The unit of information obtained by using the natural logarithm lnx instead of the base-2 logarithm log_2x=lgx when defining entropy and related information theoretic ...

A natural transformation Phi={Phi_C:F(C)->D(C)} between functors F,G:C->D of categories C and D is said to be a natural isomorphism if each of the components is an ...

The natural logarithm lnx is the logarithm having base e, where e=2.718281828.... (1) This function can be defined lnx=int_1^x(dt)/t (2) for x>0. This definition means that e ...

The natural parametric equations of a curve are parametric equations that represent the curve in terms of a coordinate-independent parameter, generally arc length s, instead ...

The British word for "zero." It is often used to indicate 0 subscripts, so a_0 would be spoken as "a naught."

An arrangement of n>=3 points such that n-1 of them are collinear.

A near-perfect matching is a matching in which a single vertex is left unmatched. Just as perfect matchings can occur only for graphs with an even number of vertices, ...

Every irrational number x can be expanded in a unique continued fraction expansion x=b_0+(e_1)/(b_1+(e_2)/(b_2+(e_3)/(b_3+...)))=[b_0;e_1b_1,e_2b_2,e_3b_3,...] such that b_0 ...

A condition which must hold for a result to be true, but which does not guarantee it to be true. If a condition is both necessary and sufficient, then the result is said to ...

The operation of interchanging true and false in a logical statement. The negation of A is often called "NOT-A," and can be denoted !A, or with the negation sign ¬, so not-A ...
