Given a metric g_(alphabeta), the discriminant is defined by g = det(g_(alphabeta)) (1) = |g_(11) g_(12); g_(21) g_(22)| (2) = g_(11)g_(22)-(g_(12))^2. (3) Let g be the ...

Also known as Kolmogorov entropy, Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy, or KS entropy. The metric entropy is 0 for nonchaotic motion and >0 for chaotic motion.

1. Find a complete system of invariants, or 2. Decide when two metrics differ only by a coordinate transformation. The most common statement of the problem is, "Given metrics ...

The term metric signature refers to the signature of a metric tensor g=g_(ij) on a smooth manifold M, a tool which quantifies the numbers of positive, zero, and negative ...

A metric space is a set S with a global distance function (the metric g) that, for every two points x,y in S, gives the distance between them as a nonnegative real number ...

Roughly speaking, the metric tensor g_(ij) is a function which tells how to compute the distance between any two points in a given space. Its components can be viewed as ...

The index associated to a metric tensor g on a smooth manifold M is a nonnegative integer I for which index(gx)=I for all x in M. Here, the notation index(gx) denotes the ...

A topology induced by the metric g defined on a metric space X. The open sets are all subsets that can be realized as the unions of open balls B(x_0,r)={x in X|g(x_0,x)<r}, ...

A topology that is "potentially" a metric topology, in the sense that one can define a suitable metric that induces it. The word "potentially" here means that although the ...

The minimum excluded value. The mex of a set S of nonnegative integers is the least nonnegative integer not in the set.
