The term "ill-defined" is also used informally to mean ambiguous.

Approximations to Khinchin's constant include K = -(ln85181832)/(tan8) (1) = 1/(29)sqrt(6065) (2) = 6-sqrt(ln59055) (3) = 18^(27/79), (4) which are correct to 9, 7, 6, and 5 ...

If R is a ring (commutative with 1), the height of a prime ideal p is defined as the supremum of all n so that there is a chain p_0 subset ...p_(n-1) subset p_n=p where all ...

Lagrange's continued fraction theorem, proved by Lagrange in 1770, states that any positive quadratic surd sqrt(a) has a regular continued fraction which is periodic after ...

The dilogarithm identity Li_2(-x)=-Li_2(x/(1+x))-1/2[ln(1+x)]^2.

Given a point P and a line AB, draw the perpendicular through P and call it PC. Let PD be any other line from P which meets CB in D. In a hyperbolic geometry, as D moves off ...

For a logarithmic spiral with parametric equations x = e^(bt)cost (1) y = e^(bt)sint, (2) the involute is given by x = (e^(bt)sint)/b (3) y = -(e^(bt)cost)/b, (4) which is ...

The winding number W(theta) of a map f(theta) with initial value theta is defined by W(theta)=lim_(n->infty)(f^n(theta)-theta)/n, which represents the average increase in the ...

A measure space is a measurable space possessing a nonnegative measure. Examples of measure spaces include n-dimensional Euclidean space with Lebesgue measure and the unit ...

The metabidiminished icosahedron is a convex equilateral solid that is Johnson solid J_(62). The unit metabidiminished icosahedron has volume V=1/6(5+2sqrt(5)) (1) and Dehn ...
