https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernstein%27s%20theorem%20on%20monotone%20functions | In real analysis, a branch of mathematics, Bernstein's theorem states that every real-valued function on the half-line that is totally monotone is a mixture of exponential functions. In one important special case the mixture is a weighted average, or expected value.
Total monotonicity (sometimes also complete monoto... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose%20%28topology%29 | In mathematics, a rose (also known as a bouquet of n circles) is a topological space obtained by gluing together a collection of circles along a single point. The circles of the rose are called petals. Roses are important in algebraic topology, where they are closely related to free groups.
Definition
A rose is a ... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudospectrum | In mathematics, the pseudospectrum of an operator is a set containing the spectrum of the operator and the numbers that are "almost" eigenvalues. Knowledge of the pseudospectrum can be particularly useful for understanding non-normal operators and their eigenfunctions.
The ε-pseudospectrum of a matrix A consists of al... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-1NF | The H-1NF (or H-1 Australian Plasma Fusion Research Facility) was a research institute of the H-1 heliac, a large stellarator device located in the ANU Research School of Physics at Canberra, Australia. It was established when the H-1 heliac was promoted to a national facility in 1996, adopting H-1NF as its facility na... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discontinuous%20linear%20map | In mathematics, linear maps form an important class of "simple" functions which preserve the algebraic structure of linear spaces and are often used as approximations to more general functions (see linear approximation). If the spaces involved are also topological spaces (that is, topological vector spaces), then it m... |
