The inverse sine is the multivalued function sin^(-1)z (Zwillinger 1995, p. 465), also denoted arcsinz (Abramowitz and Stegun 1972, p. 79; Harris and Stocker 1998, p. 307; ...

There are two related conjectures, each called the twin prime conjecture. The first version states that there are an infinite number of pairs of twin primes (Guy 1994, p. ...

The Harary graph H_(k,n) is a particular example of a k-connected graph with n graph vertices having the smallest possible number of edges. The smallest number of edges ...

The pathwidth of a graph G, also called the interval thickness, vertex separation number, and node searching number, is one less than the size of the largest set in a path ...

A number is said to be biquadratefree (or quarticfree) if its prime factorization contains no quadrupled factors. All primes and prime powers p^n with n<=3 are therefore ...

Direct search factorization is the simplest (and most simple-minded) prime factorization algorithm. It consists of searching for factors of a number by systematically ...

For any alpha in A (where A denotes the set of algebraic numbers), let |alpha|^_ denote the maximum of moduli of all conjugates of alpha. Then a function ...

The Fibonacci Q-matrix is the matrix defined by Q=[F_2 F_1; F_1 F_0]=[1 1; 1 0], (1) where F_n is a Fibonacci number. Then Q^n=[F_(n+1) F_n; F_n F_(n-1)] (2) (Honsberger ...

Successive points dividing a golden rectangle into squares lie on a logarithmic spiral (Wells 1991, p. 39; Livio 2002, p. 119) which is sometimes known as the golden spiral. ...

A positive proper divisor is a positive divisor of a number n, excluding n itself. For example, 1, 2, and 3 are positive proper divisors of 6, but 6 itself is not. The number ...
