In functional analysis, the term "Poincaré-Friedrichs inequality" is a term used to describe inequalities which are qualitatively similar to the classical Poincaré Inequality ...

A plane figure or solid compound consisting of multiple connected copies of a given base shape. For example, affixing n equal squares gives an n-polyomino, while affixing n ...

The diagonal of a polyhedron is any line segment connecting two nonadjacent vertices of the polyhedron. Any polyhedron having no diagonals must have a skeleton which is a ...

A packing of polyhedron in three-dimensional space. A polyhedron which can pack with no holes or gaps is said to be a space-filling polyhedron. Betke and Henk (2000) present ...

Let a circle C_1 lie inside another circle C_2. From any point on C_2, draw a tangent to C_1 and extend it to C_2. From the point, draw another tangent, etc. For n tangents, ...

Pong Hau K'i is an ancient Chinese tic-tac-toe-like game involving two players with two differently colored stones (say, red and blue). The players move their respective ...

Let f:A->B be a map between sets A and B. Let Y subset= B. Then the preimage of Y under f is denoted by f^(-1)(Y), and is the set of all elements of A that map to elements in ...

A Banach space X is called prime if each infinite-dimensional complemented subspace of X is isomorphic to X (Lindenstrauss and Tzafriri 1977). Pełczyński (1960) proved that ...

The principal value of an analytic multivalued function is the single value chosen by convention to be returned for a given argument. Complex multivalued functions have ...

Almost all processes that are not obviously simple can be viewed as computations of equivalent sophistication (Wolfram 2002, pp. 5 and 716-717). More specifically, the ...
