A web diagram, also called a cobweb plot, is a graph that can be used to visualize successive iterations of a function y=f(x). In particular, the segments of the diagram ...

The Condon-Shortley phase is the factor of (-1)^m that occurs in some definitions of the spherical harmonics (e.g., Arfken 1985, p. 682) to compensate for the lack of ...

A diagram used in the solution of ordinary differential equations of the form (dw)/(dz)=(g(z,w))/(h(z,q)) which vanish when z=0, where g(0,0)=h(0,0)=0 (Ince 1956, pp. 298 and ...

A planar diagram depicting a link (or knot) as a sequence of segments with gaps representing undercrossings and solid lines overcrossings. In such a diagram, only two ...

A knot diagram is a picture of a projection of a knot onto a plane. Usually, only double points are allowed (no more than two points are allowed to be superposed), and the ...

A knot diagram which has alternating under- and overcrossings as the knot projection is traversed. The first knot which does not have an alternating diagram has 8 crossings.

A diagram expressing how the gluing operation that connects the handlebodies involved in a Heegaard splitting proceeds, usually by showing how the meridians of the handlebody ...

Every semisimple Lie algebra g is classified by its Dynkin diagram. A Dynkin diagram is a graph with a few different kinds of possible edges. The connected components of the ...

A Ferrers diagram represents partitions as patterns of dots, with the nth row having the same number of dots as the nth term in the partition. The spelling "Ferrars" (Skiena ...

A schematic diagram used in logic theory to depict collections of sets and represent their relationships. The Venn diagrams on two and three sets are illustrated above. The ...
