The idea of length contraction was postulated by the Irish theoretical physicist George FitzGerald in 1889 and by the Dutch theorist Hendrik Lorentz in 1892. Also known as Lorentz–Fitzgerald ...

An edge contraction is a graph operation where an edge is deleted and its two vertices are merged into one. The new vertex then shares the union of the neighbors from the original two. A vertex ...

In a new study, Sorli and Fiscaletti have shown that two phenomena of special relativity - time dilation and length contraction - can be better described within the framework of a 3D space with ...

As a powerful new result we present a new technique to split the edges or vertices of any graph into k pieces such that contracting or deleting any piece results in a graph of bounded treewidth. The ...

The cube and the sphere were deformed to mimic length contraction — the cube, simulated to be moving at 80% of the speed of light, was actually a cuboid with an aspect ratio of 0.6, while the ...
