Two quantities are said to be different (or "unequal") if they are not equal. The term "different" also has a technical usage related to modules. Let a module M in an ...

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 ...

The dilogarithm Li_2(z) is a special case of the polylogarithm Li_n(z) for n=2. Note that the notation Li_2(x) is unfortunately similar to that for the logarithmic integral ...

A set S of positive integers is said to be Diophantine iff there exists a polynomial Q with integral coefficients in m>=1 indeterminates such that ...

int_0^pi(sin[(n+1/2)x])/(2sin(1/2x))dx=1/2pi, where the integral kernel is the Dirichlet kernel.

A domatic partition is a partition of the vertices of a graph into disjoint dominating sets. The maximum number of disjoint dominating sets in a domatic partition of a graph ...

The Doppler spiral is the curve obtained from an Archimedes' spiral which is translated horizontally with speed k. It has parametric equations x(t) = a(tcost+kt) (1) y(t) = ...

Let the values of a function f(x) be tabulated at points x_i equally spaced by h=x_(i+1)-x_i, so f_1=f(x_1), f_2=f(x_2), ..., f_n=f(x_n). Then Durand's rule approximating the ...

The eccentric angle of a point on an ellipse with semimajor axes of length a and semiminor axes of length b is the angle t in the parametrization x = acost (1) y = bsint, (2) ...

Let (X,B,mu) be a measure space and let E be a measurable set with mu(E)<infty. Let {f_n} be a sequence of measurable functions on E such that each f_n is finite almost ...
