The interval (generally, the smallest interval) over which the values of a periodic function recur. Functions may have one or more periods over time and in space.

A characteristic of some systems making a transition to chaos. Doubling is followed by quadrupling, etc. An example of a map displaying period doubling is the logistic map.

A square matrix A such that the matrix power A^(k+1)=A for k a positive integer is called a periodic matrix. If k is the least such integer, then the matrix is said to have ...

A sequence {a_i} is said to be periodic with period p with if it satisfies a_i=a_(i+np) for n=1, 2, .... For example, {1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,...} is a periodic sequence ...

A node in a graph for which the graph eccentricity equals the graph diameter (Harary 1994, p. 41).

The knot move obtained by fixing disk 1 in the figure above and flipping disks 2 and 3.

The use of permil (a.k.a. parts per thousand) is a way of expressing ratios in terms of whole numbers. Given a ratio or fraction, it is converted to a permil-age by ...

A^*(x)=sum_(lambda_n<=x)^'a_n=1/(2pii)int_(c-iinfty)^(c+iinfty)f(s)(e^(sx))/sds, where f(s)=suma_ne^(-lambda_ns).

If mu=(mu_1,mu_2,...,mu_n) is an arbitrary set of positive numbers, then all eigenvalues lambda of the n×n matrix a=a_(ij) lie on the disk |z|<=m_mu, where ...

The line joining the three collinear points of intersection of the extensions of corresponding sides in perspective triangles, also called the perspectrix or homology axis.
