Translation (geometry) of the object. The translation vector formula_8 common to all points of the object describes a particular type of displacement of the object, usually called a "linear" displacement to distinguish it from displacements involving rotation, called "angular" displacements. When considering spacetime, a change of time coordinate is considered to be a translation. For example, the Galilean group and the Poincaré group include translations with respect to time. Translation (geometry) In Euclidean geometry, a translation is a geometric transformation that moves every point of a figure or a space by the same distance in a given direction. In Euclidean geometry a
Distance geometry problem supposed to be exact, as well as when some available distance is represented by a suitable interval. Crippen and Havel are two pioneers of DGP, and they co-authored the book "Distance Geometry and Molecular Conformation", 1988. Much more recently, an edited book, collecting the most recent efforts from the scientific community for solving the DGP, was published by Springer. See this web page for the list of contributions. Various conferences and workshops are held every year, where the focus is on DGP-related topics. However, the very first workshop completely devoted to DGP and its applications was held in 2013 in
