A field of extremals is a plane region which is simply connected by a one-parameter family of extremals. The concept was invented by Weierstrass.

A vector specifying how layers are stacked in a laminated lattice.

A property of a space which is also true of each of its subspaces. Being "first-countable" is hereditary, but having a given genus is not.

The largest value of a set, function, etc. The maximum value of a set of elements A={a_i}_(i=1)^N is denoted maxA or max_(i)a_i, and is equal to the last element of a sorted ...

The smallest value of a set, function, etc. The minimum value of a set of elements A={a_i}_(i=1)^N is denoted minA or min_(i)a_i, and is equal to the first element of a ...

An open connected set is called a region (sometimes also called a domain).

In a game proposed by J. H. Conway, a devil chases an angel on an infinite chessboard. At each move, the devil can eliminate one of the squares, and the angel can make a leap ...

The finite zeros of the derivative r^'(z) of a nonconstant rational function r(z) that are not multiple zeros of r(z) are the positions of equilibrium in the field of force ...

Let S_n be the set of permutations of {1, 2, ..., n}, and let sigma_t be the continuous time random walk on S_n that results when randomly chosen transpositions are performed ...

Given any triangle ABC, the signed sum of perpendicular distances from the circumcenter O to the sides (i.e., signed lengths of the pedal lines from O) is OO_A+OO_B+OO_C=R+r, ...
