| 词条 | Ridge (differential geometry) |
| 释义 |
In differential geometry, a smooth surface in three dimensions has a ridge point when a line of curvature has a local maximum or minimum of principal curvature. The set of ridge points form curves on the surface called ridges. The ridges of a given surface fall into two families, typically designated red and blue, depending on which of the two principal curvatures has an extremum. At umbilical points the colour of a ridge will change from red to blue. There are two main cases: one has three ridge lines passing through the umbilic, and the other has one line passing through it. Ridge lines correspond to cuspidal edges on the focal surface. See also
