An asymptotic direction at a point p of a regular surface M in R^3 is a direction in which the normal curvature of M vanishes. 1. There are no asymptotic directions at an ...

A bilinear functional phi on a normed space E is called coercive (or sometimes elliptic) if there exists a positive constant K such that phi(x,x)>=K||x||^2 for all x in E.

A sphere with two handles and two holes, i.e., a genus-2 torus.

A modular form which is not allowed to have poles in the upper half-plane H or at iinfty.

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

In elliptic n-space, the pole of an (n-1)-flat is a point located at an arc length of pi/2 radians away from each point of the (n-1)-flat.

Gives a lower bound for the inner product (Lu,u), where L is a linear elliptic real differential operator of order m, and u has compact support.

A partial differential equation of second-order, i.e., one of the form Au_(xx)+2Bu_(xy)+Cu_(yy)+Du_x+Eu_y+F=0, (1) is called hyperbolic if the matrix Z=[A B; B C] (2) ...

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 self-adjoint elliptic differential operator defined somewhat technically as Delta=ddelta+deltad, where d is the exterior derivative and d and delta are adjoint to each ...
