Given a Lucas sequence with parameters P and Q, discriminant D!=0, and roots a and b, the Sylvester cyclotomic numbers are Q_n=product_(r)(a-zeta^rb), (1) where ...

For every positive integer n, there is a unique finite sequence of distinct nonconsecutive (not necessarily positive) integers k_1, ..., k_m such that ...

An improper use of the symbol sqrt(-1) for the imaginary unit leads to the apparent proof of a false statement. sqrt(-1) = sqrt(-1) (1) sqrt((-1)/1) = sqrt(1/(-1)) (2) ...

A square matrix with constant skew diagonals. In other words, a Hankel matrix is a matrix in which the (i,j)th entry depends only on the sum i+j. Such matrices are sometimes ...

The pentagonal cupola is Johnson solid J_5. Its faces consist of 5 equilateral triangles, 5 squares, 1 pentagon, and one decagon. The surface area and volume of the ...

The dual of a regular tessellation is formed by taking the center of each polygon as a vertex and joining the centers of adjacent polygons. The triangular and hexagonal ...

A Lie algebra is nilpotent when its Lie algebra lower central series g_k vanishes for some k. Any nilpotent Lie algebra is also solvable. The basic example of a nilpotent Lie ...

A polygon that can be dissected into n smaller copies of itself is called a rep-n-tile. The triangular polygonal spiral is also a rep-tile. The above figure shows the zeroth ...

The Goldner-Harary polyhedron is the term given in this work to the polyhedral embedding of the Goldner-Harary graph. This solid is an augmented triangular dipyramid, a ...

A tetradecahedron is a 14-sided polyhedron, sometimes called a tetrakaidecahedron. Examples are illustrated above and summarized in the following table. name family augmented ...
