A merit function, also known as a figure-of-merit function, is a function that measures the agreement between data and the fitting model for a particular choice of the ...

The second theorem of Mertens states that the asymptotic form of the harmonic series for the sum of reciprocal primes is given by sum_(p<=x)1/p=lnlnx+B_1+o(1), where p is a ...

A metadrome is a number whose hexadecimal digits are in strict ascending order. The first few are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, ... ...

A statement about theorems. It usually gives a criterion for getting a new theorem from an old one, either by changing its objects according to a rule (duality principle), or ...

The study of the inner structure of a mathematical theory considered as a whole. It deals with the general properties of the rules according to which the objects of a certain ...

An algorithm for finding roots which retains that prior estimate for which the function value has opposite sign from the function value at the current best estimate of the ...

A metric space is a set S with a global distance function (the metric g) that, for every two points x,y in S, gives the distance between them as a nonnegative real number ...

A Meyniel graph, also called a very strongly perfect graph, is a graph in which every odd cycle of length five or more has at least two chords. Meyniel graphs are perfect. ...

The sequence produced by starting with a_1=1 and applying the greedy algorithm in the following way: for each k>=2, let a_k be the least integer exceeding a_(k-1) for which ...

An inequality which implies the correctness of the Robertson conjecture (Milin 1964). de Branges (1985) proved this conjecture, which led to the proof of the full Bieberbach ...
