Lachlan's terms for a collection of n points.

A one-dimensional line segment where two two-dimensional faces of an n-dimensional polytope meet, also called a side.

There are 10 stellated regular 4-polytopes (Wells 1991, p. 209).

The ith Pontryagin class of a vector bundle is (-1)^i times the ith Chern class of the complexification of the vector bundle. It is also in the 4ith cohomology group of the ...

A result in control theory. Define H(psi,x,u)=(psi,f(x,u))=sum_(a=0)^npsi_af^a(x,u). Then in order for a control u(t) and a trajectory x(t) to be optimal, it is necessary ...

The Pontryagin number is defined in terms of the Pontryagin class of a manifold as follows. For any collection of Pontryagin classes such that their cup product has the same ...

The partial differential equation u_t=del ·(u^mdel u).

The dimension of a partially ordered set P=(X,<=) is the size of the smallest realizer of P. Equivalently, it is the smallest integer d such that P is isomorphic to a ...

The contravariant four-vector arising in special and general relativity, x^mu=[x^0; x^1; x^2; x^3]=[ct; x; y; z], (1) where c is the speed of light and t is time. ...

A quantity x>0, which may be written with an explicit plus sign for emphasis, +x.
