An embedding of a 1-sphere in a 3-manifold which exists continuously over the 2-disk also extends over the disk as an embedding. An alternate phrasing is that if a knot group ...

The operator partial^_ is defined on a complex manifold, and is called the 'del bar operator.' The exterior derivative d takes a function and yields a one-form. It decomposes ...

The Delaunay triangulation is a triangulation which is equivalent to the nerve of the cells in a Voronoi diagram, i.e., that triangulation of the convex hull of the points in ...

Amazingly, the catacaustic of the deltoid when the rays are parallel in any direction is an astroid. In particular, for a deltoid with parametric equations x = 2cost+cos(2t) ...

In continuum theory, a dendrite is a locally connected continuum that contains no simple closed curve. A semicircle is therefore a dendrite, while a triangle is not. The term ...

A Julia set with constant c chosen at the boundary of the Mandelbrot set (Branner 1989; Dufner et al. 1998, p. 225). The image above was computed using c=i.

A type of integral which is an extension of both the Riemann integral and the Lebesgue integral. The original Denjoy integral is now called a Denjoy integral "in the ...

A set is denumerable iff it is equipollent to the finite ordinal numbers. (Moore 1982, p. 6; Rubin 1967, p. 107; Suppes 1972, pp. 151-152). However, Ciesielski (1997, p. 64) ...

A search algorithm of a tree that explores the first child of a node before visiting its siblings. Tarjan (1972) and Hopcroft and Tarjan (1973) showed that depth-first search ...

The total angular defect is the sum of the angular defects over all polyhedron vertices of a polyhedron, where the angular defect delta at a given polyhedron vertex is the ...
