Given a geometric sequence {a_1,a_1r,a_1r^2,...}, the number r is called the common ratio associated to the sequence.

A tensor-like coefficient which gives the difference between partial derivatives of two coordinates with respect to the other coordinate, ...

Two elements x and y of a set S are said to be commutative under a binary operation * if they satisfy x*y=y*x. (1) Real numbers are commutative under addition x+y=y+x (2) and ...

A set U has compact closure if its set closure is compact. Typically, compact closure is equivalent to the condition that U is bounded.

If the parameters of a Lie group vary over a closed interval, them the Lie group is said to be compact. Every representation of a compact group is equivalent to a unitary ...

A topological space is compact if every open cover of X has a finite subcover. In other words, if X is the union of a family of open sets, there is a finite subfamily whose ...

A subset of a topological space which is compact with respect to the relative topology.

A function has compact support if it is zero outside of a compact set. Alternatively, one can say that a function has compact support if its support is a compact set. For ...

A compact surface is a surface which is also a compact set. A compact surface has a triangulation with a finite number of triangles. The sphere and torus are compact.

Inside a ball B in R^3, {rectifiable currents S in BL area S<=c, length partialS<=c} is compact under the flat norm.
