The motion along a phase curve as a function of time (Tabor 1989, p. 14).

For a function with 2 degrees of freedom, the 2-dimensional phase space that is accessible to the function or object is called its phase plane.

For a system of n first-order ordinary differential equations (or more generally, Pfaffian forms), the 2n-dimensional space consisting of the possible values of ...

The partial differential equation u_(tt)-u_(xx)-u+u^3=0.

The beautiful arrangement of leaves in some plants, called phyllotaxis, obeys a number of subtle mathematical relationships. For instance, the florets in the head of a ...

If f is a continuous function that satisfies the Lipschitz condition |f(x,t)-f(y,t)|<=L|x-y| (1) in a surrounding of (x_0,t_0) in Omega subset ...

A function or curve is piecewise continuous if it is continuous on all but a finite number of points at which certain matching conditions are sometimes required.

For every k>1, there exist only finite many pairs of powers (p,p^') with p and p^' natural numbers and k=p^'-p.

A singular point such that every neighborhood of the point intersects itself. Pinch points are also called Whitney singularities or branch points.

Let x:p(x)->xp(x), then for any operator T, T^'=Tx-xT is called the Pincherle derivative of T. If T is a shift-invariant operator, then its Pincherle derivative is also a ...
