The statistical index P_P=(sump_nq_n)/(sump_0q_n), where p_n is the price per unit in period n and q_n is the quantity produced in period n.

A fixed point of a linear transformation for which the rescaled variables satisfy (delta-alpha)^2+4betagamma=0.

A set of blocks, also called a resolution class, that partition the set V, where (V,B) is a balanced incomplete block design.

For a partial order, the size of the longest antichain is called the width.

A characteristic of some systems making a transition to chaos. Doubling is followed by quadrupling, etc. An example of a map displaying period doubling is the logistic map.

An adjoint curve which bears a special relation to the base curve.

An upper semicontinuous function whose restrictions to all complex lines are subharmonic (where defined). These functions were introduced by P. Lelong and Oka in the early ...

The addition of two quantities, i.e., a plus b. The operation is denoted a+b, and the symbol + is called the plus sign. Floating-point addition is sometimes denoted direct ...

Every bounded operator T acting on a Hilbert space H has a decomposition T=U|T|, where |T|=(T^*T)^(1/2) and U is a partial isometry. This decomposition is called polar ...

The Pontryagin number is defined in terms of the Pontryagin class of a manifold as follows. For any collection of Pontryagin classes such that their cup product has the same ...
