A Müntz space is a technically defined space M(Lambda)=span{x^(lambda_0),x^(lambda_1),...} which arises in the study of function approximations.

A multiple of a number x is any quantity y=nx with n an integer. If x and y are integers, then x is called a factor of y. The smallest positive number m for which there exist ...

The geometry of the Lie group consisting of real matrices of the form [1 x y; 0 1 z; 0 0 1], i.e., the Heisenberg group.

Let N be a nilpotent, connected, simply connected Lie group, and let D be a discrete subgroup of N with compact right quotient space. Then N/D is called a nilmanifold.

Let (A,<=) and (B,<=) be well ordered sets with ordinal numbers alpha and beta. Then alpha<beta iff A is order isomorphic to an initial segment of B (Dauben 1990, p. 199). ...

A catastrophe which can occur for four control factors and two behavior axes. The parabolic umbilic catastrophe is given by the unfolding ...

An m×n matrix which gives the possible outcome of a two-person zero-sum game when player A has m possible moves and player B n moves. The analysis of the matrix in order to ...

The pentanacci constant is the limiting ratio of adjacent pentanacci numbers. It is the algebraic number P = (x^5-x^4-x^3-x^2-x-1)_1 (1) = 1.96594823... (2) (OEIS A103814), ...

For every k>1, there exist only finite many pairs of powers (p,p^') with p and p^' natural numbers and k=p^'-p.

Every Lie algebra L is isomorphic to a subalgebra of some Lie algebra A^-, where the associative algebra A may be taken to be the linear operators over a vector space V.
