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 ... |
