The series producing Brun's constant converges even if there are an infinite number of twin primes, first proved by Brun (1919).

The system of ordinary differential equations u^' = A+u^2v-(B+1)u (1) v^' = Bu-u^2v (2) (Hairer et al. 1987, p. 112; Zwillinger 1997, p. 136). The so-called full Brusselator ...

A paradox arising in the use of comparative adjectives. Suppose you have exactly two brothers, both of whom are older than you are. Then the following apparently false ...

The Buchstab function omega(u) is defined by the delay differential equation {uomega(u)=1 for 1<=u<=2; (uomega(u))^'=omega(u-1) for u>2 (1) (Panario 1998). It approaches the ...

A highly structured geometric object used to study groups which act upon them.

A section of a fiber bundle gives an element of the fiber over every point in B. Usually it is described as a map s:B->E such that pi degreess is the identity on B. A ...

The integral transform defined by (Kphi)(x)=int_0^infty(x^2-t^2)_+^(lambda/2)P_nu^lambda(t/x)phi(t)dt, where y_+^alpha is the truncated power function and P_nu^lambda(x) is ...

The 6-polyiamond illustrated above.

A C^*-algebra is a Banach algebra with an antiautomorphic involution * which satisfies (x^*)^* = x (1) x^*y^* = (yx)^* (2) x^*+y^* = (x+y)^* (3) (cx)^* = c^_x^*, (4) where ...

A representation of a C^*-algebra A is a pair (H,phi) where H is a Hilbert space and phi:A->B(H) is a *-homomorphism. (H,phi) is said to be faithful if phi is injective. For ...
