In the mathematical field of set theory, the Solovay model is a model constructed by in which all of the axioms of Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory (ZF) hold, exclusive of the axiom of choice, but in which all sets of real numbers are Lebesgue measurable. The construction relies on the existence of an inaccessible cardina...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semimodule
In mathematics, a semimodule over a semiring R is like a module over a ring except that it is only a commutative monoid rather than an abelian group. Definition Formally, a left R-semimodule consists of an additively-written commutative monoid M and a map from to M satisfying the following axioms: . A right...

A Tier 2 network is an Internet service provider which engages in the practice of peering with other networks, but which also purchases IP transit to reach some portion of the Internet. Tier 2 providers are the most common Internet service providers, as it is much easier to purchase transit from a Tier 1 network than ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic%20hypergeometric%20series
In mathematics, an elliptic hypergeometric series is a series Σcn such that the ratio cn/cn−1 is an elliptic function of n, analogous to generalized hypergeometric series where the ratio is a rational function of n, and basic hypergeometric series where the ratio is a periodic function of the complex number n. They w...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redheffer%20star%20product
In mathematics, the Redheffer star product is a binary operation on linear operators that arises in connection to solving coupled systems of linear equations. It was introduced by Raymond Redheffer in 1959, and has subsequently been widely adopted in computational methods for scattering matrices. Given two scattering m...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertically%20Generalized%20Production%20Model
The Vertically Generalized Production Model (VGPM) is a model commonly used to estimate primary production within the ocean. The VGPM was designed by Behrenfeld and Falkowski and was originally published in a 1997 article in Limnology and Oceanography. It is one of the most frequently used models for primary production...
