A generalized eigenvector for an n×n matrix A is a vector v for which (A-lambdaI)^kv=0 for some positive integer k in Z^+. Here, I denotes the n×n identity matrix. The ...

A technique in set theory invented by P. Cohen (1963, 1964, 1966) and used to prove that the axiom of choice and continuum hypothesis are independent of one another in ...

Let O be an incidence geometry, i.e., a set with a symmetric, reflexive binary relation I. Let e and f be elements of O. Let an incidence plane be an incidence geometry whose ...

A ruled surface is called a generalized cone if it can be parameterized by x(u,v)=p+vy(u), where p is a fixed point which can be regarded as the vertex of the cone. A ...

A generalized hexagon is a generalized polygon of order 6. GH(1,2) is more commonly known as the Heawood graph, but is also the (3,6)-cage graph, the cubic vertex-transitive ...

A ruled surface is called a generalized cylinder if it can be parameterized by x(u,v)=vp+y(u), where p is a fixed point. A generalized cylinder is a regular surface wherever ...

The generalized diameter is the greatest distance between any two points on the boundary of a closed figure. The diameter of a subset E of a Euclidean space R^n is therefore ...

A generalized octagon GO(n,k) is a generalized polygon of order 8. GO(1,2) is the (3,8)-cage graph, the incidence graph of the Cremona-Richmond configuration, the cubic ...

A generalized dodecagon is a generalized polygon of order 12. GD(1,2) is the (3,12)-cage graph, more commonly known as the Tutte 12-cage. GD(2,1) is the line graph of the ...

The geodesics on a general cylinder generated by lines parallel to a line l with which the tangent makes a constant angle.
