Given a contravariant basis {e^->_1,...,e^->_n}, its dual covariant basis is given by e^->^alpha·e^->_beta=g(e^->^alpha,e^->_beta)=delta_beta^alpha, where g is the metric and ...

Given a vector bundle pi:E->M, its dual bundle is a vector bundle pi^*:E^*->M. The fiber bundle of E^* over a point p in M is the dual vector space to the fiber of E.

If X is a normed linear space, then the set of continuous linear functionals on X is called the dual (or conjugate) space of X. When equipped with the norm ...

A term in social choice theory meaning each alternative receives equal weight for a single vote.

Dual pairs of linear programs are in "strong duality" if both are possible. The theorem was first conceived by John von Neumann. The first written proof was an Air Force ...

The Dürer graph is the skeleton of Dürer's solid, which is the generalized Petersen graph GP(6,2). It is illustrated above in a number of embeddings. It is implemented in the ...

The dumbbell curve is the sextic curve a^4y^2=x^4(a^2-x^2). (1) It has area A=1/4pia^2 (2) and approximate arc length s approx 5.541a. (3) For the parametrization x = at (4) ...

A pair of conics obtained by expanding an equation in Monge's form z=F(x,y) in a Maclaurin series z = z(0,0)+z_1x+z_2y+1/2(z_(11)x^2+2z_(12)xy+z_(22)y^2)+... (1) = ...

In three mutually orthogonal systems of surfaces, the lines of curvature on any surface in one of the systems are its intersections with the surfaces of the other two systems.

Let the values of a function f(x) be tabulated at points x_i equally spaced by h=x_(i+1)-x_i, so f_1=f(x_1), f_2=f(x_2), ..., f_n=f(x_n). Then Durand's rule approximating the ...
