The catacaustic of a parabola (t,t^2) opening upward is complicated for a general radiant point (x,y). However, the equations simplify substantially in the case x=infty ...

The pentagonal orthobicupola is a convex equilateral orthobicupola having regular pentagonal upper and lower faces. It is Johnson solid J_(30). The unit pentagonal ...

Polynomials P_k(x) which form the Sheffer sequence for g(t) = (2t)/(e^t-1) (1) f(t) = (e^t-1)/(e^t+1) (2) and have generating function ...

Let a>|b|, and write h(theta)=(acostheta+b)/(2sintheta). (1) Then define P_n(x;a,b) by the generating function f(x,w)=f(costheta,w)=sum_(n=0)^inftyP_n(x;a,b)w^n ...

A polyare is a polyform formed from a polyomino by removing of half of each square such that at least half of the original join between squares is retained. The first few ...

There appears to be no standard term for a simple connected graph with exactly n edges, though the words "polynema" (Kyrmse) and "polyedge" (Muñiz 2011) have been proposed. ...

The prime signature of a positive integer n is a sorted list of nonzero exponents a_i in the prime factorization n=p_1^(a_1)p_2^(a_2).... By definition, the prime signature ...

A number satisfying Fermat's little theorem (or some other primality test) for some nontrivial base. A probable prime which is shown to be composite is called a pseudoprime ...

The quartic formula is a name sometimes given to one of the related explicit formulas for the four roots z_1, ..., z_4 of an arbitrary quartic equation with real coefficients ...

Let a sequence be defined by A_(-1) = s (1) A_0 = 3 (2) A_1 = r (3) A_n = rA_(n-1)-sA_(n-2)+A_(n-3). (4) Also define the associated polynomial f(x)=x^3-rx^2+sx+1, (5) and let ...
