https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle%20of%20parallelism | In hyperbolic geometry, angle of parallelism is the angle at the non-right angle vertex of a right hyperbolic triangle having two asymptotic parallel sides. The angle depends on the segment length a between the right angle and the vertex of the angle of parallelism.
Given a point not on a line, drop a perpendicular... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ihara%20zeta%20function | In mathematics, the Ihara zeta function is a zeta function associated with a finite graph. It closely resembles the Selberg zeta function, and is used to relate closed walks to the spectrum of the adjacency matrix. The Ihara zeta function was first defined by Yasutaka Ihara in the 1960s in the context of discrete subgr... |
