A transformation characterized by an invariant line and a scale factor (one-way stretch) or two invariant lines and corresponding scale factors (two-way stretch).

An inequality is strict if replacing any "less than" and "greater than" signs with equal signs never gives a true expression. For example, a<=b is not strict, whereas a<b is.

A relation < is a strict order on a set S if it is 1. Irreflexive: a<a does not hold for any a in S. 2. Asymmetric: if a<b, then b<a does not hold. 3. Transitive: a<b and b<c ...

A function f(x) is said to be strictly decreasing on an interval I if f(b)<f(a) for all b>a, where a,b in I. On the other hand, if f(b)<=f(a) for all b>a, the function is ...

A function f(x) is said to be strictly increasing on an interval I if f(b)>f(a) for all b>a, where a,b in I. On the other hand, if f(b)>=f(a) for all b>a, the function is ...

A lower triangular matrix having 0s along the diagonal as well as the upper portion, i.e., a matrix A=[a_(ij)] such that a_(ij)=0 for i<=j. Written explicitly, L=[0 0 ... 0; ...

A strictly upper triangular matrix is an upper triangular matrix having 0s along the diagonal as well as the lower portion, i.e., a matrix A=[a_(ij)] such that a_(ij)=0 for ...

A term meaning "spinning top" in Greek which was coined by J. H. Conway by e-mail in the Polyhedron Discussion List as a term for kite-shaped quadrilaterals. Formally, a ...

Strong convergence is the type of convergence usually associated with convergence of a sequence. More formally, a sequence {x_n} of vectors in a normed space (and, in ...

A subspace A of X is called a strong deformation retract of X if there is a homotopy F:X×I->X (called a retract) such that for all x in X, a in A, and t in I, 1. F(x,0)=x, 2. ...
