The prime link 02-0201 which has Jones polynomial V(t)=-t-t^(-1) and HOMFLY polynomial P(z,alpha)=z^(-1)(alpha^(-1)-alpha^(-3))+zalpha^(-1). It has braid word sigma_1^2.

A point of discontinuity, also called a leap.

Random walk trajectories which are composed of self-similar jumps. They are described by the Lévy distribution.

A function f(x) satisfies the Lipschitz condition of order beta at x=0 if |f(h)-f(0)|<=B|h|^beta for all |h|<epsilon, where B and beta are independent of h, beta>0, and alpha ...

A set of points capable of being enclosed in intervals whose total length is arbitrarily small.

An asymmetrical apodization function defined by M(x,b,d)={0 for x<-b; (x-b)/(2b) for -b<x<b; 1 for b<x<b+2d; 0 for x<b+2d, (1) where the two-sided portion is 2b long (total) ...

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 ...

Partial differential equation boundary conditions which give the normal derivative on a surface.

An extremely powerful theorem in physics which states that each symmetry of a system leads to a physically conserved quantity. Symmetry under translation corresponds to ...

A function f(x) is said to be nondecreasing on an interval I if f(b)>=f(a) for all b>a, where a,b in I. Conversely, a function f(x) is said to be nonincreasing on an interval ...
