A set-theoretic term having a number of different meanings. Fraenkel (1953, p. 37) used the term as a synonym for "finite set." However, according to Russell's definition ...

A semialgebraic set is a subset of R^n which is a finite Boolean combination of sets of the form {x^_=(x_1,...,x_n):f(x^_)>0} and {x^_:g(x^_)=0}, where f and g are ...

A set X is called a "cone" with vertex at the origin if for any x in X and any scalar a>=0, ax in X.

Given a collection of sets, a member set that is not a proper subset of another member set is called a minimal set. Minimal sets are important in graph theory, since many ...

A k-automatic set is a set of integers whose base-k representations form a regular language, i.e., a language accepted by a finite automaton or state machine. If bases a and ...

A subset G subset R of the real numbers is said to be a G_delta set provided G is the countable intersection of open sets. The name G_delta comes from German: The G stands ...

A convex set K is centro-symmetric, sometimes also called centrally symmetric, if it has a center p that bisects every chord of K through p.

The nth Monica set M_n is defined as the set of composite numbers x for which n|[S(x)-S_p(x)], where x = a_0+a_1(10^1)+...+a_d(10^d) (1) = p_1p_2...p_m, (2) and S(x) = ...

One of the most useful tools in nonstandard analysis is the concept of a hyperfinite set. To understand a hyperfinite set, begin with an arbitrary infinite set X whose ...

A maximal independent set is an independent set which is a maximal set, i.e., an independent set that is not a subset of any other independent set. The generic term "maximal ...
