A similarity transformation which transforms each line to a parallel line whose length is a fixed multiple of the length of the original line. The simplest dilation is ...

sum_(1<=k<=n)(n; k)((-1)^(k-1))/(k^m)=sum_(1<=i_1<=i_2<=...<=i_m<=n)1/(i_1i_2...i_m), (1) where (n; k) is a binomial coefficient (Dilcher 1995, Flajolet and Sedgewick 1995, ...

The partial order width of a set P is equal to the minimum number of chains needed to cover P. Equivalently, if a set P of ab+1 elements is partially ordered, then P contains ...

Each of the sets forming a direct product is said to be a direct factor. A group G is said to be a direct factor of the group G^' if G^' is isomorphic to the group direct ...

The direct limit, also called a colimit, of a family of R-modules is the dual notion of an inverse limit and is characterized by the following mapping property. For a ...

Direct search factorization is the simplest (and most simple-minded) prime factorization algorithm. It consists of searching for factors of a number by systematically ...

A Dirichlet L-series is a series of the form L_k(s,chi)=sum_(n=1)^inftychi_k(n)n^(-s), (1) where the number theoretic character chi_k(n) is an integer function with period k, ...

A topological space that is not connected, i.e., which can be decomposed as the disjoint union of two nonempty open subsets. Equivalently, it can be characterized as a space ...

The term discrete percolation is used to describe models of percolation theory whose media are discrete sets like sets of regular lattice points (e.g., bond percolation and ...

The disdyakis triacontahedron is the dual polyhedron of the Archimedean great rhombicosidodecahedron A_2. It is also known as the hexakis icosahedron (Holden 1971, p. 55). It ...
