    Double Cone

    Example plot

    Alternate names
    Equations

    x(u, v) = a u cos(v) y(u, v) = a u sin(v) z(u, v) = u

    z^2 = (x^2 + y^2)/a^2

    Surface properties

    2

    ds^2 = a^2 + 1 du^2 + a^2 u^2 dv^2

    dA = a sqrt(a^2 + 1) u du dv

    x^_ = (0, 0, 0)

    K(u, v) = 0

    (for an infinite double-napped right cone with axis of symmetry along the z-axis and vertex located at at the origin)

    Metric properties

    g_(uu) = a^2 + 1 g_(vv) = a^2 u^2

    Γ | u | | | vv = -(a^2 u)/(a^2 + 1) Γ | v | | | uv = 1/u Γ | v | | | vu = 1/u

    E(u, v) = a^2 + 1 F(u, v) = 0 G(u, v) = a^2 u^2

    e(u, v) = 0 f(u, v) = 0 g(u, v) = (a abs(u))/sqrt(a^2 + 1)

    Vector properties

    left double bracketing bar x(u, v) right double bracketing bar = sqrt(a^2 + 1) abs(u)

    N^^(u, v) = ((cos(v) sgn(u))/sqrt(1 + a^2), (sgn(u) sin(v))/sqrt(1 + a^2), -a/(sgn(u) sqrt(1 + a^2)))
