Cycloids' Characteristics

This web application is made to better understand cycloids.

They were defined by C.A. Petri in "Nets, Time and Space", Theoretical Computer Science 153 (1996), p. 3-48, doi: 10.1016/0304-3975(95)00116-6

Choose predefined cycloids:



Show Standard Grid
Show (x,t) coordinates of Cycloid
Show (x,t) axis, with x = ξ - η and t = ξ + η
Show Minkowski coordinates (ξ,η) of Cycloid
Show Minkowski (ξ,η) axis
Show α, β, γ, δ, with α = +ξ1,β = -η1,γ = +ξ2 and δ = +η2
Show the Net System of the Cycloid with ξ, η coordinates of the transitions
Use MathML to show formulae
