Horocycle
(重定向自Limit circle)




In hyperbolic geometry, a horocycle (Greek:ὅριον + κύκλος — border + circle, sometimes called an oricycle , oricircle, or limit circle ) is a curve whose normal or perpendicular geodesics all converge asymptotically in the same direction . It is the two-dimensional example of a horosphere (or orisphere).
