In mathematics, the term Beurling algebra is used for different algebras introduced by , usually it is an algebra of periodic functions with Fourier series Example We may consider the algebra of those functions f where the majorants of the Fourier coefficients an are summable. In other words Example We may consid...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pugh%27s%20closing%20lemma
In mathematics, Pugh's closing lemma is a result that links periodic orbit solutions of differential equations to chaotic behaviour. It can be formally stated as follows: Let be a diffeomorphism of a compact smooth manifold . Given a nonwandering point of , there exists a diffeomorphism arbitrarily close to ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weierstrass%20ring
In mathematics, a Weierstrass ring, named by Nagata after Karl Weierstrass, is a commutative local ring that is Henselian, pseudo-geometric, and such that any quotient ring by a prime ideal is a finite extension of a regular local ring. Examples The Weierstrass preparation theorem can be used to show that the ring of...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henselian%20ring
In mathematics, a Henselian ring (or Hensel ring) is a local ring in which Hensel's lemma holds. They were introduced by , who named them after Kurt Hensel. Azumaya originally allowed Henselian rings to be non-commutative, but most authors now restrict them to be commutative. Some standard references for Hensel rings...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic%20chain%20length
In polymer chemistry, the kinetic chain length () of a polymer is the average number of units called monomers added to a growing chain during chain-growth polymerization. During this process, a polymer chain is formed when monomers are bonded together to form long chains known as polymers. Kinetic chain length is defin...
