A numerical knot invariant. For a tame knot K, the bridge index is the least bridge number of all planar representations of the knot. The bridge index of the unknot is ...

Brocard's conjecture states that pi(p_(n+1)^2)-pi(p_n^2)>=4 for n>=2, where pi(n) is the prime counting function and p_n is the nth prime. For n=1, 2, ..., the first few ...

The inverse of the Laplace transform, given by F(t)=1/(2pii)int_(gamma-iinfty)^(gamma+iinfty)e^(st)f(s)ds, where gamma is a vertical contour in the complex plane chosen so ...

The chromatic number of a graph is at most the maximum vertex degree Delta, unless the graph is complete or an odd cycle, in which case Delta+1 colors are required.

For every positive integer n, there exists a square in the plane with exactly n lattice points in its interior. This was extended by Schinzel and Kulikowski to all plane ...

For a fractal process with values y(t-Deltat) and y(t+Deltat), the correlation between these two values is given by the Brown function r=2^(2H-1)-1, also known as the ...

A sequence {nu_i} of nondecreasing positive integers is complete iff 1. nu_1=1. 2. For all k=2, 3, ..., s_(k-1)=nu_1+nu_2+...+nu_(k-1)>=nu_k-1. A corollary states that a ...

An extension of the secant method of root finding to higher dimensions.

A Brunnian link is a set of n linked loops such that each proper sublink is trivial, so that the removal of any component leaves a set of trivial unlinked unknots. The ...

Brun's sieve was refined by J. B. Rosser, G. Ricci, and others.
