A dissection of a rectangle into smaller rectangles such that the original rectangle is not divided into two subrectangles. Rectangle dissections into 3, 4, or 6 pieces ...

An imperfect graph G is a graph that is not perfect. Therefore, graphs G with omega(G)<chi(G) (1) where omega(G) is the clique number and chi(G) is the chromatic number are ...

Legendre's constant is the number 1.08366 in Legendre's guess at the prime number theorem pi(n)=n/(lnn-A(n)) with lim_(n->infty)A(n) approx 1.08366. Legendre first published ...

Minkowski's conjecture states that every lattice tiling of R^n by unit hypercubes contains two hypercubes that meet in an (n-1)-dimensional face. Minkowski first considered ...

For n a positive integer, expressions of the form sin(nx), cos(nx), and tan(nx) can be expressed in terms of sinx and cosx only using the Euler formula and binomial theorem. ...

Odd values of Q(n) are 1, 1, 3, 5, 27, 89, 165, 585, ... (OEIS A051044), and occur with ever decreasing frequency as n becomes large (unlike P(n), for which the fraction of ...

The low-level language of topology, which is not really considered a separate "branch" of topology. Point-set topology, also called set-theoretic topology or general ...

Self-recursion is a recursion that is defined in terms of itself, resulting in an ill-defined infinite regress. The formula for the volume of a cylinder leads to the ...

Vizing's theorem states that a graph can be edge-colored in either Delta or Delta+1 colors, where Delta is the maximum vertex degree of the graph. A graph with edge chromatic ...

The 8.1.2 equation A^8+B^8=C^8 (1) is a special case of Fermat's last theorem with n=8, and so has no solution. No 8.1.3, 8.1.4, 8.1.5, 8.1.6, or 8.1.7 solutions are known. ...
