A dihedron is a regular tiling or map on a sphere composed of two regular p-gons, each occupying a hemisphere and with edge lengths of 2pi/p on a unit sphere. Its Schläfli ...

Informally, a situation in which a decision must be made from several alternatives, none of which is obviously the optimal one. In formal logic, a dilemma is a specific type ...

R^n is homeomorphic to R^m iff n=m. This theorem was first proved by Brouwer.

A diminished polyhedron is a polyhedron in which one or more groups of associated faces (such as those comprising the top of a pyramid or cupola in the case of a Johnson ...

An expansion based on the roots of x^(-n)[xJ_n^'(x)+HJ_n(x)]=0, where J_n(x) is a Bessel function of the first kind, is called a Dini expansion.

A test for the convergence of Fourier series. Let phi_x(t)=f(x+t)+f(x-t)-2f(x), then if int_0^pi(|phi_x(t)|dt)/t is finite, the Fourier series converges to f(x) at x.

A notation invented by Dirac which is very useful in quantum mechanics. The notation defines the "ket" vector, denoted |psi>, and its conjugate transpose, called the "bra" ...

If (f,U) and (g,V) are functions elements, then (g,V) is a direct analytic continuation of (f,U) if U intersection V!=emptyset and f and g are equal on U intersection V.

Given the direct sum of additive Abelian groups A direct sum B, A and B are called direct summands. The map i_1:A-->A direct sum B defined by i(a)=a direct sum 0 is called ...

A directed infinity in direction z is an infinite numerical quantity that is a positive real multiple of the complex number z. Directed infinity may be returned in the ...
