A stack F on a topological space X is said to be a stack of groupoids if for each open subset U subset= X, the category F(U) is a groupoid.

sum_(k=-infty)^infty(a; m-k)(b; n-k)(a+b+k; k)=(a+n; m)(b+m; n).

A star polygon-like figure {p/q} for which p and q are not relatively prime. Examples include the hexagram {6/2}, star of Lakshmi {8/2}, and nonagram {9/3}.

A fractal composed of repeated copies of a pentagram or other polygon. The above figure shows a generalization to different offsets from the center.

An expression built up from statements letters by appropriate application of connectives (Mendelson 1997, p. 13).

A symbol used to represent a Boolean statement in logic that can take the value either true or false. All statement letters are statements forms (Mendelson 1997, p. 13).

f_p=f_0+1/2p(p+1)delta_(1/2)-1/2(p-1)pdelta_(-1/2) +(S_3+S_4)delta_(1/2)^3+(S_3-S_4)delta_(-1/2)^3+..., (1) for p in [-1/2,1/2], where delta is the central difference and ...

Stochastic optimization refers to the minimization (or maximization) of a function in the presence of randomness in the optimization process. The randomness may be present as ...

A straight line embedding, or "straight line drawing," of a graph is a graph embedding in which all edges are drawn as straight line segments (as opposed to curves, etc.).

The straight polyomino of order n is the n-polyomino in which all squares are placed along a line.
