An asymmetrical apodization function defined by M(x,b,d)={0 for x<-b; (x-b)/(2b) for -b<x<b; 1 for b<x<b+2d; 0 for x<b+2d, (1) where the two-sided portion is 2b long (total) ...

When a closed interval [a,b] is partitioned by points a<x_1<x_2<...<x_(n-1)<b, the lengths of the resulting intervals between the points are denoted Deltax_1, Deltax_2, ..., ...

A group G such that the quotient group G/Z(G), where Z(G) is the group center of G, is Abelian. An equivalent condition is that the commutator subgroup G^' is contained in ...

Metamathematics is another word for proof theory. The branch of logic dealing with the study of the combination and application of mathematical symbols is also sometimes ...

A graph with minimum vertex degree at least 5 is a line graph iff it does not contain any of the above six graphs, known in this work as Metelsky graphs, as an induced ...

A particular way of doing something, sometimes also called an algorithm or procedure. (According to Petkovšek et al. (1996), "a method is a trick that has worked at least ...

A method used by Gauss to solve the quadratic Diophantine equation of the form mx^2+ny^2=A (Dickson 2005, pp. 391 and 407).

The method of exhaustion was an integral-like limiting process used by Archimedes to compute the area and volume of two-dimensional lamina and three-dimensional solids.

Also known as Kolmogorov entropy, Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy, or KS entropy. The metric entropy is 0 for nonchaotic motion and >0 for chaotic motion.

The minimum excluded value. The mex of a set S of nonnegative integers is the least nonnegative integer not in the set.
