Let S_N(s)=sum_(n=1)^infty[(n^(1/N))]^(-s), (1) where [x] denotes nearest integer function, i.e., the integer closest to x. For s>3, S_2(s) = 2zeta(s-1) (2) S_3(s) = ...

A nowhere-neat dissection in which squares of the same size are not allowed to share any part of a side.

An extremely powerful theorem in physics which states that each symmetry of a system leads to a physically conserved quantity. Symmetry under translation corresponds to ...

An assemblage of faces forming a polyhedron of zero volume (Holden 1991, p. 124).

A geometry in which Archimedes' axiom does not hold.

The nonagon, also known as an enneagon, is a 9-sided polygon. Although the term "enneagon" is perhaps preferable (since it uses the Greek prefix and suffix instead of the ...

The star figure {9/3} composed of three equilateral triangles rotated at angles 0 degrees, 40 degrees, and 80 degrees. It has been called the star of Goliath by analogy with ...

Let gamma be a path in C, w=f(z), and theta and phi be the tangents to the curves gamma and f(gamma) at z_0 and w_0. If there is an N such that f^((N))(z_0) != 0 (1) ...

A positive value of n for which x-phi(x)=n has no solution, where phi(x) is the totient function. The first few are 10, 26, 34, 50, 52, ... (OEIS A005278).

A function f(x) is said to be nondecreasing on an interval I if f(b)>=f(a) for all b>a, where a,b in I. Conversely, a function f(x) is said to be nonincreasing on an interval ...
