The function f(x)=1-2|x|^(1/2) for x in [-1,1]. The natural invariant is rho(y)=1/2(1-y).

The slicing of a three-dimensional object by a plane (or more general slice).

A permutation which shifts all elements of a set by a fixed offset, with the elements shifted off the end inserted back at the beginning. For a set with elements a_0, a_1, ...

The n-cyclohedron, also known as the Bott-Taubes polytope, is defined as the compactification of the configuration space of n points on the circle. The cyclohedron can be ...

The catacaustic of one arch of a cycloid given parametrically as x = t-sint (1) y = 1-cost (2) is a complicated expression for an arbitrary radiant point. For the case of the ...

The evolute of the cycloid x(t) = a(t-sint) (1) y(t) = a(1-cost) (2) is given by x(t) = a(t+sint) (3) y(t) = a(cost-1). (4) As can be seen in the above figure, the evolute is ...

The involute of the cycloid x = a(t-sint) (1) y = a(1-cost) (2) is given by x_i = a(t+sint) (3) y_i = a(3+cost). (4) As can be seen in the above figure, the involute is ...

The radial curve of the cycloid with parametric equations x = a(t-sint) (1) y = a(1-cost) (2) is the circle x_r = x_0+2asint (3) y_r = -2a+y_0+2acost. (4)

Let p be an odd prime and F_n the cyclotomic field of p^(n+1)th roots of unity over the rational field. Now let p^(e(n)) be the power of p which divides the class number h_n ...

A cylinder can be dissected into unequal squares, with nine squares required at a minimum. Trivial squarings can be constructed by taking rectangle dissections and matching ...
