A catastrophe which can occur for three control factors and one behavior axis. The swallowtail catastrophe is the universal unfolding of singularity f(x)=x^5 with codimension ...

The general function y(a,b,c,d)=csin{pi/(b-a)[((b-a)x/d+a)^2-a^2]}.

Diagonalize a form over the rationals to diag[p^a·A,p^b·B,...], where all the entries are integers and A, B, ... are relatively prime to p. Then Sylvester's signature is the ...

Two points z and z^S in C^* are symmetric with respect to a circle or straight line L if all circles and straight lines passing through z and z^S are orthogonal to L. Möbius ...

The second-order ordinary differential equation y^('')-[(M^2-1/4+K^2-2MKcosx)/(sin^2x)+(sigma+K^2+1/4)]y=0.

A map T:(M_1,omega_1)->(M_2,omega_2) between the symplectic manifolds (M_1,omega_1) and (M_2,omega_2) which is a diffeomorphism and T^*(omega_2)=omega_1, where T^* is the ...

A symplectic form on a smooth manifold M is a smooth closed 2-form omega on M which is nondegenerate such that at every point m, the alternating bilinear form omega_m on the ...

A surface on which the Gaussian curvature K is everywhere positive. When K is everywhere negative, a surface is called anticlastic. A point at which the Gaussian curvature is ...

Two curves both containing the point P are tangent at P if they share the same tangent line at P.

A ruled surface M is a tangent developable of a curve y if M can be parameterized by x(u,v)=y(u)+vy^'(u). A tangent developable is a developable surface.
