A general term which refers to an increase (or decrease in the case of the oxymoron "negative growth") in a given quantity.

A 4-hyperboloid has negative curvature, with R^2=x^2+y^2+z^2-w^2 (1) 2x(dx)/(dw)+2y(dy)/(dw)+2z(dz)/(dw)-2w=0. (2) Since r=xx^^+yy^^+zz^^, (3) it follows that ...

The imaginary number i=sqrt(-1), i.e., the square root of -1. The imaginary unit is denoted and commonly referred to as "i." Although there are two possible square roots of ...

A negative-height (inward-pointing) pyramid used in augmentation. The term was introduced by B. Grünbaum.

Likelihood is the hypothetical probability that an event that has already occurred would yield a specific outcome. The concept differs from that of a probability in that a ...

For all integers n and |x|<a, lambda_n^((t))(x+a)=sum_(k=0)^infty|_n; k]lambda_(n-k)^((t))(a)x^k, where lambda_n^((t)) is the harmonic logarithm and |_n; k] is a Roman ...

A necessary and sufficient condition for all the eigenvalues of a real n×n matrix A to have negative real parts is that the equation A^(T)V+VA=-I has as a solution where V is ...

If all the eigenvalues of a real matrix A have real parts, then to an arbitrary negative definite quadratic form (x,Wx) with x=x(t) there corresponds a positive definite ...

The inverse curve of the Maclaurin trisectrix with inversion center at the negative x-intercept is a Tschirnhausen cubic.

If a compact manifold M has nonnegative Ricci curvature tensor, then its fundamental group has at most polynomial growth. On the other hand, if M has negative curvature, then ...
