Let A denote an R-algebra, so that A is a vector space over R and A×A->A (1) (x,y)|->x·y. (2) Then A is said to be alternative if, for all x,y in A, (x·y)·y=x·(y·y) (3) ...

In general, an arrangement of objects is simply a grouping of them. The number of "arrangements" of n items is given either by a combination (order is ignored) or permutation ...

A subset B of a vector space E is said to be balanced if lambdaB subset= B whenever lambda is a scalar satisfying |lambda|<=1. Here, the notation lambdaB denotes the set ...

Chain equivalences give an equivalence relation on the space of chain homomorphisms. Two chain complexes are chain equivalent if there are chain maps phi:C_*->D_* and ...

An n-dimensional closed disk of radius r is the collection of points of distance <=r from a fixed point in n-dimensional Euclidean space. Krantz (1999, p. 3) uses the symbol ...

Let gamma(t) be a smooth curve in a manifold M from x to y with gamma(0)=x and gamma(1)=y. Then gamma^'(t) in T_(gamma(t)), where T_x is the tangent space of M at x. The ...

If L^~ is a linear operator on a function space, then f is an eigenfunction for L^~ and lambda is the associated eigenvalue whenever L^~f=lambdaf. Renteln and Dundes (2005) ...

A metric topology induced by the Euclidean metric. In the Euclidean topology of the n-dimensional space R^n, the open sets are the unions of n-balls. On the real line this ...

Consider a finite collection of points p=(p_1,...,p_n), p_i in R^d Euclidean space (known as a configuration) and a graph G whose graph vertices correspond to pairs of points ...

An algebraic ring which appears in treatments of duality in algebraic geometry. Let A be a local Artinian ring with m subset A its maximal ideal. Then A is a Gorenstein ring ...
