A near-perfect matching is a matching in which a single vertex is left unmatched. Just as perfect matchings can occur only for graphs with an even number of vertices, ...

Every irrational number x can be expanded in a unique continued fraction expansion x=b_0+(e_1)/(b_1+(e_2)/(b_2+(e_3)/(b_3+...)))=[b_0;e_1b_1,e_2b_2,e_3b_3,...] such that b_0 ...

A condition which must hold for a result to be true, but which does not guarantee it to be true. If a condition is both necessary and sufficient, then the result is said to ...

The operation of interchanging true and false in a logical statement. The negation of A is often called "NOT-A," and can be denoted !A, or with the negation sign ¬, so not-A ...

The symbol ¬ used to denote the negation operation ("NOT") in symbolic logic, also called "logical not."

A negative definite matrix is a Hermitian matrix all of whose eigenvalues are negative. A matrix m may be tested to determine if it is negative definite in the Wolfram ...

A negative integer is one of the integers ..., -4, -3, -2, -1 obtained by negating the positive integers. The negative integers are commonly denoted Z^-.

The term negative likelihood ratio is also used (especially in medicine) to test nonnested complementary hypotheses as follows, NLR = ([false negative rate])/([true negative ...

A negative matrix is a real or integer matrix (a)_(ij) for which each matrix element is a negative number, i.e., a_(ij)<0 for all i, j. Negative matrices are therefore a ...

A negative semidefinite matrix is a Hermitian matrix all of whose eigenvalues are nonpositive. A matrix m may be tested to determine if it is negative semidefinite in the ...
