A solution of a linear homogeneous ordinary differential equation with polynomial coefficients.

In a chain complex of modules ...->C_(i+1)->^(d_(i+1))C_i->^(d_i)C_(i-1)->... the module Z_i of i-cycles is the kernel of d_i, which is a submodule of C_i.

A term used in category theory to mean a general morphism. The term derives from the Greek omicronmuomicron (omo) "alike" and muomicronrhophiomegasigmaiotasigma (morphosis), ...

Nonconcurrent triangles with parallel sides are always homothetic. Homothetic triangles are always perspective triangles. Their perspector is called their homothetic center.

An n-dimensional manifold M is said to be a homotopy sphere, if it is homotopy equivalent to the n-sphere S^n. Thus no homotopy group can distinguish between M and S^n. The ...

The 6-polyiamonds illustrated above.

The necessary and sufficient condition that an algebraic curve has an algebraic involute is that the arc length is a two-valued algebraic function of the coordinates of the ...

A hyperbolic knot is a knot that has a complement that can be given a metric of constant curvature -1. All hyperbolic knots are prime knots (Hoste et al. 1998). A prime knot ...

A point p on a regular surface M in R^3 is said to be hyperbolic if the Gaussian curvature K(p)<0 or equivalently, the principal curvatures kappa_1 and kappa_2, have opposite ...

A catastrophe which can occur for three control factors and two behavior axes. The hyperbolic umbilic is the universal unfolding of the function germ f(x,y)=x^3+y^3. The ...
