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."

The series which arises in the binomial theorem for negative integer -n, (x+a)^(-n) = sum_(k=0)^(infty)(-n; k)x^ka^(-n-k) (1) = sum_(k=0)^(infty)(-1)^k(n+k-1; k)x^ka^(-n-k) ...

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 ...

Let f:R->R, then the negative part of f is the function f^-:R->R defined by f^-(x)=max(-f(x),0). Note that the negative part is itself a nonnegative function. The negative ...

The negative real axis is the portion of the real axis with x<0.

A base for a neighborhood system of a point x is a collection N of open sets such that x belongs to every member of N, and any open set containing x also contains a member of ...

A curve also known as swan-like curve or streamline. It is given by the polar equation r=atheta+b, where a>0.
