The function psi(x)={x(1-(x^2)/(c^2))^2 for |x|<c; 0 for |x|>c (1) sometimes used in robust estimation. It has a minimum at x=-c/sqrt(5) and a maximum at x=c/sqrt(5), where ...

Let a knot K be n-embeddable. Then its tunnel number is a knot invariant which is related to n.

A class of area-preserving maps of the form theta_(i+1) = theta_i+2pialpha(r_i) (1) r_(i+1) = r_i, (2) which maps circles into circles but with a twist resulting from the ...

The term "twisted sphere" is used to mean either a projective plane (Henle 1994, p. 110) or the corkscrew surface obtained by extending a sphere along a diameter and then ...

The collection of twistors in Minkowski space that forms a four-dimensional complex vector space.

Except for triangles, every simple polygon has at least two nonoverlapping ears.

The two-point form of a line in the Cartesian plane passing through the points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is given by y-y_1=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)(x-x_1), or equivalently, ...

An error in a statistical test which occurs when a false hypothesis is accepted (a false positive in terms of the null hypothesis).

An error in a statistical test which occurs when a true hypothesis is rejected (a false negative in terms of the null hypothesis).

f(x)=1-2x^2 for x in [-1,1]. Fixed points occur at x=-1, 1/2, and order 2 fixed points at x=(1+/-sqrt(5))/4. The natural invariant of the map is rho(y)=1/(pisqrt(1-y^2)).
