The Byzantine generals problem considers a computer with many programs running, some of them possibly unfriendly, and asks how the computer can function properly. More ...

The Cauchy remainder is a different form of the remainder term than the Lagrange remainder. The Cauchy remainder after n terms of the Taylor series for a function f(x) ...

An Cesàro equation is a natural equation which expresses a curve in terms of its arc length function s(t) and radius of curvature rho(t) (or equivalently, the curvature ...

A generalization of Grassmann coordinates to m-D algebraic varieties of degree d in P^n, where P^n is an n-dimensional projective space. To define the Chow coordinates, take ...

Church proved several important theorems that now go by the name Church's theorem. One of Church's theorems states that there is no consistent decidable extension of Peano ...

y=x(dy)/(dx)+f((dy)/(dx)) (1) or y=px+f(p), (2) where f is a function of one variable and p=dy/dx. The general solution is y=cx+f(c). (3) The singular solution envelopes are ...

A topological space X such that for every closed subset C of X and every point x in X\C, there is a continuous function f:X->[0,1] such that f(x)=0 and f(C)={1}. This is the ...

In 1989, P. Yff proved there is a unique configuration of isoscelizers for a given triangle such that all three have the same length and are concurrent (C. Kimberling, pers. ...

A curve whose name means skull-like. It is given by the polar equation r=asint+bsqrt(1-pcos^2t)+csqrt(1-qcos^2t), where a,b,c>0, a<b+c, 0<p<1, 0<q<1, and p!=q. The top of the ...

A dependent variable is a variable whose value depends on the values of one or more other independent variables. This notion comes up regularly in a variety of contexts. In ...
