The functional derivative is a generalization of the usual derivative that arises in the calculus of variations. In a functional derivative, instead of differentiating a ...

The curvature and torsion functions along a space curve determine it up to an orientation-preserving isometry.

Let t be an infinite word over a finite alphabet Sigma. Then there exists a uniformly recurrent infinite word r such that Sub(r) subset= Sub(t), where Sub(w) is the set of ...

A transformation from one reference frame to another moving with a constant velocity v with respect to the first for classical motion. However, special relativity shows that ...

Bracewell's term for the rectangle function.

If x_1<x_2<...<x_n denote the zeros of p_n(x), there exist real numbers lambda_1,lambda_2,...,lambda_n such that ...

Consider two closed oriented space curves f_1:C_1->R^3 and f_2:C_2->R^3, where C_1 and C_2 are distinct circles, f_1 and f_2 are differentiable C^1 functions, and f_1(C_1) ...

Let f be an integer polynomial. The f can be factored into a product of two polynomials of lower degree with rational coefficients iff it can be factored into a product of ...

A perspective collineation in which the center and axis are not incident. The term was first used by Poncelet (Cremona 1960, p. ix).

A special case of a flag manifold. A Grassmann manifold is a certain collection of vector subspaces of a vector space. In particular, g_(n,k) is the Grassmann manifold of ...
