The Boy surface is a nonorientable surface that is one possible parametrization of the surface obtained by sewing a Möbius strip to the edge of a disk. Two other ...

Linear programming, sometimes known as linear optimization, is the problem of maximizing or minimizing a linear function over a convex polyhedron specified by linear and ...

An ambient isotopy from an embedding of a manifold M in N to another is a homotopy of self diffeomorphisms (or isomorphisms, or piecewise-linear transformations, etc.) of N, ...

The Danzer configuration is a 35_4 self-dual configuration of 35 lines and 35 points in which 4 points lie on each line and 4 lines pass through each point. The Levi graph of ...

A surface S is n-embeddable if it can be placed in R^n-space without self-intersections, but cannot be similarly placed in any R^k for k<n. A surface so embedded is said to ...

A version of the liar's paradox, attributed to the philosopher Epimenides in the sixth century BC. "All Cretans are liars... One of their own poets has said so." This is not ...

The M'Cay cubic Z(X_3) is a self-isogonal cubic given by the locus of all points whose pedal circle touches the nine-point circle, or equivalently, the locus of all points P ...

Let H be a subgroup of a group G. The similarity transformation of H by a fixed element x in G not in H always gives a subgroup. If xHx^(-1)=H for every element x in G, then ...

The pentagrammic prism is the self-intersecting uniform polyhedron with Maeder index 78 (Maeder 1997), Coxeter index 33 (Coxeter et al. 1954), and Har'El index 3 (Har'El ...

A row-convex polyomino is a self-avoiding convex polyomino such that the intersection of any horizontal line with the polyomino has at most two connected components. A ...
