Orthogonal projections of multidimensional ellipsoids – I – points on the ellipsoid that give us the surface points of the projection

A reader of a parallel post-series on n-ellipsoids has asked me how I could know what the matrix for the quadratic form of the orthogonal projection of a (n-1) dimensional-ellipsoid onto a (n-1)-dimensional sub-space of the ℝn looks like. I had stated in previous posts that we can directly derive the elements of the matrix describing projections of ellipsoids or… Read More »Orthogonal projections of multidimensional ellipsoids – I – points on the ellipsoid that give us the surface points of the projection

Concentric surfaces of ellipsoids

n-dimensional spheres and ellipsoids – II – volume of n-ellipsoids

This post series provides some insights into the nature of n-dimensional spheres and ellipsoids and the derivation of some special integrals over their volumes. In this 2nd post we look at the volume of a “(n-1)–ellipsoid“. This term refers to a closed ellipsoidal surface in a n-dimensional Euclidean space. Such a surface is a (n-1)-dimensional manifold. See the 1st post… Read More »n-dimensional spheres and ellipsoids – II – volume of n-ellipsoids
