The function defined by [n]_q = [n; 1]_q (1) = (1-q^n)/(1-q) (2) for integer n, where [n; k]_q is a q-binomial coefficient. The q-bracket satisfies lim_(q->1^-)[n]_q=n. (3)

A series is said to be conditionally convergent iff it is convergent, the series of its positive terms diverges to positive infinity, and the series of its negative terms ...

A permutation group is a finite group G whose elements are permutations of a given set and whose group operation is composition of permutations in G. Permutation groups have ...

Let K_1 be a knot inside a torus, and knot the torus in the shape of a second knot (called the companion knot) K_2, with certain additional mild restrictions to avoid trivial ...

Solomon's seal knot is the prime (5,2)-torus knot 5_1 with braid word sigma_1^5. It is also known as the cinquefoil knot (a name derived from certain herbs and shrubs of the ...

The stevedore's knot is the 6-crossing prime knot 6_1. It is implemented in the Wolfram Language as KnotData["Stevedore"]. It has braid word ...

A knot property, also called the twist number, defined as the sum of crossings p of a link L, w(L)=sum_(p in C(L))epsilon(p), (1) where epsilon(p) defined to be +/-1 if the ...

A path in a graph G is a subgraph of G that is a path graph (West 2000, p. 20). The length of a path is the number of edges it contains. In most contexts, a path must contain ...

The parameters alpha, beta, gamma, and delta which, like the three Euler angles, provide a way to uniquely characterize the orientation of a solid body. These parameters ...

A rotation group is a group in which the elements are orthogonal matrices with determinant 1. In the case of three-dimensional space, the rotation group is known as the ...
