The covariant derivative of the Riemann tensor is given by (1) Permuting nu, kappa, and eta (Weinberg 1972, pp. 146-147) gives the Bianchi identities ...

A tree (also called a bicentral tree) having two nodes that are graph centers. The numbers of bicentered trees on n=1, 2, ... nodes are 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 3, 4, 11, 20, 51, 108 ...

Bicentric perspective is the study of the projection of 3D space from a pair of fiducial points instead of a single one, the latter of which may be called "centric" or ...

Let P be a point with trilinear coordinates alpha:beta:gamma=f(a,b,c):f(b,c,a):f(c,ab) and P^' be a point with trilinear coordinates ...

The bicorn, sometimes also called the "cocked hat curve" (Cundy and Rollett 1989, p. 72), is the name of a collection of quartic curves studied by Sylvester in 1864 and ...

The quartic curve given by the implicit equation (x^2-a^2)(x-a)^2+(y^2-a^2)^2=0, (1) so-named because of its resemblance to a tooth. The bicuspid curve has cusps at (a,-a) ...

A coordinate system which is similar to bispherical coordinates but having fourth-degree surfaces instead of second-degree surfaces for constant mu. The coordinates are given ...

The bifoliate is the quartic curve given by the Cartesian equation x^4+y^4=2axy^2 (1) and the polar equation r=(8costhetasin^2theta)/(3+cos(4theta))a (2) for theta in [0,pi]. ...

The symbol O(x), pronounced "big-O of x," is one of the Landau symbols and is used to symbolically express the asymptotic behavior of a given function. In particular, if n is ...

The bigyrate diminished rhombicosidodecahedron is a convex equilateral solid that is Johnson solid J_(79). The unit bigyrate diminished rhombicosidodecahedron has volume ...
