Revision as of 17:18, 22 July 2017 by Mathwiz0803 (talk | contribs)

In mathematics, a homothety (or homothecy) is a transformation of space which dilates distances with respect to a fixed point. Such a transformation is also called an enlargement. A homothety with center $H$ and factor $k$ sends point $A$ to a point $A' \ni HA'=k\cdot HA$ This is denoted by $\mathcal{H}(H, k)$.
