A linear code C is cyclic if for every codeword (c_0,c_1,...,c_(n-1)) in C, the codeword (c_(n-1),c_0,c_1,...,c_(n-2)) is also in C.

A vector v on a Hilbert space H is said to be cyclic if there exists some bounded linear operator T on H so that the set of orbits {T^iv}_(i=0)^infty={v,Tv,T^2v,...} is dense ...

The n-cyclohedron, also known as the Bott-Taubes polytope, is defined as the compactification of the configuration space of n points on the circle. The cyclohedron can be ...

A continuum is a decomposable continuum if and only if it is the union of two of its proper subcontinua. A continuum that is not decomposable is an indecomposable continuum.

Deduction is the process of drawing conclusions from premises and syllogisms.

A degree set is a set of integers that make up a degree sequence. Any set of positive integers is the degree set for some graph, because any odd integer from that set can be ...

An illusion due to Franz Joseph Delboeuf, a Belgian philosopher and expert on hypnosis. If the same circle is placed inside two different concentric circles, its size will ...

A diafix of a string T=s_1s_2...s_N is a substring s_(i+1)...s_(N-i) (0<=i<N/2). It is therefore not a first (prefix) or last (suffix) part of a string, but rather is a ...

Two manifolds are said to be diffeomorphic if there exists a diffeomorphism between them.

A differential ideal I on a manifold M is an ideal in the exterior algebra of differential k-forms on M which is also closed under the exterior derivative d. That is, for any ...
