The algebra A is called a pre-C^*-algebra if it satisfies all conditions to be a C^*-algebra except that its norm need not be complete.

If f(x) is a nonconstant integer polynomial and c is an integer such that f(c) is divisible by the prime p, that p is called a prime divisor of the polynomial f(x) (Nagell ...

A number r is an nth root of unity if r^n=1 and a primitive nth root of unity if, in addition, n is the smallest integer of k=1, ..., n for which r^k=1.

A data structure designed to allow repeated extraction of the smallest remaining key (Skiena 1990, p. 38).

A subset S subset R^n is said to be pseudo-convex at a point x in S if the associated pseudo-tangent cone P_S(x) to S at x contains S-{x}, i.e., if S-{x} subset P_S(x). Any ...

The pseudo-tangent cone P_S(x) of a subset S subset R^n at a point x in S is the set P_S(x)=convK_S^_, where K_S is the contingent cone of S and where conv(A) is the smallest ...

A function f defined on a subset S subset R^n is said to be pseudoconcave if -f is pseudoconvex.

A pyritohedron is an irregular dodecahedron composed of identical irregular pentagons. The name "pyritohedron" derives from that fact that a common crystal form in pyrite has ...

A recurrence relation between the function Q arising in quota systems, Q(n,r)=Q(n-1,r-1)+Q(n-1,r).

int_(-infty)^infty(J_(mu+xi)(x))/(x^(mu+xi))(J_(nu-xi)(y))/(y^(nu-xi))e^(itxi)dxi =[(2cos(1/2t))/(x^2e^(-it/2)+y^2e^(it/2))]^((mu+nu)/2) ...
