The Burridge-Knopoff model is a system of differential equations used to model earthquakes using n points on a straight line, each of mass m, that interact with each other ...

A point related to the construction and properties of conic sections. Hyperbolas and noncircular ellipses have two distinct foci and two associated conic section directrices, ...

Functional analysis is a branch of mathematics concerned with infinite-dimensional vector spaces (mainly function spaces) and mappings between them. The spaces may be of ...

Radial line segments whose inward-pointing end produce the illusion of a circle or other figure. The apparent figure has the same color as the background, but appears ...

A maltitude ("midpoint altitude") is a perpendicular drawn to a side of a quadrilateral from the midpoint M_i of the opposite side. If the quadrilateral is cyclic, then the ...

Let f(z) be an analytic function of z, regular in the half-strip S defined by a<x<b and y>0. If f(z) is bounded in S and tends to a limit l as y->infty for a certain fixed ...

A parallelogram polyomino is a polyomino such that the intersection with every line perpendicular to the main diagonal is a connected segment. The number of parallelogram ...

A method for fitting a curve (not necessarily a straight line) through a set of points using some goodness-of-fit criterion. The most common type of regression is linear ...

The "temperature" of a curve Gamma is defined as T=1/(ln((2l)/(2l-h))), where l is the length of Gamma and h is the length of the perimeter of the convex hull. The ...

The rank of a vector bundle is the dimension of its fiber. Equivalently, it is the maximum number of linearly independent local bundle sections in a trivialization. ...
