The gear curve is a curve resembling a gear with n teeth given by the parametric equations x = rcost (1) y = rsint, (2) where r=a+1/btanh[bsin(nt)], (3) where tanhx is the ...

The Gelfand-Naimark theorem states that each C^*-algebra is isometrically *-isomorphic to a closed *-subalgebra of the algebra B(H) consisting of all bounded operators acting ...

If A is a unital Banach algebra where every nonzero element is invertible, then A is the algebra of complex numbers.

The identity F_n^4-F_(n-2)F_(n-1)F_(n+1)F_(n+2)=1, where F_n is a Fibonacci number.

The general orthogonal group GO_n(q,F) is the subgroup of all elements of the projective general linear group that fix the particular nonsingular quadratic form F. The ...

An arrangement of points with no three collinear, or of lines with no three concurrent.

The general unitary group GU_n(q) is the subgroup of all elements of the general linear group GL(q^2) that fix a given nonsingular Hermitian form. This is equivalent, in the ...

A ruled surface is called a generalized cone if it can be parameterized by x(u,v)=p+vy(u), where p is a fixed point which can be regarded as the vertex of the cone. A ...

For a form Q, the generic character chi_i(Q) of Q is defined as the values of chi_i(m) where (m,2d)=1 and Q represents m: chi_1(Q), chi_2(Q), ..., chi_r(Q) (Cohn 1980, p. ...

A cylindrical algebraic decomposition that omits sets of measure zero. Generic cylindrical algebraic decompositions are generally much quicker to compute than are normal ...
