https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Job-shop%20scheduling
Job-shop scheduling, the job-shop problem (JSP) or job-shop scheduling problem (JSSP) is an optimization problem in computer science and operations research. It is a variant of optimal job scheduling. In a general job scheduling problem, we are given n jobs J1, J2, ..., Jn of varying processing times, which need to be ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monomial%20group
In mathematics, in the area of algebra studying the character theory of finite groups, an M-group or monomial group is a finite group whose complex irreducible characters are all monomial, that is, induced from characters of degree 1 . In this section only finite groups are considered. A monomial group is solvable by...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodman%20relation
Within the branch of materials science known as material failure theory, the Goodman relation (also called a Goodman diagram, a Goodman-Haigh diagram, a Haigh diagram or a Haigh-Soderberg diagram) is an equation used to quantify the interaction of mean and alternating stresses on the fatigue life of a material. The equ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prouhet%E2%80%93Tarry%E2%80%93Escott%20problem
In mathematics, the Prouhet–Tarry–Escott problem asks for two disjoint multisets A and B of n integers each, whose first k power sum symmetric polynomials are all equal. That is, the two multisets should satisfy the equations for each integer i from 1 to a given k. It has been shown that n must be strictly greater th...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idempotent%20measure
In mathematics, an idempotent measure on a metric group is a probability measure that equals its convolution with itself; in other words, an idempotent measure is an idempotent element in the topological semigroup of probability measures on the given metric group. Explicitly, given a metric group X and two probabilit...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect%20measure
In mathematics — specifically, in measure theory — a perfect measure (or, more accurately, a perfect measure space) is one that is "well-behaved" in some sense. Intuitively, a perfect measure μ is one for which, if we consider the pushforward measure on the real line R, then every measurable set is "μ-approximately a ...
