Let X be a continuum (i.e., a compact connected metric space). Then X is hereditarily unicoherent provided that every subcontinuum of X is unicoherent. Any hereditarily ...

Let A be a C^*-algebra. A C^*-subalgebra (that is a closed *-subalgebra) B of A is called hereditary if bab^' in B for all b,b^' in B and a in A, or equivalently if for a in ...

The representation of a number as a sum of powers of a base b, followed by expression of each of the exponents as a sum of powers of b, etc., until the process stops. For ...

The illusion in view by staring at the small black dot for a half minute or so, then switching to the white dot. The black squares appear stationary when staring at the white ...

A symbol used to represent the point and space groups (e.g., 2/m3^_). Some symbols have abbreviated form. The equivalence between Hermann-Mauguin symbols (a.k.a. ...

The Machin-like formula 1/4pi=2cot^(-1)(2)-cot^(-1)(7). The other 2-term Machin-like formulas are Euler's Machin-like formula, Hutton's formula, and Machin's formula.

A Hermitian inner product space is a complex vector space with a Hermitian inner product.

Every complex matrix can be broken into a Hermitian part A_H=1/2(A+A^(H)) (i.e., A_H is a Hermitian matrix) and an antihermitian part A_(AH)=1/2(A-A^(H)) (i.e., A_(AH) is an ...

The Heronian mean of two numbers a and b is defined as HM(a,b) = 1/3(2A+G) (1) = 1/3(a+sqrt(ab)+b), (2) where A is the arithmetic mean and G the geometric mean. It arises in ...

The Herschel is the heptomino illustrated above which is shaped like the astronomical symbol for Saturn. It was misnamed by early investigators of the game of life who ...
