The index associated to a metric tensor g on a smooth manifold M is a nonnegative integer I for which index(gx)=I for all x in M. Here, the notation index(gx) denotes the ...

The mid-arc triangle is the triangle DeltaA^'B^'C^' whose vertices consist of the intersections of the internal angle bisectors with the incircle, where the points of ...

The midcircle of two given circles is the circle which would invert the circles into each other. Dixon (1991) gives constructions for the midcircle for four of the five ...

Midpoint augmentation, a term introduced here, is a variant of conventional augmentation in which each facial polygon is replaced by a triangular polygon joining vertices ...

The radius rho of the midsphere of a polyhedron, also called the interradius. Let P be a point on the original polyhedron and P^' the corresponding point P on the dual. Then ...

Is it possible to cover completely the surface of a sphere with congruent, nonoverlapping arcs of great circles? Conway and Croft (1964) proved that it can be covered with ...

A map projection given by the following transformation, x = lambda-lambda_0 (1) y = 5/4ln[tan(1/4pi+2/5phi)] (2) = 5/4sinh^(-1)[tan(4/5phi)]. (3) Here, x and y are the plane ...

Several cylindrical equidistant projections were devised by R. Miller. Miller's projections have standard parallels of phi_1=37 degrees30^' (giving minimal overall scale ...

det(i+j+mu; 2i-j)_(i,j=0)^(n-1)=2^(-n)product_(k=0)^(n-1)Delta_(2k)(2mu), where mu is an indeterminate, Delta_0(mu)=2, ...

The Mills ratio is defined as m(x) = 1/(h(x)) (1) = (S(x))/(P(x)) (2) = (1-D(x))/(P(x)), (3) where h(x) is the hazard function, S(x) is the survival function, P(x) is the ...
