Let L=(L, ^ , v ) and K=(K, ^ , v ) be lattices, and let h:L->K. A lattice endomorphism is a mapping h:L->L that preserves both meets and joins.

Let L=(L, ^ , v ) and K=(K, ^ , v ) be lattices, and let h:L->K. A lattice isomorphism is a one-to-one and onto lattice homomorphism.

Let L=(L, ^ , v ) be a lattice, and let f,g:L->L. Then the pair (f,g) is a polarity of L if and only if f is a decreasing join-endomorphism and g is an increasing ...

Let L=(L, ^ , v ) be a lattice, and let tau subset= L^2. Then tau is a tolerance if and only if it is a reflexive and symmetric sublattice of L^2. Tolerances of lattices, ...

With a large enough sample, any outrageous thing is likely to happen (Diaconis and Mosteller 1989). Littlewood (1986) considered an event which occurs one in a million times ...

Gamma functions of argument 2z can be expressed in terms of gamma functions of smaller arguments. From the definition of the beta function, ...

A number of points on a line segment. The term was first used by Desargues (Cremona 1960, p. x). If the points A, B, C, ... lie on a line segment with the coordinates of the ...

For any algebraic number x of degree n>2, a rational approximation p/q to x must satisfy |x-p/q|>1/(q^n) for sufficiently large q. Writing r=n leads to the definition of the ...

The second-order ordinary differential equation y^('')+g(y)y^('2)+f(x)y^'=0 (1) is called Liouville's equation (Goldstein and Braun 1973; Zwillinger 1997, p. 124), as are the ...

The study of number fields by embedding them in a local field is called local class field theory. Information about an equation in a local field may give information about ...
