A.k.a. the pigeonhole principle. Given n boxes and m>n objects, at least one box must contain more than one object. This statement has important applications in number theory ...

Dirichlet's principle, also known as Thomson's principle, states that there exists a function u that minimizes the functional D[u]=int_Omega|del u|^2dV (called the Dirichlet ...

A graph G is said to be disconnected if it is not connected, i.e., if there exist two nodes in G such that no path in G has those nodes as endpoints. The numbers of ...

A topological space that is not connected, i.e., which can be decomposed as the disjoint union of two nonempty open subsets. Equivalently, it can be characterized as a space ...

Let G be an algebraic group. G together with the discrete topology is a locally compact group and one may consider the counting measure as a left invariant Haar measure on G. ...

Let S be a semigroup and alpha a positive real-valued function on S such that alpha(st)<=alpha(s)alpha(t) (s,t in S). If l^1(S,alpha) is the set of all complex-valued ...

A set S is discrete in a larger topological space X if every point x in S has a neighborhood U such that S intersection U={x}. The points of S are then said to be isolated ...

A discriminant is a quantity (usually invariant under certain classes of transformations) which characterizes certain properties of a quantity's roots. The concept of the ...

The disdyakis dodecahedron is the dual polyhedron of the Archimedean great rhombicuboctahedron A_3 and Wenninger dual W_(15). It is also called the hexakis octahedron ...

The disdyakis triacontahedron is the dual polyhedron of the Archimedean great rhombicosidodecahedron A_2. It is also known as the hexakis icosahedron (Holden 1971, p. 55). It ...
