In number theory (e.g., Ivić 2003), the symbol log_kx is commonly used to mean the nested logarithm (also called the repeated logarithm or iterated logarithm) ...

Beautiful patterns can be created by drawing sets of nested polygons such that the incircle of the nth polygon is the circumcircle of the (n+1)st and successive polygons are ...

The nested radical constant is the constant defined by C = sqrt(1+sqrt(2+sqrt(3+sqrt(4+sqrt(5+...))))) (1) = 1.75793275... (2) (OEIS A072449). No closed-form expression is ...

The probability that two elements P_1 and P_2 of a symmetric group generate the entire group tends to 3/4 as n->infty (Netto 1964, p. 90). The conjecture was proven by Dixon ...

A paradox in decision theory. Given two boxes, B1 which contains $1000 and B2 which contains either nothing or a million dollars, you may pick either B2 or both. However, at ...

If the Gauss map of a complete minimal surface omits a neighborhood of the sphere, then the surface is a plane. This was proven by Osserman (1959). Xavier (1981) subsequently ...

A non-Abelian group, also sometimes known as a noncommutative group, is a group some of whose elements do not commute. The simplest non-Abelian group is the dihedral group ...

The following table gives the number of nonadjacent vertex pairs k on graphs of n=1, 2, ... vertices. k counts 1 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, ... 2 0, 0, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, ... 3 0, 0, ...

A noneulerian graph is a graph that is not Eulerian. The numbers of simple noneulerian graphs on n=1, 2, ... nodes are 2, 3, 10, 30, 148, 1007, 12162, 272886, ... (OEIS ...

Consider the number of sequences that can be formed from permutations of a set of elements such that each partial sum is nonnegative. The number of sequences with nonnegative ...
