A linear functional on a real vector space V is a function T:V->R, which satisfies the following properties. 1. T(v+w)=T(v)+T(w), and 2. T(alphav)=alphaT(v). When V is a ...

A member of the smallest algebraically closed subfield L of C which is closed under the exponentiation and logarithm operations.

The second-order ordinary differential equation y^('')+alpha(x)y^'+x^2y^n=0.

The set lambda of linear Möbius transformations w which satisfy w(t)=(at+b)/(ct+d), where a and d are odd and b and c are even. lambda is a subgroup of the modular group ...

A module homomorphism is a map f:M->N between modules over a ring R which preserves both the addition and the multiplication by scalars. In symbols this means that ...

A map which sends open sets to open sets.

The term "polyedge" has been variously proposed to refer to a polystick or a simple connected graph on n edges (Muñiz 2011), the latter of which has also been termed an ...

A proper factor of a positive integer n is a factor of n other than 1 or n (Derbyshire 2004, p. 32). For example, 2 and 3 are positive proper factors of 6, but 1 and 6 are ...

A proper fraction is a fraction p/q with p,q>0 such that p/q<1. A fraction p/q>1 is called an improper fraction.

The term quartoid is sometimes used to refer to a function on the form f(x,y)=((x^2+y^2)^2)/(a^3), i.e., a poweroid with alpha=4 (Jackway and Deriche 1996).
