Let X be a set and S a collection of subsets of X. A set function mu:S->[0,infty] is said to possess finite monotonicity provided that, whenever a set E in S is covered by a ...

A set function mu is said to possess finite subadditivity if, given any finite disjoint collection of sets {E_k}_(k=1)^n on which mu is defined, mu( union ...

A finitely presented group is a group with a finite number of generators and relations. A mathematical joke involving finitely presented groups is given by Renteln and Dundes ...

A reduction system is called finitely terminating (or Noetherian) if there are no infinite rewriting sequences. This property guarantees that any rewriting algorithm will ...

Let A be a C^*-algebra and A_+ be its positive part. Suppose that E is a complex linear space which is a left A-module and lambda(ax)=(lambdaa)x=a(lambdax), where lambda in ...

The first group isomorphism theorem, also known as the fundamental homomorphism theorem, states that if phi:G->H is a group homomorphism, then Ker(phi)⊴G and ...

Let X(x)=X(x_1,x_2,...,x_n) be a random vector in R^n and let f_X(x) be a probability distribution on X with continuous first and second order partial derivatives. The Fisher ...

Fisheye perspective is a two-part projection. First, three-dimensional space is projected onto the surface of a hemisphere, by connecting every external point to the center ...

Five point geometry is a finite geometry subject to the following three axioms: 1. there exist exactly five points, 2. each two distinct points have exactly one line on both ...

For any sequence of integers 0<n_1<...<n_k, there is a flag manifold of type (n_1, ..., n_k) which is the collection of ordered sets of vector subspaces of R^(n_k) (V_1, ..., ...
