For example, the function is symmetrically continuous at , but not continuous. Also, symmetric differentiability implies symmetric continuity, but the...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECC%20patents
Patent-related uncertainty around elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), or ECC patents, is one of the main factors limiting its wide acceptance. For example, the OpenSSL team accepted an ECC patch only in 2005 (in OpenSSL version 0.9.8), despite the fact that it was submitted in 2002. According to Bruce Schneier as of Ma...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection%20principle
In set theory, a branch of mathematics, a reflection principle says that it is possible to find sets that, with respect to any given property, resemble the class of all sets. There are several different forms of the reflection principle depending on exactly what is meant by "resemble". Weak forms of the reflection prin...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sublunary%20sphere
In Aristotelian physics and Greek astronomy, the sublunary sphere is the region of the geocentric cosmos below the Moon, consisting of the four classical elements: earth, water, air, and fire. The sublunary sphere was the realm of changing nature. Beginning with the Moon, up to the limits of the universe, everything (...

In mathematics, the coadjoint representation of a Lie group is the dual of the adjoint representation. If denotes the Lie algebra of , the corresponding action of on , the dual space to , is called the coadjoint action. A geometrical interpretation is as the action by left-translation on the space of right-invarian...

A ketyl group in organic chemistry is an anion radical that contains a group R2C−O•. It is the product of the 1-electron reduction of a ketone. Another mesomeric structure has the radical position on carbon and the negative charge on oxygen. Ketyls can be formed as radical anions by one-electron reduction of carbo...
