Proper Velocity Space Model and Proper Velocity Addition
A proper velocity space model of hyperbolic geometry is given by proper velocities with vector addition given by the proper velocity addition formula:
where is the beta factor given by .
This formula provides a model that uses a whole space compared to other models of hyperbolic geometry which use discs or half-planes.
A proper velocity gyrovector space is a real inner product space V, with the proper velocity gyrogroup addition and with scalar multiplication defined by r v = s sinh(r sinh−1(|v|/s))v/|v| where r is any real number, v ∈ V, v ≠ 0 and r 0 = 0 with the notation v r = r v.

Famous quotes containing the words proper, space, model and/or addition:
“But as these angels, the only halted ones
among the many who passed and repassed,
trod air as swimmers tread water, each gazing
on the angelic wings of the other,
the intelligence proper to great angels flew into their wings,
the intelligence called intellectual love....”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“With sturdy shoulders, space stands opposing all its weight to nothingness. Where space is, there is being.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“If the man who paints only the tree, or flower, or other surface he sees before him were an artist, the king of artists would be the photographer. It is for the artist to do something beyond this: in portrait painting to put on canvas something more than the face the model wears for that one day; to paint the man, in short, as well as his features.”
—James Mcneill Whistler (1834–1903)
“The most important American addition to the World Experience was the simple surprising fact of America. We have helped prepare mankind for all its later surprises.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
