Circle a triangle whose base has the length of the circle's circumference and whose height equals the circle's radius, which comes to multiplied by the radius squared: Equivalently, denoting diameter by "d", that is, approximately 79% of the circumscribing square (whose side is of length "d"). The circle is the plane curve enclosing the maximum area for a given arc length. This relates the circle to a problem in the calculus of variations, namely the isoperimetric inequality. Equation of a circle<br> In an "x"–"y" Cartesian coordinate system, the circle with centre coordinates ("a", "b") and radius "r" is the set of
Straight-line grammar minimal size that generates a given string is called the smallest grammar problem. Straight-line grammars (more precisely: straight-line context-free string grammars) can be generalized to "Straight-line context-free tree grammars". The latter can be used conveniently to compress trees. A context-free grammar "G" is an SLG if: 1. for every non-terminal "N", there is at most one production rule that has "N" as its left-hand side, and 2. the directed graph "G"=<"V","E">, defined by "V" being the set of non-terminals and ("A","B") ∈ "E" whenever "B" appears at the right-hand side of a production rule for "A", is acyclic.
