A spigot algorithm is an algorithm which generates digits of a quantity one at a time without using or requiring previously computed digits. Amazingly, spigot algorithms are ...

The image on the Riemann sphere of any circle under a complex rational mapping with numerator and denominator having degrees no more than n has length no longer than 2npi.

The inversion of a spindle torus. If the inversion center lies on the torus, then the spindle cyclide degenerates to a parabolic spindle cyclide.

A function f(x) has a spinode (also called a horizontal cusp) at a point x_0 if f(x) is continuous at x_0 and lim_(x->x_0)f^'(x)=infty from one side while ...

A fixed point for which the eigenvalues are complex conjugates.

A polynomial p(x)=sumc_ix^i is said to split over a field K if p(x)=aproduct_(i)(x-alpha_i) where a and alpha_i are in K. Then the polynomial is said to split into linear ...

A link L is said to be splittable if a plane can be embedded in R^3 such that the plane separates one or more components of L from other components of L and the plane is ...

A perimeter-bisecting line segment which originates at a vertex of a polygon. The three splitters of a triangle concur in a point known as the Nagel point Na.

A method for computing an Egyptian fraction. This method always terminates (Beeckmans 1993).

A three-dimensional knot spun about a plane in four dimensions. Unlike suspended knots, spun knots are smoothly embedded at the poles.
