Householder (1953) first considered the matrix that now bears his name in the first couple of pages of his book. A Householder matrix for a real vector v can be implemented ...

A root-finding algorithm based on the iteration formula x_(n+1)=x_n-(f(x_n))/(f^'(x_n)){1+(f(x_n)f^('')(x_n))/(2[f^'(x_n)]^2)}. This method, like Newton's method, has poor ...

Let P be a primitive polytope with eight vertices. Then there is a unimodular map that maps P to the polyhedron whose vertices are (0, 0, 0), (1, 0, 0), (0, 1, 0), (0, 0, 1), ...

An axiom proposed by Huntington (1933) as part of his definition of a Boolean algebra, H(x,y)=!(!x v y) v !(!x v !y)=x, (1) where !x denotes NOT and x v y denotes OR. Taken ...

Let {f_n(x)} be a sequence of analytic functions regular in a region G, and let this sequence be uniformly convergent in every closed subset of G. If the analytic function ...

For a rectangular hyperbola x = asect (1) y = atant (2) with inversion center at the origin, the inverse curve is x_i = (2kcost)/(a[3-cos(2t)]) (3) y_i = ...

The pedal curve of a rectangular hyperbola with the pedal point at the focus is a circle (left figure; Hilbert and Cohn-Vossen 1999, p. 26). The pedal curve of a rectangular ...

The hyperbolic cylinder is a quadratic surface given by the equation (x^2)/(a^2)-(y^2)/(b^2)=-1. (1) It is a ruled surface. It can be given parametrically by x = asinhu (2) y ...

A hyperbolic version of the Euclidean dodecahedron. Hyperbolic three-space can be tessellated with hyperbolic dodecahedra whose intermediate dihedral angles are 60, 72, or 90 ...

A hyperbolic fixed point of a differential equation is a fixed point for which the stability matrix has eigenvalues lambda_1<0<lambda_2, also called a saddle point. A ...
