Let a cotree of a spanning tree T in a connected graph G be denoted T^*. Then the edges of G which are not in T^* are called its twigs (Harary 1994, p. 39).

A generalization of spun knots due to Zeeman. This method produces four-dimensional knot types that cannot be produced by ordinary spinning.

A class of area-preserving maps of the form theta_(i+1) = theta_i+2pialpha(r_i) (1) r_(i+1) = r_i, (2) which maps circles into circles but with a twist resulting from the ...

The term "twisted sphere" is used to mean either a projective plane (Henle 1994, p. 110) or the corkscrew surface obtained by extending a sphere along a diameter and then ...

The collection of twistors in Minkowski space that forms a four-dimensional complex vector space.

Except for triangles, every simple polygon has at least two nonoverlapping ears.

An error in a statistical test which occurs when a false hypothesis is accepted (a false positive in terms of the null hypothesis).

An error in a statistical test which occurs when a true hypothesis is rejected (a false negative in terms of the null hypothesis).

f(x)=1-2x^2 for x in [-1,1]. Fixed points occur at x=-1, 1/2, and order 2 fixed points at x=(1+/-sqrt(5))/4. The natural invariant of the map is rho(y)=1/(pisqrt(1-y^2)).

The Ulam sequence {a_i}=(u,v) is defined by a_1=u, a_2=v, with the general term a_n for n>2 given by the least integer expressible uniquely as the sum of two distinct earlier ...
