https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal%20family | In mathematics, with special application to complex analysis, a normal family is a pre-compact subset of the space of continuous functions. Informally, this means that the functions in the family are not widely spread out, but rather stick together in a somewhat "clustered" manner. Note that a compact family of continu... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radix%20tree | In computer science, a radix tree (also radix trie or compact prefix tree or compressed trie) is a data structure that represents a space-optimized trie (prefix tree) in which each node that is the only child is merged with its parent. The result is that the number of children of every internal node is at most the radi... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bekenstein%20bound | In physics, the Bekenstein bound (named after Jacob Bekenstein) is an upper limit on the thermodynamic entropy S, or Shannon entropy H, that can be contained within a given finite region of space which has a finite amount of energy—or conversely, the maximal amount of information required to perfectly describe a given ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real%20coordinate%20space | In mathematics, the real coordinate space of dimension , denoted or is the set of the -tuples of real numbers, that is the set of all sequences of real numbers.
Special cases are called the real line and the real coordinate plane .
With component-wise addition and scalar multiplication, it is a real vector space, ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean%20topology | In mathematics, and especially general topology, the Euclidean topology is the natural topology induced on -dimensional Euclidean space by the Euclidean metric.
Definition

Like all norms, it induces a canonical metric defined by The metric induced by... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total%20relation | In mathematics, a binary relation R ⊆ X×Y between two sets X and Y is total (or left total) if the source set X equals the domain {x : there is a y with xRy }. Conversely, R is called right total if Y equals the range {y : there is an x with xRy }.
When f: X → Y is a function, the domain of f is all of X, hence f is a... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Term%20symbol | In atomic physics, a term symbol is an abbreviated description of the total spin and orbital angular momentum quantum numbers of the electrons in a multi-electron atom. So while the word symbol suggests otherwise, it represents an actual value of a physical quantity.
For a given electron configuration of an atom, its ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranking | A ranking is a relationship between a set of items such that, for any two items, the first is either "ranked higher than", "ranked lower than", or "ranked equal to" the second. In mathematics, this is known as a weak order or total preorder of objects. It is not necessarily a total order of objects because two differen... |
