A searching algorithm which works on a sorted table by testing the middle of an interval, eliminating the half of the table in which the key cannot lie, and then repeating ...

The bootstrap method is a computer-based method for assigning measures of accuracy to sample estimates (Efron and Tibshirani 1994). This technique allows estimation of the ...

Gray (1997) defines Bour's minimal curve over complex z by x^' = (z^(m-1))/(m-1)-(z^(m+1))/(m+1) (1) y^' = i((z^(m-1))/(m-1)+(z^(m+1))/(m+1)) (2) z^' = (2z^m)/m, (3) and then ...

A minimal surface given by the parametric equations x(u,v) = u-sinucoshv (1) y(u,v) = 1-cosucoshv (2) z(u,v) = 4sin(1/2u)sinh(1/2v) (3) (Gray 1997), or x(r,phi) = ...

The chi distribution with n degrees of freedom is the distribution followed by the square root of a chi-squared random variable. For n=1, the chi distribution is a ...

The corkscrew surface, sometimes also called the twisted sphere (Gray 1997, p. 477), is a surface obtained by extending a sphere along a diameter and then twisting. It can be ...

A cyclic graph is a graph containing at least one graph cycle. A graph that is not cyclic is said to be acyclic. A cyclic graph possessing exactly one (undirected, simple) ...

The ding-dong surface is the cubic surface of revolution given by the equation x^2+y^2=(1-z)z^2 (1) (Hauser 2003) that is closely related to the kiss surface. The surface can ...

A surface of constant negative curvature obtained by twisting a pseudosphere and given by the parametric equations x = acosusinv (1) y = asinusinv (2) z = ...

To generate random points over the unit disk, it is incorrect to use two uniformly distributed variables r in [0,1] and theta in [0,2pi) and then take x = rcostheta (1) y = ...
