monogon

Where it comes from

From mono- + -gon.

noun monogons

  1. A one-dimensional object comprising one vertex and one (not necessarily straight) edge both of whose ends are that vertex. A geodesic with multiple points contains at least one simple monogon.
  2. A two-dimensional object comprising one vertex, one edge both of whose ends are that vertex, and one face filling in the hollow formed by that edge. According to Theorem 4.1.1, such a derived imbedding could be obtained from an imbedded voltage graph with one vertex, 6s#43;2 edges, and 4s#43;2 faces. Of these faces, 4s#43;1 should be 3-sided and satisfy KVL. The other face should be a monogon whose net voltage has order two.
  3. A single-faceted reflector. A new optical scanner is described which serves as a monogon or single-facet device, providing one scan per shaft rotation.
