A function composed of a set of equally spaced jumps of equal length, such as the ceiling function f(x)=[x], floor function f(x)=|_x_|, or nearest integer function f(x)=[x].

A space which is isomorphic to a Borel subset B of a Polish space equipped with its sigma-algebra of Borel sets.

sum_(k=-infty)^infty(a; m-k)(b; n-k)(a+b+k; k)=(a+n; m)(b+m; n).

Let A and B be two *-algebras. An algebraic homomorphism phi:A->B is called *-homomorphism if it satisfies phi(a^*)=phi(a)^* for each a in A.

A subset X of R^n is star convex if there exists an x_0 in X such that the line segment from x_0 to any point in X is contained in X. A star-shaped figure is star convex but ...

A star polygon-like figure {p/q} for which p and q are not relatively prime. Examples include the hexagram {6/2}, star of Lakshmi {8/2}, and nonagram {9/3}.

A fractal composed of repeated copies of a pentagram or other polygon. The above figure shows a generalization to different offsets from the center.

Starr roses are attractive geometric figures such as those illustrated above.

Let A be a C^*-algebra, then a state is a positive linear functional on A of norm 1.

An expression built up from statements letters by appropriate application of connectives (Mendelson 1997, p. 13).
