A relational system is a structure R=(S,{P_i:i in I},{f_j:j in J}) consisting of a set S, a collection of relations P_i(i in I) on S, and a collection of functions f_j(j in ...

Let u^_ denote the mean of a set of quantities u_i, then the relative deviation is defined by (Deltau_i)/(u^_)=(|u_i-u^_|)/(u^_).

Rényi's polynomial is the polynomial (Rényi 1947, Coppersmith and Davenport 1991) that has 29 terms and whose square has 28, making it a sparse polynomial square.

A method for predicting the onset of widespread chaos.

The method for solving the Goursat problem and Cauchy problem for linear hyperbolic partial differential equations using a Riemann function.

A circular cone the centers of whose sections form a line perpendicular to the bases. When used without qualification, the term "cone" often refers to a right circular cone.

A proof or demonstration is said to be rigorous if the validity of each step and the connections between the steps is explicitly made clear in such a way that the result ...

The direct product of the rings R_gamma, for gamma some index set I, is the set product_(gamma in I)R_gamma={f:I-> union _(gamma in I)R_gamma|f(gamma) in R_gamma all gamma in ...

An estimation technique which is insensitive to small departures from the idealized assumptions which have been used to optimize the algorithm. Classes of such techniques ...

The Schwarzian derivative is defined by D_(Schwarzian)=(f^(''')(x))/(f^'(x))-3/2[(f^('')(x))/(f^'(x))]^2. The Feigenbaum constant is universal for one-dimensional maps if its ...
