The configuration formed by two curves starting at a point, called the vertex V, in a common direction. Horn angles are concrete illustrations of non-Archimedean geometries.

A weak pseudo-Riemannian metric on a smooth manifold M is a (0,2) tensor field g which is symmetric and for which, at each m in M, g_m(v_m,w_m)=0 for all w_m in T_mM implies ...

A set A of integers is said to be one-one reducible to a set B (A<<_1B) if there is a one-one recursive function f such that for every x, x in A=>f(x) in B (1) and f(x) in ...

The collapsoids are a class of non-convex collapsible polyhedra. They can be constructed by replacing each edge of a dodecahedron or icosahedron by the diagonal of a pyramid ...

If, in an interval of x, sum_(r=1)^(n)a_r(x) is uniformly bounded with respect to n and x, and {v_r} is a sequence of positive non-increasing quantities tending to zero, then ...

The Banach space L^1([0,1]) with the product (fg)(x)=int_0^xf(x-y)g(y)dy is a non-unital commutative Banach algebra. This algebra is called the Volterra algebra.

One of the seven 4-polyhexes. S. Kim has observed that four worms solve the puzzle of finding a non-three-colorable map with only four congruent countries (as long as no ...

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

A group or other algebraic object is said to be Abelian (sometimes written in lower case, i.e., "abelian") if the law of commutativity always holds. The term is named after ...

A number is said to be simply normal to base b if its base-b expansion has each digit appearing with average frequency tending to b^(-1). A normal number is an irrational ...
