A point process N is called self-exciting if cov(N(s,t),N(t,u))>0 for s<t<u where here, cov denotes the covariance of the two quantities. Intuitively, a process is ...

The Shi-Krotov-Solé graph is a weakly regular graph on 1024 vertices with regular parameters (nu,k,lambda,mu)=(1024,33,2,(0,2)). It is distance-regular but not ...

A mechanical device consisting of a sliding portion and a fixed case, each marked with logarithmic axes. By lining up the ticks, it is possible to do multiplication by taking ...

The superellipsoid is a generalization of the ellipsoid by allowing different exponents of the variables in the algebraic representation. It is similarly a generalization of ...

The base-2 transcendental number 0.11011011111011011111..._2 (1) (OEIS A014578), where the nth bit is 1 if n is not divisible by 3 and is the complement of the (n/3)th bit if ...

A topological algebra is a pair (A,tau), where A=(A,(f_i^A)_(i in I)) is an algebra and each of the operations f_i^A is continuous in the product topology. Examples of ...

The torsion of a space curve, sometimes also called the "second curvature" (Kreyszig 1991, p. 47), is the rate of change of the curve's osculating plane. The torsion tau is ...

The twin composites may be defined by analogy with the twin primes as pairs of composite numbers (n,n+2). Since all even number are trivially twin composites, it is natural ...

If 1<=b<a and (a,b)=1 (i.e., a and b are relatively prime), then a^n-b^n has at least one primitive prime factor with the following two possible exceptions: 1. 2^6-1^6. 2. ...
