The metric tensor g on a smooth manifold M=(M,g) is said to be semi-Riemannian if the index of g is nonzero. In nearly all literature, the term semi-Riemannian is used ...

A semialgebraic set is a subset of R^n which is a finite Boolean combination of sets of the form {x^_=(x_1,...,x_n):f(x^_)>0} and {x^_:g(x^_)=0}, where f and g are ...

X subset= R^n is semianalytic if, for all x in R^n, there is an open neighborhood U of x such that X intersection U is a finite Boolean combination of sets {x^_ in ...

Half a circle. The area of a semicircle of radius r is given by A = int_0^rint_(-sqrt(r^2-x^2))^(sqrt(r^2-x^2))dxdy (1) = 2int_0^rsqrt(r^2-x^2)dx (2) = 1/2pir^2. (3) The ...

The symbol ; given special meanings in several mathematics contexts, the most common of which is the covariant derivative.

A semicubical parabola is a curve of the form y=+/-ax^(3/2) (1) (i.e., it is half a cubic, and hence has power 3/2). It has parametric equations x = t^2 (2) y = at^3, (3) and ...

For a semicubical parabola with parametric equations x = t^2 (1) y = at^3, (2) the involute is given by x_i = (t^2)/3-8/(27a^2) (3) y_i = -(4t)/(9a), (4) which is half a ...

The field of semidefinite programming (SDP) or semidefinite optimization (SDO) deals with optimization problems over symmetric positive semidefinite matrix variables with ...

A fractional derivative of order 1/2. The semiderivative of t^lambda is given by D^(1/2)t^lambda=(t^(lambda-1/2)Gamma(lambda+1))/(Gamma(lambda+1/2)), so the semiderivative of ...

A "split" extension G of groups N and F which contains a subgroup F^_ isomorphic to F with G=F^_N^_ and F^_ intersection N^_={e} (Ito 1987, p. 710). Then the semidirect ...
