The arithmetic-geometric mean agm(a,b) of two numbers a and b (often also written AGM(a,b) or M(a,b)) is defined by starting with a_0=a and b_0=b, then iterating a_(n+1) = ...

A vaguely defined branch of mathematics dealing with varieties, the Mordell conjecture, Arakelov theory, and elliptic curves.

A bilinear functional phi on a normed space E is called coercive (or sometimes elliptic) if there exists a positive constant K such that phi(x,x)>=K||x||^2 for all x in E.

A sphere with two handles and two holes, i.e., a genus-2 torus.

The general ellipsoid, also called a triaxial ellipsoid, is a quadratic surface which is given in Cartesian coordinates by (x^2)/(a^2)+(y^2)/(b^2)+(z^2)/(c^2)=1, (1) where ...

A modular form which is not allowed to have poles in the upper half-plane H or at iinfty.

A distribution of error such that the error remaining is always given approximately by the last term dropped.

In elliptic n-space, the pole of an (n-1)-flat is a point located at an arc length of pi/2 radians away from each point of the (n-1)-flat.

A function which satisfies f(tx,ty)=t^nf(x,y) for a fixed n. Means, the Weierstrass elliptic function, and triangle center functions are homogeneous functions. A ...

A partial differential equation of second-order, i.e., one of the form Au_(xx)+2Bu_(xy)+Cu_(yy)+Du_x+Eu_y+F=0, (1) is called hyperbolic if the matrix Z=[A B; B C] (2) ...
