Given a polygon with an even number of sides, the derived polygon is obtained by joining the points which are a fractional distance r along each side. If r=1/2, then the ...

An n×n-matrix A is said to be diagonalizable if it can be written on the form A=PDP^(-1), where D is a diagonal n×n matrix with the eigenvalues of A as its entries and P is a ...

An n-dimensional disk (sometimes spelled "disc") of radius r is the collection of points of distance <=r (closed disk) or <r (open disk) from a fixed point in Euclidean ...

An implicit method for solving an ordinary differential equation that uses f(x_n,y_n) in y_(n+1). In the case of a heat equation, for example, this means that a linear system ...

A fiber of a map f:X->Y is the preimage of an element y in Y. That is, f^(-1)(y)={x in X:f(x)=y}. For instance, let X and Y be the complex numbers C. When f(z)=z^2, every ...

A knot or link L^n in S^(n+2) is said to be fibered if there exists a fibration f:S^(n+2)-L->S^1 and if the fibration is well-behaved near L (Rolfsen 1976, p. 323). Examples ...

A filtration of ideals of a commutative unit ring R is a sequence of ideals ... subset= I_2 subset= I_1 subset= I_0=R, such that I_iI_j subset= I_(i+j) for all indices i,j. ...

The first Morley cubic is the triangle cubic with trilinear equation sum_(cyclic)alpha(beta^2-gamma^2)[cos(1/3A)+2cos(1/3B)cos(1/3C)]. It passes through Kimberling centers ...

For any sequence of integers 0<n_1<...<n_k, there is a flag manifold of type (n_1, ..., n_k) which is the collection of ordered sets of vector subspaces of R^(n_k) (V_1, ..., ...

An (n,k) fountain is an arrangement of n coins in rows such that exactly k coins are in the bottom row and each coin in the (i+1)st row touches exactly two in the ith row. ...
