Let a plane figure have area A and perimeter p. Then Q=(4piA)/(p^2)<=1, where Q is known as the isoperimetric quotient. The equation becomes an equality only for a circle.

Of all convex n-gons of a given perimeter, the one which maximizes area is the regular n-gon.

An isosceles trapezoid (called an isosceles trapezium by the British; Bronshtein and Semendyayev 1997, p. 174) is trapezoid in which the base angles are equal and therefore ...

A parameterization is isothermal if, for zeta=u+iv and phi_k(zeta)=(partialx_k)/(partialu)-i(partialx_k)/(partialv), the identity phi_1^2(zeta)+phi_2^2(zeta)+phi_3^2(zeta)=0 ...

The isotomic transform of a geometric object is the object obtained by collectively taking the isotomic conjugates of all its points.

A homotopy from one embedding of a manifold M in N to another such that at every time, it is an embedding. The notion of isotopy is category independent, so notions of ...

An isozonohedron is a zonohedron whose faces consist of n(n-1) congruent rhombi (Fedorov 1953, pp. 256-266; Chilton and Coxeter 1963). The following table summarizes some of ...

The repeated application of a transformation.

Let W(u) be a Wiener process. Then where V_t=f(W(t),tau) for 0<=tau=T-t<=T, and f in C^(2,1)((0,infty)×[0,T]). Note that while Ito's lemma was proved by Kiyoshi Ito (also ...

Every finite-dimensional Lie algebra of characteristic p!=0 has a faithful finite-dimensional representation.
