Given five equal disks placed symmetrically about a given center, what is the smallest radius r for which the radius of the circular area covered by the five disks is 1? The ...

If g is a continuous function g(x) in [a,b] for all x in [a,b], then g has a fixed point in [a,b]. This can be proven by supposing that g(a)>=a g(b)<=b (1) g(a)-a>=0 ...

For any sequence of integers 0<n_1<...<n_k, there is a flag manifold of type (n_1, ..., n_k) which is the collection of ordered sets of vector subspaces of R^(n_k) (V_1, ..., ...

A coordinate system similar to toroidal coordinates but with fourth-degree instead of second-degree surfaces for constant mu so that the toroids of circular cross section are ...

A manifold with a Riemannian metric that has zero curvature is a flat manifold. The basic example is Euclidean space with the usual metric ds^2=sum_(i)dx_i^2. In fact, any ...

A module M over a unit ring R is called flat iff the tensor product functor - tensor _RM (or, equivalently, the tensor product functor M tensor _R-) is an exact functor. For ...

The intersection Fl of the Gergonne line and the Soddy line. In the above figure, D^', E^', and F^' are the Nobbs points, I is the incenter, Ge is the Gergonne point, and S ...

Let Q(x) be a real or complex piecewise-continuous function defined for all values of the real variable x and that is periodic with minimum period pi so that Q(x+pi)=Q(x). ...

A point related to the construction and properties of conic sections. Hyperbolas and noncircular ellipses have two distinct foci and two associated conic section directrices, ...

Let f:R×R->R be a one-parameter family of C^2 map satisfying f(0,0)=0 [(partialf)/(partialx)]_(mu=0,x=0)=0 [(partial^2f)/(partialx^2)]_(mu=0,x=0)>0 ...
