In mathematics, a decomposable measure (also known as a strictly localizable measure) is a measure that is a disjoint union of finite measures. This is a generalization of σ-finite measures, which are the same as those that are a disjoint union of countably many finite measures. There are several theorems in measure th...

In mathematics, a definite quadratic form is a quadratic form over some real vector space V that has the same sign (always positive or always negative) for every non-zero vector of V. According to that sign, the quadratic form is called positive-definite or negative-definite. A semidefinite (or semi-definite) quadratic...

In mathematics, a deformation ring is a ring that controls liftings of a representation of a Galois group from a finite field to a local field. In particular for any such lifting problem there is often a universal deformation ring that classifies all such liftings, and whose spectrum is the universal deformation space....

Equivalently, it becomes a "line segment".Often, the degenerate cases are the exceptional cases where changes to the usual dimension or the cardinality of the object (or of some part of it) occur.

For example, right triangles, isosceles triangles and equilateral triangles are non-generic and non-degenerate.

In mathematics, a dense graph is a graph in which the number of edges is close to the maximal number of edges (where every pair of vertices is connected by one edge).

The graph density of simple graphs is defined to be the ratio of the number of edges |E| with respect to the maximum possible edges.

The maximum number of edges for an undirected graph is ( | V | 2 ) = | V | ( | V | − 1 ) 2 {\displaystyle {\binom {|V|}{2}}={\frac {|V|(|V|-1)}{2}}} , so the maximal density is 1 (for complete graphs) and the minimal density is 0 (Coleman & Moré 1983).

In specialized mathematical contexts, values can be objectively assigned to certain series whose sequences of partial sums diverge, in order to make meaning of the divergence of the series. A summability method or summation method is a partial function from the set of series to values. For example, Cesàro summation ass...
Summation method

Cesàro summation is an averaging method, in that it relies on the arithmetic mean of the sequence of partial sums. Other methods involve analytic continuations of related series. In physics, there are a wide variety of summability methods; these are discussed in greater detail in the article on regularization.

In mathematics, a diversity is a generalization of the concept of metric space. The concept was introduced in 2012 by Bryant and Tupper, who call diversities "a form of multi-way metric". The concept finds application in nonlinear analysis.Given a set X {\displaystyle X} , let ℘ fin ( X ) {\displaystyle \wp _{\mbox{fin...

Bryant and Tupper observe that these axioms imply monotonicity; that is, if A ⊆ B {\displaystyle A\subseteq B} , then δ ( A ) ≤ δ ( B ) {\displaystyle \delta (A)\leq \delta (B)} . They state that the term "diversity" comes from the appearance of a special case of their definition in work on phylogenetic and ecological ...

In mathematics, a divisibility sequence is an integer sequence ( a n ) {\displaystyle (a_{n})} indexed by positive integers n such that if m ∣ n then a m ∣ a n {\displaystyle {\text{if }}m\mid n{\text{ then }}a_{m}\mid a_{n}} for all m, n. That is, whenever one index is a multiple of another one, then the corresponding...

In mathematics, a divisor of an integer n {\displaystyle n} , also called a factor of n {\displaystyle n} , is an integer m {\displaystyle m} that may be multiplied by some integer to produce n {\displaystyle n} . In this case, one also says that n {\displaystyle n} is a multiple of m . {\displaystyle m.} An integer n ...
