Also known as "Laplacian" determinant expansion by minors, expansion by minors is a technique for computing the determinant of a given square matrix M. Although efficient for ...

Consider the length of the diagonal of a unit square as approximated by piecewise linear steps that may only be taken in the right and up directions. Obviously, the length so ...

A square matrix A is called diagonally dominant if |A_(ii)|>=sum_(j!=i)|A_(ij)| for all i. A is called strictly diagonally dominant if |A_(ii)|>sum_(j!=i)|A_(ij)| for all i. ...

A polynomial Z_G(q,v) in two variables for abstract graphs. A graph with one graph vertex has Z=q. Adding a graph vertex not attached by any graph edges multiplies the Z by ...

The dihedral group D_4 is one of the two non-Abelian groups of the five groups total of group order 8. It is sometimes called the octic group. An example of D_4 is the ...

Each of the sets forming a direct product is said to be a direct factor. A group G is said to be a direct factor of the group G^' if G^' is isomorphic to the group direct ...

The disdyakis triacontahedron is the dual polyhedron of the Archimedean great rhombicosidodecahedron A_2. It is also known as the hexakis icosahedron (Holden 1971, p. 55). It ...

A (general) dodecahedron is a polyhedron having 12 faces. Examples include the Bilinski dodecahedron, decagonal prism, elongated square dipyramid (Johnson solid J_(15)), ...

A number of attractive 6-compounds of the regular dodecahedron can be constructed. The first (left figures) can be obtained by combining six dodecahedra, each rotated by 1/10 ...

A double integral is a two-fold multiple integral. Examples of definite double integrals evaluating to simple constants include int_0^1int_0^1(dxdy)/(1-x^2y^2) = 1/8pi^2 (1) ...
