A term used in category theory to mean a general morphism. The term derives from the Greek omicronmuomicron (omo) "alike" and muomicronrhophiomegasigmaiotasigma (morphosis), ...

An induced subgraph is a subgraph obtained from an original graph by removing a subset of vertices and/or edges together with any edges whose endpoints are both in this ...

The local clustering coefficient of a vertex v_i of a graph G is the fraction of pairs of neighbors of v_i that are connected over all pairs of neighbors of v_i. Computation ...

The power A^n of a matrix A for n a nonnegative integer is defined as the matrix product of n copies of A, A^n=A...A_()_(n). A matrix to the zeroth power is defined to be the ...

A multivariate is a vector each of whose elements is a variate. The variates need not be independent, and if they are not, a correlation is said to exist between them. The ...

Consider the average volume of a tetrahedron picked at random inside an octahedron of unit volume. The answer is difficult to compute analytically (Zinani 2003), but the mean ...

One petabyte is 10^(15) bytes. Unfortunately, the term is sometimes also used to mean 2^(50)=1024^5 bytes. However, the latter usage is deprecated, and the term pebibyte is ...

A relation is any subset of a Cartesian product. For instance, a subset of A×B, called a "binary relation from A to B," is a collection of ordered pairs (a,b) with first ...
