In mathematics, the Vitali–Hahn–Saks theorem, introduced by Vitali (1907), Hahn (1922), and Saks (1933), proves that under some conditions a sequence of measures converging point-wise does so uniformly and the limit is also a measure.

In mathematics, the Vogel plane is a method of parameterizing simple Lie algebras by eigenvalues α, β, γ of the Casimir operator on the symmetric square of the Lie algebra, which gives a point (α: β: γ) of P2/S3, the projective plane P2 divided out by the symmetric group S3 of permutations of coordinates. It was introd...

In mathematics, the Volterra integral equations are a special type of integral equations. They are divided into two groups referred to as the first and the second kind. A linear Volterra equation of the first kind is f ( t ) = ∫ a t K ( t , s ) x ( s ) d s {\displaystyle f(t)=\int _{a}^{t}K(t,s)\,x(s)\,ds} where f is a...

{\displaystyle x(t)=f(t)+\int _{a}^{t}K(t,s)x(s)\,ds.} In operator theory, and in Fredholm theory, the corresponding operators are called Volterra operators. A useful method to solve such equations, the Adomian decomposition method, is due to George Adomian.

A linear Volterra integral equation is a convolution equation if x ( t ) = f ( t ) + ∫ t 0 t K ( t − s ) x ( s ) d s . {\displaystyle x(t)=f(t)+\int _{t_{0}}^{t}K(t-s)x(s)\,ds.} The function K {\displaystyle K} in the integral is called the kernel.

Such equations can be analyzed and solved by means of Laplace transform techniques. For a weakly singular kernel of the form K ( t , s ) = ( t 2 − s 2 ) − α {\displaystyle K(t,s)=(t^{2}-s^{2})^{-\alpha }} with 0 < α < 1 {\displaystyle 0<\alpha <1} , Volterra integral equation of the first kind can conveniently be trans...

In mathematics, the Volterra lattice, also known as the discrete KdV equation, the Kac–van Moerbeke lattice, and the Langmuir lattice, is a system of ordinary differential equations with variables indexed by some of the points of a 1-dimensional lattice. It was introduced by Marc Kac and Pierre van Moerbeke (1975) and ...

The Volterra lattice also behaves like a discrete version of the KdV equation. The Volterra lattice is an integrable system, and is related to the Toda lattice. It is also used as a model for Langmuir waves in plasmas.

In mathematics, the Voorhoeve index is a non-negative real number associated with certain functions on the complex numbers, named after Marc Voorhoeve. It may be used to extend Rolle's theorem from real functions to complex functions, taking the role that for real functions is played by the number of zeros of the funct...

In mathematics, the Vámos matroid or Vámos cube is a matroid over a set of eight elements that cannot be represented as a matrix over any field. It is named after English mathematician Peter Vámos, who first described it in an unpublished manuscript in 1968.
