A prime which does not divide the class number h(p) of the cyclotomic field obtained by adjoining a primitive pth root of unity to the field of rationals. A prime p is ...

The (complete) gamma function Gamma(n) is defined to be an extension of the factorial to complex and real number arguments. It is related to the factorial by Gamma(n)=(n-1)!, ...

A class of knots containing the class of alternating knots. Let c(K) be the link crossing number. Then for knot sum K_1#K_2 which is an adequate knot, ...

A clique covering of a graph G is set of cliques such that every vertex of G is a member of at least one clique. A minimum clique covering is a clique covering of minimum ...

A formula for the generalized Catalan number _pd_(qi). The general formula is (n-q; k-1)=sum_(i=1)^k_pd_(qi)(n-pi; k-i), where (n; k) is a binomial coefficient, although ...

A minimum dominating set is a dominating set of smallest size in a given graph. The size of a minimum dominating set is known as the domination number of the graph. A minimum ...

If f(x) is a nonconstant integer polynomial and c is an integer such that f(c) is divisible by the prime p, that p is called a prime divisor of the polynomial f(x) (Nagell ...

If {a_0,a_1,...} is a recursive sequence, then the set of all k such that a_k=0 is the union of a finite (possibly empty) set and a finite number (possibly zero) of full ...

Separation of variables is a method of solving ordinary and partial differential equations. For an ordinary differential equation (dy)/(dx)=g(x)f(y), (1) where f(y)is nonzero ...

The second Mersenne prime M_3=2^3-1, which is itself the exponent of Mersenne prime M_7=2^7-1=127. It gives rise to the perfect number P_7=M_7·2^6=8128. It is a Gaussian ...
