
