A function is said to be piecewise constant if it is locally constant in connected regions separated by a possibly infinite number of lower-dimensional boundaries. The ...

A piecewise function is a function that is defined on a sequence of intervals. A common example is the absolute value, |x|={-x for x<0; 0 for x=0; x for x>0. (1) Piecewise ...

A piecewise linear function is a function composed of some number of linear segments defined over an equal number of intervals, usually of equal size. For example, consider ...

A quartic algebraic curve also called the peg-top curve and given by the Cartesian equation a^4y^2=b^2x^3(2a-x) (1) and the parametric curves x = a(1+sint) (2) y = ...

A generalization to a quartic three-dimensional surface is the quartic surface of revolution (x^4-ax^3)+a^2(y^2+z^2)=0, (1) illustrated above. With a=1, this surface is ...

Let f:R×R->R be a one-parameter family of C^3 maps satisfying f(-x,mu)=-f(x,mu) (1) (partialf)/(partialx)|_(mu=0, x=0)=0 (2) (partial^2f)/(partialxpartialmu)|_(mu=0, x=0)>0 ...

If the vertices A, B, and C of triangle DeltaABC lie on sides QR, RP, and PQ of the triangle DeltaPQR, then the three circumcircles CBP, ACQ, and BAR have a common point X. ...

A pivotal isocubic is an isocubic on the lines connecting pairs of isoconjugates that pass through a fixed point P (the pivot point). Pivotal isocubics intersect the ...

A pivotal isotomic cubic is a self-isotomic cubic that possesses a pivot point, i.e., in which points P lying on the conic and their isotomic conjugates are collinear with a ...

There exist polyhedra which can be plaited (braided). Examples include a plaited cube and plaited icosahedron illustrated above (Pargeter 1959, Wells 1991). In the above ...
