A property that passes from a topological space to all its quotient spaces. This is true for connectedness, local connectedness and separability, but not for any of the ...

A binary relation associated with an instance of the stable marriage problem. Stable marriages correspond to vertices with outdegree 0 in the divorce digraph (Skiena 1990, p. ...

sum_(k=-n)^n(-1)^k(n+b; n+k)(n+c; c+k)(b+c; b+k)=(Gamma(b+c+n+1))/(n!Gamma(b+1)Gamma(c+1)), where (n; k) is a binomial coefficient and Gamma(x) is a gamma function.

The Dottie number is the name given by Kaplan (2007) to the unique real root of cosx=x (namely, the unique real fixed point of the cosine function), which is 0.739085... ...

A set of points which do not lie on any of a certain class of hyperplanes.

Given a contravariant basis {e^->_1,...,e^->_n}, its dual covariant basis is given by e^->^alpha·e^->_beta=g(e^->^alpha,e^->_beta)=delta_beta^alpha, where g is the metric and ...

If X is a normed linear space, then the set of continuous linear functionals on X is called the dual (or conjugate) space of X. When equipped with the norm ...

A term in social choice theory meaning each alternative receives equal weight for a single vote.

Let the values of a function f(x) be tabulated at points x_i equally spaced by h=x_(i+1)-x_i, so f_1=f(x_1), f_2=f(x_2), ..., f_n=f(x_n). Then Durand's rule approximating the ...

Handles and cross-handles are equivalent in the presence of a cross-cap.
