Cahen's constant is defined as C = sum_(k=0)^(infty)((-1)^k)/(a_k-1) (1) = 0.64341054628... (2) (OEIS A118227), where a_k is the kth term of Sylvester's sequence.

A figurate number of the form, CCub_n=n^3+(n-1)^3=(2n-1)(n^2-n+1). The first few are 1, 9, 35, 91, 189, 341, ... (OEIS A005898). The generating function for the centered cube ...

A coaxal system is a system of coaxal circles. A spectacular example is the set of circles (circumcircle, nine-point circle, orthocentroidal circle, orthoptic circle of the ...

Given a geometric sequence {a_1,a_1r,a_1r^2,...}, the number r is called the common ratio associated to the sequence.

A subset A of a vector space V is said to be convex if lambdax+(1-lambda)y for all vectors x,y in A, and all scalars lambda in [0,1]. Via induction, this can be seen to be ...

If a, b, c, and d are points in the extended complex plane C^*, their cross ratio, also called the cross-ratio (Courant and Robbins 1996, p. 172; Durell 1928, p. 73), ...

The largest cube dividing a positive integer n. For n=1, 2, ..., the first few are 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 8, 1, 1, ... (OEIS A008834).

A natural number n>3 such that n|(a^(n-2)-a) whenever (a,n)=1 (a and n are relatively prime) and a<=n. (Here, n|m means that n divides m.) There are an infinite number of ...

A figurate number of the form 4n^2-3n. The first few are 1, 10, 27, 52, 85, ... (OEIS A001107). The generating function giving the decagonal numbers is ...

An even number N for which N=0 (mod 4). The first few positive doubly even numbers are 4, 8, 12, 16, ... (OEIS A008586).
