The phrase "convergence in mean" is used in several branches of mathematics to refer to a number of different types of sequential convergence. In functional analysis, ...

A notation for polyhedra which begins by specifying a "seed" polyhedron using a capital letter. The Platonic solids are denoted T (tetrahedron), O (octahedron), C (cube), I ...

A covering map (also called a covering or projection) is a surjective open map f:X->Y that is locally a homeomorphism, meaning that each point in X has a neighborhood that is ...

There are a number of attractive cube 20-compounds that can be constructed by taking the duals of the octahedra in the two octahedron 20-compounds. The second of these was ...

There are a number of attractive cube 25-compounds. One can be constructed from the vertices of the second dodecahedron 6-compound (or second tetrahedron 50-compound) and ...

Does there exist an algorithm for deciding whether or not a specific mathematical assertion does or does not have a proof? The decision problem is also known as the ...

Given a polygon with an even number of sides, the derived polygon is obtained by joining the points which are a fractional distance r along each side. If r=1/2, then the ...

Consider the length of the diagonal of a unit square as approximated by piecewise linear steps that may only be taken in the right and up directions. Obviously, the length so ...

A number of attractive 6-compounds of the regular dodecahedron can be constructed. The first (left figures) can be obtained by combining six dodecahedra, each rotated by 1/10 ...

A point traced out twice as a closed curve is traversed. The maximum number of double points for a nondegenerate quartic curve is three. An ordinary double point is also ...
