A symmetric design is a block design (v, k, lambda, r, b) with the same number of blocks as points, so b=v (or, equivalently, r=k). An example of a symmetric block design is ...

The function defined by U(p)=(p#)^(p#), where p is a prime number and p# is a primorial. The values for p=2, 3, ..., are 4, 46656, ...

A random number which lies within a specified range (which can, without loss of generality, be taken as [0, 1]), with a uniform distribution.

The number of graph edges meeting at a given node in a graph is called the order of that graph vertex.

x^n=sum_(k=0)^n<n; k>(x+k; n), where <n; k> is an Eulerian number and (n; k) is a binomial coefficient (Worpitzky 1883; Comtet 1974, p. 242).

Yahtzee is a game played with five 6-sided dice. Players take turns rolling the dice, and trying to get certain types of rolls, each with an assigned point value, as ...

Given a point set P={x_n}_(n=0)^(N-1) in the s-dimensional unit cube [0,1)^s, the local discrepancy is defined as D(J,P)=|(number of x_n in J)/N-Vol(J)|, Vol(J) is the ...

A quaternion with complex coefficients. The algebra of biquaternions is isomorphic to a full matrix ring over the complex number field (van der Waerden 1985).

A graph or directed graph together with a function which assigns a positive real number to each edge (Harary 1994, p. 52).

The Higman-Sims graph is the unique strongly regular graph on 100 nodes (Higman and Sims 1968, Brouwer 1983, Brouwer and Haemers 1993). It was also constructed independently ...
