The homeomorphic image of a so-called "complete separable" metric space. The continuous image of a Polish space is called a Souslin set.

A point at which three or more polyhedron edges of a polyhedron meet. The concept can also be generalized to a polytope.

The l^infty-polynomial norm defined for a polynomial P=a_kx^k+...+a_1x+a_0 by ||P||_infty=max_(k)|a_k|. Note that some authors (especially in the area of Diophantine ...

Lachlan's terms for a collection of n points.

A graph G is called d-polytopal if there exists a d-dimensional convex polytope P such that the vertices and edges of G are in a one-to-one incidence-preserving ...

A one-dimensional line segment where two two-dimensional faces of an n-dimensional polytope meet, also called a side.

The term used in physics and engineering for a harmonic function. Potential functions are extremely useful, for example, in electromagnetism, where they reduce the study of a ...

If A is true precisely unless B, then B implies not-A and not-B implies A. J. H. Conway has suggested the term "unlesss" for this state of affairs, by analogy with iff.

The problem of forecasting future values X_(t+tau) (tau>0) of a weakly stationary process {X_t} from the known values X_s (s<=t).

The positive predictive value is the probability that a test gives a true result for a true statistic. The negative predictive value is the probability that a test gives a ...
