A Chu space is a binary relation from a set A to an antiset X which is defined as a set which transforms via converse functions.

A set in R^d is concave if it does not contain all the line segments connecting any pair of its points. If the set does contain all the line segments, it is called convex.

In a topological space X, an open neighborhood of a point x is an open set containing x. A set containing an open neighborhood is simply called a neighborhood.

The pseudo-tangent cone P_S(x) of a subset S subset R^n at a point x in S is the set P_S(x)=convK_S^_, where K_S is the contingent cone of S and where conv(A) is the smallest ...

A set containing all elements of a smaller set. If B is a subset of A, then A is a superset of B, written A superset= B. If A is a proper superset of B, this is written A ...

The total domination number gamma_t of a graph is the size of a smallest total dominating set, where a total dominating set is a set of vertices of the graph such that all ...

An existential sentence is a statement claiming the existence of an object with given properties. In the language of set theory it can be formulated as follows, exists x in U ...

The Schröder-Bernstein theorem for numbers states that if n<=m<=n, then m=n. For sets, the theorem states that if there are injections of the set A into the set B and of B ...

A proper subset S^' of a set S, denoted S^' subset S, is a subset that is strictly contained in S and so necessarily excludes at least one member of S. The empty set is ...

Smale's problems are a list of 18 challenging problems for the twenty-first century proposed by Field medalist Steven Smale. These problems were inspired in part by Hilbert's ...
