Linked from

The 24 pages that link to Configuration space, each with the reason it gives.

• Lagrangian mechanicsNarrower topic: A trajectory is a path through this space, where the action principle selects its motion.

• Phase spaceCompared with: Unlike phase space, it omits momentum variables and therefore does not alone specify general mechanical evolution.

• Fundamental groupRelated: Its loops describe particles moving without collisions, yielding braid groups.

• Rigid bodyNarrower topic: A rigid body's configurations form a space of positions and orientations.

• Affine spaceRelated: Positions of unconstrained points often form affine configuration spaces.

• Smooth manifoldRelated: Constraints often make a system's configuration space a smooth manifold.

• State spaceCompared with: It tracks configurations alone, while a full state space may also encode motion.

• Principle of least actionNarrower topic: A system’s history is represented as a path through its configuration space.

• ManifoldRelated: Configuration spaces are often manifolds and encode the geometry of motion and constraints.

• Reaction coordinateRelated: A multidimensional reaction path lies within the molecular system's configuration space.

• Generalized coordinatesNarrower topic: A generalized coordinate tuple identifies a point in this space.

• Constraint (mechanics)Narrower topic: A constraint selects which configurations in this space are allowed.

• OrientationRelated: Possible orientations form a curved configuration space rather than ordinary three-dimensional Euclidean space.

• Robot kinematicsNarrower topic: Joint positions are coordinates for points in a robot’s configuration space.

• Analytical mechanicsRelated: A system’s path through this space is the object varied in action-based formulations.

• General topologyRelated: Topology can reveal global constraints on how a system's configurations vary.

• De Broglie–Bohm theoryNarrower topic: The wave function guiding many particles is defined over this space.

• Virtual workRelated: Virtual displacements are infinitesimal directions through this space, restricted by constraints.

• Hyperspherical methodNarrower topic: Few-particle coordinates form a multidimensional space whose geometry motivates hyperspherical coordinates.

• Lonely runner conjectureRelated: All runner positions together form a moving point on a torus.

• Position and momentum spacesCompared with: It is the underlying coordinate domain of position-space wavefunctions, not a second conjugate representation.

• Principle of minimum energyNarrower topic: The energy minimum is sought among the configurations allowed by the constraints.

• Three-dimensional system (spatial)Compared with: A system can have a high-dimensional state space even when it occupies ordinary three-dimensional space.

• Two-dimensional spaceRelated: Its dimension counts independent system parameters, not necessarily spatial directions.
