The ideal quotient (a:b) is an analog of division for ideals in a commutative ring R, (a:b)={x in R:xb subset a}. The ideal quotient is always another ideal. However, this ...

Find the surface enclosing the maximum volume per unit surface area, I=V/S. The solution is a sphere, which has I_(sphere)=(4/3pir^3)/(4pir^2)=1/3r. The fact that a sphere ...

Using Clebsch-Aronhold notation, an algebraic curve satisfies xi_1^na_y^n+xi_1^(n-1)xi_2a_y^(n-1)a_x+1/2n(n-1)xi_1^(n-2)xi_2^2a_y^(n-2)a_x^2+... ...

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 ...

The recurrence relation (n-1)A_(n+1)=(n^2-1)A_n+(n+1)A_(n-1)+4(-1)^n valid for n=4, 5, ... with A(2)=0 and A(3)=1 and which solves the married couples problem (Dörrie 1965, ...

Let a graph G have exactly 2n-3 graph edges, where n is the number of graph vertices in G. Then G is "generically" rigid in R^2 iff e^'<=2n^'-3 for every subgraph of G having ...

A coefficient of the Maclaurin series of 1/(ln(1+x))=1/x+1/2-1/(12)x+1/(24)x^2-(19)/(720)x^3+3/(160)x^4+... (OEIS A002206 and A002207), the multiplicative inverse of the ...

There exist lattices in n dimensions having hypersphere packing densities satisfying eta>=(zeta(n))/(2^(n-1)), where zeta(n) is the Riemann zeta function. However, the proof ...

A bounded plane convex region symmetric about a lattice point and with area >4 must contain at least three lattice points in the interior. In n dimensions, the theorem can be ...

The integral phi(t,u)=int(e^(piitx^2+2piiux))/(e^(2piix)-1)dx which is related to the Jacobi theta functions, mock theta functions, Riemann zeta function, and Siegel theta ...
