In mathematics, the upper bound theorem states that cyclic polytopes have the largest possible number of faces among all convex polytopes with a given dimension and number of vertices. It is one of the central results of polyhedral combinatorics. Originally known as the upper bound conjecture, this statement was formul... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_bound_theorem |
In mathematics, the upper half-plane, H , {\displaystyle \,{\mathcal {H}}\,,} is the set of points ( x , y ) {\displaystyle (x,y)} in the Cartesian plane with y > 0 {\displaystyle y>0} . The lower half-plane is defined similarly, by requiring that y {\displaystyle y} be negative instead. Each is an example of two-dimen... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_half_plane |
In mathematics, the upper topology on a partially ordered set X is the coarsest topology in which the closure of a singleton { a } {\displaystyle \{a\}} is the order section a ] = { x ≤ a } {\displaystyle a]=\{x\leq a\}} for each a ∈ X . {\displaystyle a\in X.} If ≤ {\displaystyle \leq } is a partial order, the upper t... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_topology |
However, not all up-sets must necessarily be open sets. The lower topology induced by the preorder is defined similarly in terms of the down-sets. The preorder inducing the upper topology is its specialization preorder, but the specialization preorder of the lower topology is opposite to the inducing preorder. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_topology |
The real upper topology is most naturally defined on the upper-extended real line ( − ∞ , + ∞ ] = R ∪ { + ∞ } {\displaystyle (-\infty ,+\infty ]=\mathbb {R} \cup \{+\infty \}} by the system { ( a , + ∞ ]: a ∈ R ∪ { ± ∞ } } {\displaystyle \{(a,+\infty ]:a\in \mathbb {R} \cup \{\pm \infty \}\}} of open sets. Similarly, t... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_topology |
In mathematics, the usual convention for any Riemannian manifold is to use a positive-definite metric tensor (meaning that after diagonalization, elements on the diagonal are all positive). In theoretical physics, spacetime is modeled by a pseudo-Riemannian manifold. The signature counts how many time-like or space-lik... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_signature |
In mathematics, the value distribution theory of holomorphic functions is a division of mathematical analysis. It tries to get quantitative measures of the number of times a function f(z) assumes a value a, as z grows in size, refining the Picard theorem on behaviour close to an essential singularity. The theory exists... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_distribution_theory |
In the case of one variable the term Nevanlinna theory, after Rolf Nevanlinna, is also common. The now-classical theory received renewed interest, when Paul Vojta suggested some analogies with the problem of integral solutions to Diophantine equations. These turned out to involve some close parallels, and to lead to fr... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_distribution_theory |
In mathematics, the values of the trigonometric functions can be expressed approximately, as in cos ( π / 4 ) ≈ 0.707 {\displaystyle \cos(\pi /4)\approx 0.707} , or exactly, as in cos ( π / 4 ) = 2 / 2 {\displaystyle \cos(\pi /4)={\sqrt {2}}/2} . While trigonometric tables contain many approximate values, the exact... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometric_constants_expressed_in_real_radicals |
In mathematics, the van der Corput inequality is a corollary of the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality that is useful in the study of correlations among vectors, and hence random variables. It is also useful in the study of equidistributed sequences, for example in the Weyl equidistribution estimate. Loosely stated, the van der... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Corput_inequality |
In mathematics, the variation diminishing property of certain mathematical objects involves diminishing the number of changes in sign (positive to negative or vice versa). | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variation_diminishing_property_of_Bézier_curves |
In mathematics, the vector flow refers to a set of closely related concepts of the flow determined by a vector field. These appear in a number of different contexts, including differential topology, Riemannian geometry and Lie group theory. These related concepts are explored in a spectrum of articles: exponential map ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_flow |
In mathematics, the vertex enumeration problem for a polytope, a polyhedral cell complex, a hyperplane arrangement, or some other object of discrete geometry, is the problem of determination of the object's vertices given some formal representation of the object. A classical example is the problem of enumeration of the... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex_enumeration_problem |
In mathematics, the vertical bundle and the horizontal bundle are vector bundles associated to a smooth fiber bundle. More precisely, given a smooth fiber bundle π: E → B {\displaystyle \pi \colon E\to B} , the vertical bundle V E {\displaystyle VE} and horizontal bundle H E {\displaystyle HE} are subbundles of the tan... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_and_horizontal_bundles |
To make this precise, define the vertical space V e E {\displaystyle V_{e}E} at e ∈ E {\displaystyle e\in E} to be ker ( d π e ) {\displaystyle \ker(d\pi _{e})} . That is, the differential d π e: T e E → T b B {\displaystyle d\pi _{e}\colon T_{e}E\to T_{b}B} (where b = π ( e ) {\displaystyle b=\pi (e)} ) is a linear ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_and_horizontal_bundles |
The name is motivated by low-dimensional examples like the trivial line bundle over a circle, which is sometimes depicted as a vertical cylinder projecting to a horizontal circle. A subspace H e E {\displaystyle H_{e}E} of T e E {\displaystyle T_{e}E} is called a horizontal space if T e E {\displaystyle T_{e}E} is the ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_and_horizontal_bundles |
The use of the words "the" and "a" here is intentional: each vertical subspace is unique, defined explicitly by ker ( d π e ) {\displaystyle \ker(d\pi _{e})} . Excluding trivial cases, there are an infinite number of horizontal subspaces at each point. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_and_horizontal_bundles |
Also note that arbitrary choices of horizontal space at each point will not, in general, form a smooth vector bundle; they must also vary in an appropriately smooth way. The horizontal bundle is one way to formulate the notion of an Ehresmann connection on a fiber bundle. Thus, for example, if E is a principal G-bundle... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_and_horizontal_bundles |
In mathematics, the vertical line test is a visual way to determine if a curve is a graph of a function or not. A function can only have one output, y, for each unique input, x. If a vertical line intersects a curve on an xy-plane more than once then for one value of x the curve has more than one value of y, and so, th... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_line_test |
In mathematics, the viscosity solution concept was introduced in the early 1980s by Pierre-Louis Lions and Michael G. Crandall as a generalization of the classical concept of what is meant by a 'solution' to a partial differential equation (PDE). It has been found that the viscosity solution is the natural solution con... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity_solution |
Under the viscosity solution concept, u does not need to be everywhere differentiable. There may be points where either D u {\displaystyle Du} or D 2 u {\displaystyle D^{2}u} does not exist and yet u satisfies the equation in an appropriate generalized sense. The definition allows only for certain kind of singularities... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity_solution |
In mathematics, the von Neumann conjecture stated that a group G is non-amenable if and only if G contains a subgroup that is a free group on two generators. The conjecture was disproved in 1980. In 1929, during his work on the Banach–Tarski paradox, John von Neumann defined the concept of amenable groups and showed th... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann_conjecture |
Although von Neumann's name is popularly attached to the conjecture, its first written appearance seems to be due to Mahlon Marsh Day in 1957. The Tits alternative is a fundamental theorem which, in particular, establishes the conjecture within the class of linear groups. The historically first potential counterexample... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann_conjecture |
Two years later, Sergei Adian showed that certain Burnside groups are also counterexamples. None of these counterexamples are finitely presented, and for some years it was considered possible that the conjecture held for finitely presented groups. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann_conjecture |
However, in 2003, Alexander Ol'shanskii and Mark Sapir exhibited a collection of finitely-presented groups which do not satisfy the conjecture. In 2013, Nicolas Monod found an easy counterexample to the conjecture. Given by piecewise projective homeomorphisms of the line, the group is remarkably simple to understand. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann_conjecture |
Even though it is not amenable, it shares many known properties of amenable groups in a straightforward way. In 2013, Yash Lodha and Justin Tatch Moore isolated a finitely presented non amenable subgroup of Monod's group. This provides the first torsion-free finitely presented counterexample, and admits a presentation ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann_conjecture |
In mathematics, the von Neumann paradox, named after John von Neumann, is the idea that one can break a planar figure such as the unit square into sets of points and subject each set to an area-preserving affine transformation such that the result is two planar figures of the same size as the original. This was proved ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann_paradox |
Banach and Tarski had proved that, using isometric transformations, the result of taking apart and reassembling a two-dimensional figure would necessarily have the same area as the original. This would make creating two unit squares out of one impossible. But von Neumann realized that the trick of such so-called parado... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann_paradox |
In mathematics, the walk-on-spheres method (WoS) is a numerical probabilistic algorithm, or Monte-Carlo method, used mainly in order to approximate the solutions of some specific boundary value problem for partial differential equations (PDEs). The WoS method was first introduced by Mervin E. Muller in 1956 to solve La... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walk-on-spheres_method |
In mathematics, the weakly chained diagonally dominant matrices are a family of nonsingular matrices that include the strictly diagonally dominant matrices. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weakly_chained_diagonally_dominant |
In mathematics, the well-ordering principle states that every non-empty set of positive integers contains a least element. In other words, the set of positive integers is well-ordered by its "natural" or "magnitude" order in which x {\displaystyle x} precedes y {\displaystyle y} if and only if y {\displaystyle y} is ei... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well-ordering_principle |
{\displaystyle 2,4,6,...} ; and 1 , 3 , 5 , . . . | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well-ordering_principle |
{\displaystyle 1,3,5,...} ). The phrase "well-ordering principle" is sometimes taken to be synonymous with the "well-ordering theorem". On other occasions it is understood to be the proposition that the set of integers { … , − 2 , − 1 , 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , … } {\displaystyle \{\ldots ,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,\ldots \}} contains a we... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well-ordering_principle |
In mathematics, the well-ordering theorem, also known as Zermelo's theorem, states that every set can be well-ordered. A set X is well-ordered by a strict total order if every non-empty subset of X has a least element under the ordering. The well-ordering theorem together with Zorn's lemma are the most important mathem... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zermelo's_well-ordering_theorem |
Ernst Zermelo introduced the axiom of choice as an "unobjectionable logical principle" to prove the well-ordering theorem. One can conclude from the well-ordering theorem that every set is susceptible to transfinite induction, which is considered by mathematicians to be a powerful technique. One famous consequence of t... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zermelo's_well-ordering_theorem |
In mathematics, the wholeness axiom is a strong axiom of set theory introduced by Paul Corazza in 2000. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wholeness_axiom |
In mathematics, the winding number of a curve in the plane around a given point is an integer representing the total number of times that curve travels counterclockwise around the point. The notion of winding number is important in the mathematical description of T-duality where it is used to measure the winding of str... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-duality |
Each curve has an orientation given by the arrows in the picture. In each situation, there is a distinguished point in the plane, illustrated in black. The winding number of the curve around this distinguished point is equal to the total number of counterclockwise turns that the curve makes around this point. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-duality |
When counting the total number of turns, counterclockwise turns count as positive, while clockwise turns counts as negative. For example, if the curve first circles the origin four times counterclockwise, and then circles the origin once clockwise, then the total winding number of the curve is three. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-duality |
According to this scheme, a curve that does not travel around the distinguished point at all has winding number zero, while a curve that travels clockwise around the point has negative winding number. Therefore, the winding number of a curve may be any integer. The pictures above show curves with winding numbers betwee... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-duality |
In mathematics, the winding number or winding index of a closed curve in the plane around a given point is an integer representing the total number of times that curve travels counterclockwise around the point, i.e., the curve's number of turns. For certain open plane curves, the number of turns may be non-integer. The... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winding_number |
In mathematics, the witch of Agnesi (Italian pronunciation: ) is a cubic plane curve defined from two diametrically opposite points of a circle. It gets its name from Italian mathematician Maria Gaetana Agnesi, and from a mistranslation of an Italian word for a sailing sheet. Before Agnesi, the same curve was studied b... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witch_of_Agnesi |
The graph of the derivative of the arctangent function forms an example of the witch of Agnesi. As the probability density function of the Cauchy distribution, the witch of Agnesi has applications in probability theory. It also gives rise to Runge's phenomenon in the approximation of functions by polynomials, has been ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witch_of_Agnesi |
The witch is tangent to its defining circle at one of the two defining points, and asymptotic to the tangent line to the circle at the other point. It has a unique vertex (a point of extreme curvature) at the point of tangency with its defining circle, which is also its osculating circle at that point. It also has two ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witch_of_Agnesi |
In mathematics, the word constant conveys multiple meanings. As an adjective, it refers to non-variance (i.e. unchanging with respect to some other value); as a noun, it has two different meanings: A fixed and well-defined number or other non-changing mathematical object. The terms mathematical constant or physical con... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_(mathematics) |
Such a constant is commonly represented by a variable which does not depend on the main variable(s) in question.For example, a general quadratic function is commonly written as: a x 2 + b x + c , {\displaystyle ax^{2}+bx+c\,,} where a, b and c are constants (coefficients or parameters), and x a variable—a placeholder f... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_(mathematics) |
Since c occurs in a term that does not involve x, it is called the constant term of the polynomial and can be thought of as the coefficient of x0. More generally, any polynomial term or expression of degree zero (no variable) is a constant. : 18 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_(mathematics) |
In mathematics, the word null (from German: null meaning "zero", which is from Latin: nullus meaning "none") is often associated with the concept of zero or the concept of nothing. It is used in varying context from "having zero members in a set" (e.g., null set) to "having a value of zero" (e.g., null vector).In a vec... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_(mathematics) |
A null space of a mapping is the part of the domain that is mapped into the null element of the image (the inverse image of the null element). For example, in linear algebra, the null space of a linear mapping, also known as kernel, is the set of vectors which map to the null vector under that mapping. In statistics, a... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_(mathematics) |
In mathematics, the y-homeomorphism, or crosscap slide, is a special type of auto-homeomorphism in non-orientable surfaces. It can be constructed by sliding a Möbius band included on the surface around an essential 1-sided closed curve until the original position; thus it is necessary that the surfaces have genus great... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y-homeomorphism |
In mathematics, the zero ideal in a ring R {\displaystyle R} is the ideal { 0 } {\displaystyle \{0\}} consisting of only the additive identity (or zero element). The fact that this is an ideal follows directly from the definition. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_zero_terms |
In mathematics, the zero module is the module consisting of only the additive identity for the module's addition function. In the integers, this identity is zero, which gives the name zero module. That the zero module is in fact a module is simple to show; it is closed under addition and multiplication trivially. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_zero_terms |
In mathematics, the zero tensor is a tensor, of any order, all of whose components are zero. The zero tensor of order 1 is sometimes known as the zero vector. Taking a tensor product of any tensor with any zero tensor results in another zero tensor. Adding the zero tensor is equivalent to the identity operation. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_vector |
In mathematics, the étale cohomology groups of an algebraic variety or scheme are algebraic analogues of the usual cohomology groups with finite coefficients of a topological space, introduced by Grothendieck in order to prove the Weil conjectures.

Examples of the most intriguing of these formulae include infinite series for π, one of which is given below: 1 π = 2 2 9801 ∑ k = 0 ∞ ( 4 k ) ! ( 1103 + 26390 k ) ( k ! ) | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srinivasa_Ramanujan |
4 396 4 k . {\displaystyle {\frac {1}{\pi }}={\frac {2{\sqrt {2}}}{9801}}\sum _{k=0}^{\infty }{\frac {(4k)!(1103+26390k)}{(k!)^{4}396^{4k}}}.} This result is based on the negative fundamental discriminant d = −4 × 58 = −232 with class number h(d) = 2. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srinivasa_Ramanujan |
Further, 26390 = 5 × 7 × 13 × 58 and 16 × 9801 = 3962, which is related to the fact that e π 58 = 396 4 − 104.000000177 … . {\textstyle e^{\pi {\sqrt {58}}}=396^{4}-104.000000177\dots .} This might be compared to Heegner numbers, which have class number 1 and yield similar formulae. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srinivasa_Ramanujan |
Ramanujan's series for π converges extraordinarily rapidly and forms the basis of some of the fastest algorithms currently used to calculate π.

His intuition also led him to derive some previously unknown identities, such as ( 1 + 2 ∑ n = 1 ∞ cos ( n θ ) cosh ( n π ) ) − 2 + ( 1 + 2 ∑ n = 1 ∞ cosh ( n θ ) cosh ( n π ) ) − 2 = 2 Γ 4 ( 3 4 ) π = 8 π 3 Γ 4 ( 1 4 ) {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}&\left(1+2\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }{\frac {\cos(n\theta )}{\cosh(... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srinivasa_Ramanujan |
They gave a non-convergent asymptotic series that permits exact computation of the number of partitions of an integer. In 1937, Hans Rademacher refined their formula to find an exact convergent series solution to this problem. Ramanujan and Hardy's work in this area gave rise to a powerful new method for finding asympt... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srinivasa_Ramanujan |
In mathematics, there is an ample supply of categorical dualities between certain categories of topological spaces and categories of partially ordered sets. Today, these dualities are usually collected under the label Stone duality, since they form a natural generalization of Stone's representation theorem for Boolean ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone's_duality |
In mathematics, there is in mathematical analysis a class of Sobolev inequalities, relating norms including those of Sobolev spaces. These are used to prove the Sobolev embedding theorem, giving inclusions between certain Sobolev spaces, and the Rellich–Kondrachov theorem showing that under slightly stronger conditions... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sobolev_inequality |
In mathematics, theta functions are special functions of several complex variables. They show up in many topics, including Abelian varieties, moduli spaces, quadratic forms, and solitons. As Grassmann algebras, they appear in quantum field theory.The most common form of theta function is that occurring in the theory of... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theta_series |
In mathematics, time-scale calculus is a unification of the theory of difference equations with that of differential equations, unifying integral and differential calculus with the calculus of finite differences, offering a formalism for studying hybrid systems. It has applications in any field that requires simultaneo... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-scale_calculus |
In mathematics, tiny and miny are operators that yield infinitesimal values when applied to numbers in combinatorial game theory. Given a positive number G, tiny G (denoted by ⧾G in many texts) is equal to {0|{0|-G}} for any game G, whereas miny G (analogously denoted ⧿G) is tiny G's negative, or {{G|0}|0}. Tiny and mi... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiny_and_miny |
