1852 W. Smyth Elem. Plane Trigonom. 73 (heading) Expressions for the sines and cosines of multiple arcs... sin 2 a = 2 sin a cos a.

1921 Amer. Math. Monthly 28 454 This difference in each case is obtained in an expression in the sines of the multiple arcs of the other latitude in question.

1986 U. Bottazzini Higher Calculus ii. 72 Even discontinuous arbitrary functions can always be represented by expansions into sines or cosines of multiple arcs.

1861 W. Thomson in Proc. Royal Soc. 11 321 I have formed a plan..which consists in combining the standards..in multiple arc (or ‘parallel’ arcs, according to an expression sometimes used), so as to add their conducting powers,—instead of in series..by which the resistances..are added.

1873 F. Jenkin Electr. & Magn. iv. 88 With a long circuit of great external resistance large cells, or many of them joined in multiple arc, will fail to give us strong currents.

1890 Scribner's Mag. Apr. 435/2 Another method..is the connection of the lamps across the circuit... This is called the ‘multiple arc’ or ‘parallel’ system.

1967 SIAM Jrnl. Appl. Math. 15 1228 We consider all arcs to have capacity one, but we permit multiple arcs between any two nodes.

1987 SIAM Rev. 29 291 A directed graph..consists of a finite non-empty set of vertices V and of a set of arcs T... Multiple arcs are not allowed.
