Sigmoidakolmio

Sigmoidakolmio, Finnish for sigmoid triangle, is a term that appears in some Finnish-language discussions of geometry, data visualization, and related areas. It does not correspond to a widely standardized concept in international mathematics literature, and reliable definitional sources are scarce.

The word combines sigmoida (sigmoid) and kolmio (triangle), suggesting a triangular object connected to sigmoid-shaped relationships or curves. Because there is no broadly accepted definition, the meaning of sigmoidakolmio varies by author and context.

Some authors use the term to describe a triangle whose vertices lie on a sigmoid curve or on a pair of sigmoid curves, effectively mapping a nonlinear boundary. Others refer to a triangle whose side lengths or angles are controlled by a sigmoid function, to illustrate smooth but nonlinear changes. In data visualization or neural network contexts, the term may be used metaphorically to indicate a triangular arrangement that captures sigmoid-like transitions.

A concrete but simple interpretation is a triangle with vertices at (x1, S(x1)), (x2, S(x2)), (x3, S(x3)) in the plane, where S is a sigmoid function such as S(x) = 1/(1+e^{-x}) and x1 < x2 < x3. This yields a triangle whose shape reflects the sigmoid's curvature, but this is only one possible convention among others.

Because the term lacks a fixed definition, readers seeking rigorous usage should consult primary sources that coin the term. See also sigmoid function, triangle, computational geometry, data visualization. Notes: this article is a stub; please add reliable sources if available.
