A heptagon is a seven-sided polygon. It is also sometimes called a septagon, though this usage mixes a Latin prefix sept- (derived from septua-, meaning "seven") with the ...

For real, nonnegative terms x_n and real p with 0<p<1, the expression lim_(k->infty)x_0+(x_1+(x_2+(...+(x_k)^p)^p)^p)^p converges iff (x_n)^(p^n) is bounded.

If intersecting stable and unstable manifolds (separatrices) emanate from fixed points of different families, they are called heteroclinic points.

If R is a Noetherian ring, then S=R[X] is also a Noetherian ring.

A knot that secures a rope to a post, ring, another rope, etc., but does not keep its shape by itself.

A linear transformation A:R^n->R^n is hyperbolic if none of its eigenvalues has modulus 1. This means that R^n can be written as a direct sum of two A-invariant subspaces E^s ...

The metric ds^2=(dx^2+dy^2)/((1-x^2-y^2)^2) for the Poincaré hyperbolic disk, which is a model for hyperbolic geometry. The hyperbolic metric is invariant under conformal ...

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 ...

The hypocycloid x = a/(a-2b)[(a-b)cosphi-bcos((a-b)/bphi)] (1) y = a/(a-2b)[(a-b)sinphi+bsin((a-b)/bphi)] (2) has involute x = (a-2b)/a[(a-b)cosphi+bcos((a-b)/bphi)] (3) y = ...

When f:A->B is a ring homomorphism and b is an ideal in B, then f^(-1)(b) is an ideal in A, called the contraction of b and sometimes denoted b^c. The contraction of a prime ...
