Centroid
Meaning
Noun
●
In Engineering, Geometry & Physics:
The point at which
gravitational force
(or other
universally
and
uniformly
acting
force
) may
be supposed to
act on
a given
rigid
,
uniformly
dense
body; the
centre of gravity
or
centre
of mass.
●
In Geometry:
The point of
intersection
of the three
medians
of a given
triangle
; the point whose (Cartesian)
coordinates
are the
arithmetic mean
of the
coordinates
of the three vertices.
●
the point whose (Cartesian)
coordinates
are the
arithmetic mean
of the
coordinates
of a given
finite
set of points.
●
In Mathematical analysis:
An
analogue
of the
centre of gravity
of a
nonuniform
body in which local
density
is
replaced
by a
specified
function
(which can take
negative
values
) and the place of the body's
shape
is
taken
by the
function
's domain.
●
In Statistics:
the
arithmetic mean
(alternatively,
median
)
position
of a
cluster
of
points
in a
coordinate system
based on some application-dependent
measure
of distance.
●
In Graph theory:
Given a
tree
of
n
node
s, either (1) a
unique
node
whose
removal
would
split
the
tree
into
subtrees
of
fewer
than
n
/2
node
s, or (2) either of a
pair
of
adjacent
node
s
such that
removal
of the
edge
connecting
them would
split
the
tree
into two
subtrees
of
exactly
n
/2
node
s.
