geodesic

Physics

The shortest distance between two points on a curved surface.

Mathematics

A curve on a surface, joining two given points, that is the shortest curve between the two points. On a sphere, a geodesic is an arc of a great circle through the two given points.

For a curve γ‎(s), parameterized by arc length s, this is equivalent to the acceleration vector $\ddot{γ} (s)$ being normal to the surface. A curve γ‎(s) = r(u(s),v(s)) in a parameterized surface r(u,v) is a geodesic if it satisfies the equations

$\frac{d}{d s} (E \dot{u} + F \dot{v}) = \frac{1}{2} (E_{u} {\dot{u}}^{2} + 2 F_{u} \dot{u} \dot{v} + G_{u} {\dot{v}}^{2}),$

$\frac{d}{d s} (F \dot{u} + G \dot{v}) = \frac{1}{2} (E_{v} {\dot{u}}^{2} + 2 F_{v} \dot{u} \dot{v} + G_{v} {\dot{v}}^{2}),$

where E,2F,G are the coefficients of the first fundamental form. See also Christoffel symbols.

Astronomy

The shortest distance in space between two points. On a plane surface a geodesic is a straight line; on a sphere it is part of a great circle. The term is usually used in the context of general relativity, where it represents the shortest route between two points in curved spacetime.

Computer
