The term "transition matrix" is used in a number of different contexts in mathematics. In linear algebra, it is sometimes used to mean a change of coordinates matrix. In the ...

Two points on a surface which are opposite to each other but not farthest from each other (e.g., the midpoints of opposite edges of a cube) are said to be transitive points. ...

Let S(T) be the group of symmetries which map a monohedral tiling T onto itself. The transitivity class of a given tile T is then the collection of all tiles to which T can ...

To translate an object means to perform a translation. A translate of a mathematical object means a shifted (i.e., translated) version of the object. Hence, one can speak of ...

A mathematical relationship transforming a function f(x) to the form f(x+a).

Let L(n,d) be the smallest tour length for n points in a d-D hypercube. Then there exists a smallest constant alpha(d) such that for all optimal tours in the hypercube, lim ...

A 30-sided polygon. The regular triacontagon with side length 1 has inradius r, circumradius R, and area A given by r = 1/4(sqrt(15)+3sqrt(3)+sqrt(2)sqrt(25+11sqrt(5))) (1) R ...

In statistics, a trial is a single performance of well-defined experiment (Papoulis 1984, p. 25), such as the flipping of a coin, the generation of a random number, the ...

The triangle coefficient is function of three variables written Delta(abc)=Delta(a,b,c) and defined by Delta(abc)=((a+b-c)!(a-b+c)!(-a+b+c)!)/((a+b+c+1)!), (Shore and Menzel ...

The condition that j takes on the values j=j_1+j_2,j_1+j_2-1,...,|j_1-j_2|, denoted Delta(j_1j_2j).
