A p-elementary subgroup of a finite group G is a subgroup H which is the group direct product H=C_n×P, where P is a p-group, C_n is a cyclic group, and p does not divide n.

A shorthand name for a series with the variable k taken to a negative exponent, e.g., sum_(k=1)^(infty)k^(-p), where p>1. p-series are given in closed form by the Riemann ...

The q-analog of the derivative, defined by (d/(dx))_qf(x)=(f(x)-f(qx))/(x-qx). (1) For example, (d/(dx))_qsinx = (sinx-sin(qx))/(x-qx) (2) (d/(dx))_qlnx = ...

where _8phi_7 is a q-hypergeometric function.

A q-analog of the multinomial coefficient, defined as ([a_1+...+a_n]_q!)/([a_1]_q!...[a_n]_q!), where [n]_q! is a q-factorial.

The q-analog of the Pochhammer symbol defined by (a;q)_k={product_(j=0)^(k-1)(1-aq^j) if k>0; 1 if k=0; product_(j=1)^(|k|)(1-aq^(-j))^(-1) if k<0; ...

A t-(v,k,lambda) block design (abbreviated t-design) is an incidence structure of points and blocks such that the following hold: 1. There are v points, 2. Each block ...

Let a group G have a group presentation G=<x_1,...,x_n|r_j(x_1,...,x_n),j in J> so that G=F/R, where F is the free group with basis {x_1,...,x_n} and R is the normal subgroup ...

The vertical axis of a two-dimensional plot in Cartesian coordinates. Physicists and astronomers sometimes call this axis the ordinate, although that term is more commonly ...
