Mydriasis Mydriasis Mydriasis () is the dilation of the pupil, usually having a non-physiological cause, or sometimes a physiological pupillary response. Non-physiological causes of mydriasis include disease, trauma, or the use of drugs. Normally, as part of the pupillary light reflex, the pupil dilates in the dark and constricts in the light to respectively improve vividity at night and to protect the retina from sunlight damage during the day. A "mydriatic" pupil will remain excessively large even in a bright environment. The excitation of the radial fibres of the iris which increases the pupillary aperture is referred to as a mydriasis.
Normally hyperbolic invariant manifold the unstable bundle and denoted "E" and "E", respectively. With respect to some Riemannian metric on "M", the restriction of "Df" to "E" must be a contraction and the restriction of "Df" to "E" must be an expansion, and must be relatively neutral on formula_4. Thus, there exist constants formula_5 and "c" > 0 such that and Normally hyperbolic invariant manifold A normally hyperbolic invariant manifold (NHIM) is a natural generalization of a hyperbolic fixed point and a hyperbolic set. The difference can be described heuristically as follows: For a manifold formula_1 to be normally hyperbolic we are allowed to
