The term "homology group" usually means a singular homology group, which is an Abelian group which partially counts the number of holes in a topological space. In particular, ...

The space called L^infty (ell-infinity) generalizes the L-p-spaces to p=infty. No integration is used to define them, and instead, the norm on L^infty is given by the ...

If F is a sigma-algebra and A is a subset of X, then A is called measurable if A is a member of F. X need not have, a priori, a topological structure. Even if it does, there ...

Let x:p(x)->xp(x), then for any operator T, T^'=Tx-xT is called the Pincherle derivative of T. If T is a shift-invariant operator, then its Pincherle derivative is also a ...

D_P(x)=lim_(epsilon->0)(lnmu(B_epsilon(x)))/(lnepsilon), where B_epsilon(x) is an n-dimensional ball of radius epsilon centered at x and mu is the probability measure.

The radian is a unit of angular measure defined such that an angle of one radian subtended from the center of a unit circle produces an arc with arc length 1. A full angle is ...

Rényi entropy is defined as: H_alpha(p_1,p_2,...,p_n)=1/(1-alpha)ln(sum_(i=1)^np_i^alpha), where alpha>0, alpha!=1. As alpha->1, H_alpha(p_1,p_2,...,p_n) converges to ...

A Cantor set C in R^3 is said to be scrawny if for each neighborhood U of an arbitrary point p in C, there is a neighborhood V of p such that every map f:S^1->V subset C ...

A set function is a function whose domain is a collection of sets. In many instances in real analysis, a set function is a function which associates an affinely extended real ...

A function f(x) is said to be square integrable if int_(-infty)^infty|f(x)|^2dx is finite.
