A dynamical system in which the phase space volume contracts along a trajectory. This means that the generalized divergence is less than zero, (partialf_i)/(partialx_i)<0, ...

An object that is not superimposable on its mirror image is said to be dissymmetric. All asymmetric objects are dissymmetric, and an object with no improper rotation ...

The distribution parameter of a noncylindrical ruled surface parameterized by x(u,v)=sigma(u)+vdelta(u), (1) where sigma is the striction curve and delta the director curve, ...

A multiplication * is said to be right distributive if (x+y)z=xz+yz for every x, y, and z. Similarly, it is said to be left distributive if z(x+y)=zx+zy for every x, y, and ...

A lattice which satisfies the identities (x ^ y) v (x ^ z)=x ^ (y v z) (x v y) ^ (x v z)=x v (y ^ z) is said to be distributive.

A divergenceless vector field, also called a solenoidal field, is a vector field for which del ·F=0. Therefore, there exists a G such that F=del xG. Furthermore, F can be ...

A quantity that is divided by another quantity.

If, for n and d integers, the ratio n/d is itself an integer, then d is said to divide n. This relationship is written d|n, read "d divides n." In this case, n is also said ...

A generalization by Kronecker of Kummer's theory of prime ideal factors. A divisor on a full subcategory C of mod(A) is an additive mapping chi on C with values in a ...

sum_(k=-n)^n(-1)^k(n+b; n+k)(n+c; c+k)(b+c; b+k)=(Gamma(b+c+n+1))/(n!Gamma(b+1)Gamma(c+1)), where (n; k) is a binomial coefficient and Gamma(x) is a gamma function.
