A diagonal of a square matrix which is traversed in the "southeast" direction. "The" diagonal (or "main diagonal," or "principal diagonal," or "leading diagonal") of an n×n ...

A catastrophe which can occur for three control factors and two behavior axes. The elliptical umbilic is catastrophe of codimension 3 that has the equation ...

A distribution of error such that the error remaining is always given approximately by the last term dropped.

A program initiated by F. Klein in an 1872 lecture to describe geometric structures in terms of their automorphism groups.

An exponential generating function for the integer sequence a_0, a_1, ... is a function E(x) such that E(x) = sum_(k=0)^(infty)a_k(x^k)/(k!) (1) = ...

A catastrophe which can occur for one control factor and one behavior axis. It is the universal unfolding of the singularity f(x)=x^3 and has the equation F(x,u)=x^3+ux.

Let F be a field of field characteristic p. Then the Frobenius automorphism on F is the map phi:F->F which maps alpha to alpha^p for each element alpha of F.

The number of nodes in a graph is called its order.

The H-fractal is a fractal constructed by starting with the line segments corresponding to a capital letter H, then iteratively placing smaller H's centered at the top and ...

Consider a one-dimensional Hamiltonian map of the form H(p,q)=1/2p^2+V(q), (1) which satisfies Hamilton's equations q^. = (partialH)/(partialp) (2) p^. = ...
