A set having exactly one element a. A singleton set is denoted by {a} and is the simplest example of a nonempty set.

An even number of the form 4n+2 (i.e., an integer which is divisible by 2 but not by 4). The first few for n=0, 1, 2, ... are 2, 6, 10, 14, 18, ... (OEIS A016825)

A function possessing a single period in the complex plane is said to be singly periodic, of often simply periodic. Singly periodic functions include the trigonometric ...

A smooth map f:S^1->R^3 whose image has singularities. In particular, in the theory of Vassiliev's knot invariants, singular knots with a finite number of ordinary double ...

The singular support of a generalized function u is the complement of the largest open set on which u is smooth. Roughly speaking, it is the closed set where the distribution ...

A system is singular if its condition number is infinite and ill-conditioned if it is too large.

The partial differential equation u_(xt)=sinhu, which contains u_(xt) instead of u_(xx)-u_(tt) and sinhu instead to sinu, as in the sine-Gordon equation (Grauel 1985; ...

The partial differential equation del ^2u+lambda^2sinhu=0, where del ^2 is the Laplacian (Ting et al. 1987; Zwillinger 1997, p. 135).

A curve similar to the sine function but possibly shifted in phase, period, amplitude, or any combination thereof. The general sinusoid of amplitude a, angular frequency ...

The sinusoidal projection is an equal-area projection given by the transformation x = (lambda-lambda_0)cosphi (1) y = phi. (2) The inverse formulas are phi = y (3) lambda = ...
