A very general theorem that allows the number of discrete combinatorial objects of a given type to be enumerated (counted) as a function of their "order." The most common ...

In functional analysis, the Banach-Alaoglu theorem (also sometimes called Alaoglu's theorem) is a result which states that the norm unit ball of the continuous dual X^* of a ...

If J is a simple closed curve in R^2, then the Jordan curve theorem, also called the Jordan-Brouwer theorem (Spanier 1966) states that R^2-J has two components (an "inside" ...

The Banach-Steinhaus theorem is a result in the field of functional analysis which relates the "size" of a certain subset of points defined relative to a family of linear ...

The strongly embedded theorem identifies all simple groups with a strongly 2-embedded subgroup. In particular, it asserts that no simple group has a strongly 2-embedded ...

Given a quadratic form Q(x,y)=x^2+y^2, (1) then Q(x,y)Q(x^',y^')=Q(xx^'-yy^',x^'y+xy^'), (2) since (x^2+y^2)(x^('2)+y^('2)) = (xx^'-yy^')^2+(xy^'+x^'y)^2 (3) = ...

The second, or diamond, group isomorphism theorem, states that if G is a group with A,B subset= G, and A subset= N_G(B), then (A intersection B)⊴A and AB/B=A/A intersection ...

Let rho(x) be an mth degree polynomial which is nonnegative in [-1,1]. Then rho(x) can be represented in the form {[A(x)]^2+(1-x^2)[B(x)]^2 for m even; ...

For N=k·2^n+1 with k odd and 2^n>k, if there exists an integer a such that a^((N-1)/2)=-1 (mod N), then N is prime. A prime of this form is known as a Proth prime.

To color any map on the sphere or the plane requires at most six-colors. This number can easily be reduced to five, and the four-color theorem demonstrates that the necessary ...
