For every ergodic flow on a nonatomic probability space, there is a measurable set intersecting almost every orbit in a discrete set.

A Banach space X has the approximation property (AP) if, for every epsilon>0 and each compact subset K of X, there is a finite rank operator T in X such that for each x in K, ...

The set of points in the space of system variables such that initial conditions chosen in this set dynamically evolve to a particular attractor.

A linear operator A:D(A)->H from its domain D(A) into a Hilbert space H is closed if for any sequence of vectors v_n in D(A) such that v_n->v and Av_n->x as n->infty, it ...

A bilinear functional phi on a normed space E is called coercive (or sometimes elliptic) if there exists a positive constant K such that phi(x,x)>=K||x||^2 for all x in E.

Cohomotopy groups are similar to homotopy groups. A cohomotopy group is a group related to the homotopy classes of maps from a space X into a sphere S^n.

A set S in a vector space over R is called a convex set if the line segment joining any pair of points of S lies entirely in S.

The plane spanned by two coordinate axes in the three-dimensional Euclidean space. The coordinate plane spanned by the x- and the y-axis is called xy-plane.

The cotangent bundle of a manifold is similar to the tangent bundle, except that it is the set (x,f) where x in M and f is a dual vector in the tangent space to x in M. The ...

The n-cyclohedron, also known as the Bott-Taubes polytope, is defined as the compactification of the configuration space of n points on the circle. The cyclohedron can be ...
