A Strong Triangle Inequality in Hyperbolic Geometry
نویسندگان
چکیده
For a triangle in the hyperbolic plane, let α, β, γ denote the angles opposite the sides a, b, c, respectively. Also, let h be the height of the altitude to side c. Under the assumption that α, β, γ can be chosen uniformly in the interval (0, π) and it is given that α + β + γ < π, we show that the strong triangle inequality a + b > c + h holds approximately 79% of the time. To accomplish this, we prove a number of theoretical results to make sure that the probability can be computed to an arbitrary precision, and the error can be bounded.

A Stronger Triangle Inequality for Neutral Geometry
Bailey and Bannister [College Math. Journal, 28 (1997) 182–186] proved that a stronger triangle inequality holds in the Euclidean plane for all triangles having largest angle less than arctan( 7 ) ≈ 74◦. We use hyperbolic trigonometry to show that a stronger triangle inequality holds in the hyperbolic plane for all triangles having largest angle less than or equal to 65.87◦ .
متن کاملOn the metric triangle inequality
A non-contradictible axiomatic theory is constructed under the local reversibility of the metric triangle inequality. The obtained notion includes the metric spaces as particular cases and the generated metric topology is T$_{1}$-separated and generally, non-Hausdorff.
متن کاملNon-Euclidean Versions of Some Classical Triangle Inequalities
In this paper we recall with short proofs of some classical triangle inequalities, and prove corresponding non-Euclidean, i.e., spherical and hyperbolic versions of these inequalities. Among them are the well known Euler’s inequality, Rouché’s inequality (also called “the fundamental triangle inequality”), Finsler–Hadwiger’s inequality, isoperimetric inequality and others.

متن کاملThe hyperbolic triangle centroid
Some gyrocommutative gyrogroups, also known as Bruck loops or K-loops, admit scalar multiplication, turning themselves into gyrovector spaces. The latter, in turn, form the setting for hyperbolic geometry just as vector spaces form the setting for Euclidean geometry. In classical mechanics the centroid of a triangle in velocity space is the velocity of the center of momentum of three massive ob...
