The de Longchamps ellipse of a triangle DeltaABC is the conic circumscribed on the incentral triangle and the Cevian triangle of the isogonal mittenpunkt X_(57). (Since a ...

The de Longchamps line is central line L_(32) with trilinear equation a^3alpha+b^3beta+c^3gamma=0 (Droussent 1953; Kimberling 1998, p. 150) which is the anticomplement of the ...

de Rham's function is the function defined by the functional equations phi_alpha(1/2x) = alphaphi_alpha(x) (1) phi_alpha(1/2(x+1)) = alpha+(1-alpha)phi_alpha(x) (2) (Trott ...

The Euler-Mascheroni constant gamma, sometimes also called 'Euler's constant' or 'the Euler constant' (but not to be confused with the constant e=2.718281...) is defined as ...

The Ramsey number R(m,n) gives the solution to the party problem, which asks the minimum number of guests R(m,n) that must be invited so that at least m will know each other ...

An arithmetic progression of primes is a set of primes of the form p_1+kd for fixed p_1 and d and consecutive k, i.e., {p_1,p_1+d,p_1+2d,...}. For example, 199, 409, 619, ...
