The hippopede, also known as the horse fetter, is a curve given by the polar equation r^2=4b(a-bsin^2theta). Hippopedes are plotted above for values of a/b=0.2 to 2.0.

The partial differential equation

A knot that secures a rope to a post, ring, another rope, etc., but does not keep its shape by itself.

Let V be an inner product space and let x,y,z in V. Hlawka's inequality states that ||x+y||+||y+z||+||z+x||<=||x||+||y||+||z||+||x+y+z||, where the norm ||z|| denotes the ...

On an oriented n-dimensional Riemannian manifold, the Hodge star is a linear function which converts alternating differential k-forms to alternating (n-k)-forms. If w is an ...

The mathematical study of a nonlinear equation f(phi)=y, where f maps from a Hilbert space X to a Hilbert space Y and y in Y which abstracts the construction of optical ...

The holomorphic tangent bundle to a complex manifold is given by its complexified tangent vectors which are of type (1,0). In a coordinate chart z=(z_1,...,z_n), the bundle ...

A complex vector bundle is a vector bundle pi:E->M whose fiber bundles pi^(-1)(m) are a copy of C^k. pi is a holomorphic vector bundle if it is a holomorphic map between ...

A solution of a linear homogeneous ordinary differential equation with polynomial coefficients.

A general concept in category theory involving the globalization of topological or differential structures. The term derives from the Greek omicronlambdaomicronsigma (holos) ...
