Two curves phi and psi satisfying phi+psi=0 are said to be linearly dependent. Similarly, n curves phi_i, i=1, ..., n are said to be linearly dependent if sum_(i=1)^nphi_i=0.

A polynomial is called logarithmically concave (or log-concave) if the sequence of its coefficients is logarithmically concave. If P(x) is log-convex and Q(x) is unimodal, ...

A two-dimensional map similar to the Hénon map but with the term -alphax_n^2 replaced by -alpha|x_n|. It is given by the equations x_(n+1) = 1-alpha|x_n|+y_n (1) y_(n+1) = ...

The generalization of the Schönflies theorem to n dimensions. A smoothly embedded n-hypersphere in an (n+1)-hypersphere separates the (n+1)-hypersphere into two components, ...

The nth-order Menger sponge graph is the connectivity graph of cubes in the nth iteration of the Menger sponge fractal. The first two iterations are shown above. The n-Menger ...

A collection of moves together with a corresponding set of weights which are followed probabilistically in the playing of a game. The minimax theorem of game theory states ...

Possessing more than one mode. A set of values having a single unique mode is said to be unimodal, one with two modes is called bimodal, and one with three modes is called ...

Multivariable calculus is the branch of calculus that studies functions of more than one variable. Partial derivatives and multiple integrals are the generalizations of ...

The mutual information between two discrete random variables X and Y is defined to be I(X;Y)=sum_(x in X)sum_(y in Y)P(x,y)log_2((P(x,y))/(P(x)P(y))) (1) bits. Additional ...

There are two equivalent definitions for a nilpotent matrix. 1. A square matrix whose eigenvalues are all 0. 2. A square matrix A such that A^n is the zero matrix 0 for some ...
