The Bevan point V of a triangle DeltaABC is the circumcenter of the excentral triangle DeltaJ_AJ_BJ_C. It is named in honor of Benjamin Bevan, a relatively unknown Englishman ...

The network flow problem considers a graph G with a set of sources S and sinks T and for which each edge has an assigned capacity (weight), and then asks to find the maximum ...

A subset B of a vector space E is said to be absorbing if for any x in E, there exists a scalar lambda>0 such that x in muB for all mu in F with |mu|>=lambda, where F is the ...

A pattern tau=(tau_1,...,tau_n) is said to avoid alpha=(alpha_1,...,alpha_k) if alpha is not contained in tau. In other words, tau avoids alpha iff no k-subset of tau is ...

In a noncommutative ring R, a left ideal is a subset I which is an additive subgroup of R and such that for all r in R and all a in I, ra in I. A left ideal of R can be ...

A positive matrix is a real or integer matrix (a)_(ij) for which each matrix element is a positive number, i.e., a_(ij)>0 for all i, j. Positive matrices are therefore a ...

The set of all Schwartz functions is called a Schwartz space and is denoted S(R^n). If C_0^infty(R^n) denotes the set of smooth functions of compact support on R^n, then this ...

A subset X of R^n is star convex if there exists an x_0 in X such that the line segment from x_0 to any point in X is contained in X. A star-shaped figure is star convex but ...

A submonoid is a subset of the elements of a monoid that are themselves a monoid under the same monoid operation. For example, consider the monoid formed by the nonnegative ...

The Riemann's moduli space gives the solution to Riemann's moduli problem, which requires an analytic parameterization of the compact Riemann surfaces in a fixed ...
