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 ...

A Heegaard splitting of a connected orientable 3-manifold M is any way of expressing M as the union of two (3,1)-handlebodies along their boundaries. The boundary of such a ...

The values of -d for which imaginary quadratic fields Q(sqrt(-d)) are uniquely factorable into factors of the form a+bsqrt(-d). Here, a and b are half-integers, except for ...

The Heesch number of a closed plane figure is the maximum number of times that figure can be completely surrounded by copies of itself. The determination of the maximum ...

How many times can a shape be completely surrounded by copies of itself without being able to tile the entire plane, i.e., what is the maximum (finite) Heesch number?

The vertical length of an object from top to bottom.

The Heilbronn triangle problem is to place n>=3 points in a disk (square, equilateral triangle, etc.) of unit area so as to maximize the area Delta(n) of the smallest of the ...

The Heine-Borel theorem states that a subspace of R^n (with the usual topology) is compact iff it is closed and bounded. The Heine-Borel theorem can be proved using the ...

The second-order ordinary differential equation (Moon and Spencer 1961, p. 157; Zwillinger 1997, p. 166).

The system of partial differential equations S_t=SxS_(xx).
