Given a point lattice, a cluster is a group of filled cells which are all connected to their neighbors vertically or horizontally.

Let A be a unital C^*-algebra, then an element u in A is called co-isometry if uu^*=1.

Each of the maps of a cochain complex ...->C^(i-1)->^(d^(i-1))C^i->^(d^i)C^(i+1)->... is known as a coboundary operator.

Code 177 is a totalistic cellular automaton that yields patterns with seemingly random features. The rules and 300 steps of this automaton are illustrated above.

An idealized coin consists of a circular disk of zero thickness which, when thrown in the air and allowed to fall, will rest with either side face up ("heads" H or "tails" T) ...

Two lines or plane congruent geometric figures which lie on top of each other are said to be coincident.

A method of determining coefficients alpha_l in an expansion y(x)=y_0(x)+sum_(l=1)^qalpha_ly_l(x) so as to nullify the values of an ordinary differential equation L[y(x)]=0 ...

Combinatorial topology is a subset of algebraic topology that uses combinatorial methods. For example, simplicial homology is a combinatorial construction in algebraic ...

The components of the gradient of the one-form dA are denoted A_(,k), or sometimes partial_kA, and are given by A_(,k)=(partialA)/(partialx^k) (Misner et al. 1973, p. 62). ...

A topological space is compact if every open cover of X has a finite subcover. In other words, if X is the union of a family of open sets, there is a finite subfamily whose ...
