Rule 182 is one of the elementary cellular automaton rules introduced by Stephen Wolfram in 1983 (Wolfram 1983, 2002). It specifies the next color in a cell, depending on its ...

The Schur decomposition of a complex square matrix A is a matrix decomposition of the form Q^(H)AQ=T=D+N, (1) where Q is a unitary matrix, Q^(H) is its conjugate transpose, ...

A function f in C^infty(R^n) is called a Schwartz function if it goes to zero as |x|->infty faster than any inverse power of x, as do all its derivatives. That is, a function ...

The triangle DeltaN_1N_2N_3 formed by joining a set of three Neuberg centers (i.e., centers of the Neuberg circles) obtained from the edges of a given triangle DeltaA_1A_2A_3 ...

A triangle that is equal to its polar triangle with respect to a given conic is said to be self-polar with respect to that conic. Any triangle is self-polar with respect to ...

The metric tensor g on a smooth manifold M=(M,g) is said to be semi-Riemannian if the index of g is nonzero. In nearly all literature, the term semi-Riemannian is used ...

The sign of a real number, also called sgn or signum, is -1 for a negative number (i.e., one with a minus sign "-"), 0 for the number zero, or +1 for a positive number (i.e., ...

Let the values of a function f(x) be tabulated at points x_i equally spaced by h=x_(i+1)-x_i, so f_1=f(x_1), f_2=f(x_2), ..., f_4=f(x_4). Then Simpson's 3/8 rule ...

A sinusoidal spiral is a curve of the form r^n=a^ncos(ntheta), (1) with n rational, which is not a true spiral. Sinusoidal spirals were first studied by Maclaurin. Special ...

SNTP(n) is the smallest prime such that p#-1, p#, or p#+1 is divisible by n, where p# is the primorial of p. Ashbacher (1996) shows that SNTP(n) only exists 1. If there are ...
