The direction from an object A to another object B can be specified as a vector v=AB^-> with tail at A and head at B. However, since this vector has length equal to the ...

A plane parallel to two (or more) skew lines, also called a director plane. The orientation of a director is fixed, but it is specified uniquely only if a point lying on it ...

The curve d(u) in the ruled surface parameterization x(u,v)=b(u)+vd(u).

If, in an interval of x, sum_(r=1)^(n)a_r(x) is uniformly bounded with respect to n and x, and {v_r} is a sequence of positive non-increasing quantities tending to zero, then ...

Partial differential equation boundary conditions which give the value of the function on a surface, e.g., T=f(r,t).

Let h be a real-valued harmonic function on a bounded domain Omega, then the Dirichlet energy is defined as int_Omega|del h|^2dx, where del is the gradient.

A piecewise regular function that 1. Has a finite number of finite discontinuities and 2. Has a finite number of extrema can be expanded in a Fourier series which converges ...

A subset A subset= X of a topological space X is said to be disconnected if it is not connected.

Disconnectivities are mathematical entities which stand in the way of a space being contractible (i.e., shrunk to a point, where the shrinking takes place inside the space ...

Given a point set P={x_n}_(n=0)^(N-1) in the s-dimensional unit cube [0,1)^s, the star discrepancy is defined as D_N^*(P)=sup_(J in Upsilon^*)D(J,P), (1) where the local ...
