In mathematics, a Swiss cheese is a compact subset of the complex plane obtained by removing from a closed disc some countable union of open discs, usually with some restriction on the centres and radii of the removed discs. Traditionally the deleted discs should have pairwise disjoint closures which are subsets of the...

In mathematics, a Sylvester domain, named after James Joseph Sylvester by Dicks & Sontag (1978), is a ring in which Sylvester's law of nullity holds. This means that if A is an m by n matrix, and B is an n by s matrix over R, then ρ(AB) ≥ ρ(A) + ρ(B) – nwhere ρ is the inner rank of a matrix. The inner rank of an m by n...

In mathematics, a Tamari lattice, introduced by Dov Tamari (1962), is a partially ordered set in which the elements consist of different ways of grouping a sequence of objects into pairs using parentheses; for instance, for a sequence of four objects abcd, the five possible groupings are ((ab)c)d, (ab)(cd), (a(bc))d, a...

In this partial order, any two groupings g1 and g2 have a greatest common predecessor, the meet g1 ∧ g2, and a least common successor, the join g1 ∨ g2.

The idea that simple operations, such as the multiplication and addition of numbers, are commutative was for many years implicitly assumed. Thus, this property was not named until the 19th century, when mathematics started to become formalized. A similar property exists for binary relations; a binary relation is said t...

In mathematics, a binary operation or dyadic operation is a rule for combining two elements (called operands) to produce another element. More formally, a binary operation is an operation of arity two. More specifically, an internal binary operation on a set is a binary operation whose two domains and the codomain are ...

Other examples are readily found in different areas of mathematics, such as vector addition, matrix multiplication, and conjugation in groups. An operation of arity two that involves several sets is sometimes also called a binary operation. For example, scalar multiplication of vector spaces takes a scalar and a vector...

In mathematics, a binary quadratic form is a quadratic homogeneous polynomial in two variables q ( x , y ) = a x 2 + b x y + c y 2 , {\displaystyle q(x,y)=ax^{2}+bxy+cy^{2},\,} where a, b, c are the coefficients. When the coefficients can be arbitrary complex numbers, most results are not specific to the case of two va...

This choice is motivated by their status as the driving force behind the development of algebraic number theory. Since the late nineteenth century, binary quadratic forms have given up their preeminence in algebraic number theory to quadratic and more general number fields, but advances specific to binary quadratic for...

x 2 + y 2 , x 2 + 2 y 2 , x 2 − 3 y 2 {\displaystyle x^{2}+y^{2},x^{2}+2y^{2},x^{2}-3y^{2}} and so on are quadratic forms, and the theory of quadratic forms gives a unified way of looking at and proving these theorems. Another instance of quadratic forms is Pell's equation x 2 − n y 2 = 1 {\displaystyle x^{2}-ny^{2}=1}...

In mathematics, a binary relation R is called well-founded (or wellfounded or foundational) on a class X if every non-empty subset S ⊆ X has a minimal element with respect to R, that is, an element m ∈ S not related by s R m (for instance, "s is not smaller than m") for any s ∈ S. In other words, a relation is well fou...

In set theory, a set x is called a well-founded set if the set membership relation is well-founded on the transitive closure of x. The axiom of regularity, which is one of the axioms of Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory, asserts that all sets are well-founded. A relation R is converse well-founded, upwards well-founded or No...

In mathematics, a binary relation R on a set X is reflexive if it relates every element of X to itself.An example of a reflexive relation is the relation "is equal to" on the set of real numbers, since every real number is equal to itself. A reflexive relation is said to have the reflexive property or is said to posses...

In mathematics, a binary relation R {\displaystyle R} on a set X {\displaystyle X} is antisymmetric if there is no pair of distinct elements of X {\displaystyle X} each of which is related by R {\displaystyle R} to the other. More formally, R {\displaystyle R} is antisymmetric precisely if for all a , b ∈ X , {\display...

In mathematics, a binary relation R ⊆ X×Y between two sets X and Y is total (or left total) if the source set X equals the domain {x: there is a y with xRy }. Conversely, R is called right total if Y equals the range {y: there is an x with xRy }. When f: X → Y is a function, the domain of f is all of X, hence f is a to...
