https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyadic%20cubes
In mathematics, the dyadic cubes are a collection of cubes in Rn of different sizes or scales such that the set of cubes of each scale partition Rn and each cube in one scale may be written as a union of cubes of a smaller scale. These are frequently used in mathematics (particularly harmonic analysis) as a way of discretizing objects in order to make computations or analysis easier. For example, to study an arbitrary subset of A of Euclidean space, one may instead replace it by a union of dyadic cubes of a particular size that cover the set. One can consider this set as a pixelized version of the original set, and as smaller cubes are used one gets a clearer image of the set A. Most notable appearances of dyadic cubes include the Whitney extension theorem and the Calderón–Zygmund lemma. Dyadic cubes in Euclidean space In Euclidean space, dyadic cubes may be constructed as follows: for each integer k let Δk be the set of cubes in Rn of sidelength 2−k and corners in the set and let Δ be the union of all the Δk. The most important features of these cubes are the following: For each integer k, Δk partitions Rn. All cubes in Δk have the same sidelength, namely 2−k. If the interiors of two cubes Q and R in Δ have nonempty intersection, then either Q is contained in R or R is contained in Q. Each Q in Δk may be written as a union of 2n cubes in Δk+1 with disjoint interiors. We use the word "partition" somewhat loosely: for although their union is all of Rn, the cubes in Δk can overlap at their boundaries. These overlaps, however, have zero Lebesgue measure, and so in most applications this slightly weaker form of partition is no hindrance. It may also seem odd that larger k corresponds to smaller cubes. One can think of k as the degree of magnification. In practice, however, letting Δk be the set of cubes of sidelength 2k or 2−k is a matter of preference or convenience. The one-third trick One disadvantage to dyadic cubes in Euclidean space is that they rely too much on the specific position of the cubes. For example, for the dyadic cubes Δ described above, it is not possible to contain an arbitrary ball inside some Q in Δ (consider, for example, the unit ball centered at zero). Alternatively, there may be such a cube that contains the ball, but the sizes of the ball and cube are very different. Because of this caveat, it is sometimes useful to work with two or more collections of dyadic cubes simultaneously. Definition The following is known as the one-third trick: Let Δk be the dyadic cubes of scale k as above. Define This is the set of dyadic cubes in Δk translated by the vector α. For each such α, let Δα be the union of the Δkα over k. There is a universal constant C > 0 such that for any ball B with radius r < 1/3, there is α in {0,1/3}n and a cube Q in Δα containing B whose diameter is no more than Cr. More generally, if B is a ball with any radius r > 0, there is α in {0, 1/3, 4/3, 42/3, ...}n and a cube Q in Δα containing B who
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubling%20space
In mathematics, a metric space with metric is said to be doubling if there is some doubling constant such that for any and , it is possible to cover the ball with the union of at most balls of radius . The base-2 logarithm of is called the doubling dimension of . Euclidean spaces equipped with the usual Euclidean metric are examples of doubling spaces where the doubling constant depends on the dimension . For example, in one dimension, ; and in two dimensions, . In general, Euclidean space has doubling dimension . Assouad's embedding theorem An important question in metric space geometry is to characterize those metric spaces that can be embedded in some Euclidean space by a bi-Lipschitz function. This means that one can essentially think of the metric space as a subset of Euclidean space. Not all metric spaces may be embedded in Euclidean space. Doubling metric spaces, on the other hand, would seem like they have more of a chance, since the doubling condition says, in a way, that the metric space is not infinite dimensional. However, this is still not the case in general. The Heisenberg group with its Carnot-Caratheodory metric is an example of a doubling metric space which cannot be embedded in any Euclidean space. Assouad's Theorem states that, for a M-doubling metric space X, if we give it the metric d(x, y)ε for some 0 < ε < 1, then there is a L-bi-Lipschitz map f:X → ℝd, where d and L depend on M and ε. Doubling Measures Definition A nontrivial measure on a metric space X is said to be doubling if the measure of any ball is finite and approximately the measure of its double, or more precisely, if there is a constant C > 0 such that for all x in X and r > 0. In this case, we say μ is C-doubling. In fact, it can be proved that, necessarily, C  2. A metric measure space that supports a doubling measure is necessarily a doubling metric space, where the doubling constant depends on the constant C. Conversely, every complete doubling metric space supports a doubling measure. Examples A simple example of a doubling measure is Lebesgue measure on a Euclidean space. One can, however, have doubling measures on Euclidean space that are singular with respect to Lebesgue measure. One example on the real line is the weak limit of the following sequence of measures: One can construct another singular doubling measure μ on the interval [0, 1] as follows: for each k ≥ 0, partition the unit interval [0,1] into 3k intervals of length 3−k. Let Δ be the collection of all such intervals in [0,1] obtained for each k (these are the triadic intervals), and for each such interval I, let m(I) denote its "middle third" interval. Fix 0 < δ < 1 and let μ be the measure such that μ([0, 1]) = 1 and for each triadic interval I, μ(m(I)) = δμ(I). Then this gives a doubling measure on [0, 1] singular to Lebesgue measure. Applications The definition of a doubling measure may seem arbitrary, or purely of geometric interest. However, many results from c
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iterated%20local%20search
Iterated Local Search (ILS) is a term in applied mathematics and computer science defining a modification of local search or hill climbing methods for solving discrete optimization problems. Local search methods can get stuck in a local minimum, where no improving neighbors are available. A simple modification consists of iterating calls to the local search routine, each time starting from a different initial configuration. This is called repeated local search, and implies that the knowledge obtained during the previous local search phases is not used. Learning implies that the previous history, for example the memory about the previously found local minima, is mined to produce better and better starting points for local search. The implicit assumption is that of a clustered distribution of local minima: when minimizing a function, determining good local minima is easier when starting from a local minimum with a low value than when starting from a random point. The only caveat is to avoid confinement in a given attraction basin, so that the kick to transform a local minimizer into the starting point for the next run has to be appropriately strong, but not too strong to avoid reverting to memory-less random restarts. Iterated Local Search is based on building a sequence of locally optimal solutions by: perturbing the current local minimum; applying local search after starting from the modified solution. The perturbation strength has to be sufficient to lead the trajectory to a different attraction basin leading to a different local optimum. Perturbation Algorithm Finding the perturbation algorithm for ILS is not an easy task. The main aim is not to get stuck at the same local minimum and in order to ensure this property, the undo operation is forbidden. Despite this, a good permutation has to consider a lot of values, since there exist two kind of bad permutations: too weak: fall back to the same local minimum too strong: random restart Benchmark Perturbation The procedure consists in fixing a number of values for the perturbation such that these values are significant for the instance: on average probability and not rare. After that, on runtime it will be possible to check the benchmark plot in order to get an average idea on the instances passed. Adaptive Perturbation Since there is no function a priori that tells which one is the most suitable value for a given perturbation, the best criterion is to get it adaptive. For instance Battiti and Protasi proposed a reactive search algorithm for MAX-SAT which fits perfectly into the ILS framework. They perform a "directed" perturbation scheme which is implemented by a tabu search algorithm and after each perturbation they apply a standard local descent algorithm. Another way of adapting the perturbation is to change deterministically its strength during the search. Optimizing Perturbation Another procedure is to optimize a sub-part of the problem while keeping the not-undo property ac
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimal%20axioms%20for%20Boolean%20algebra
In mathematical logic, minimal axioms for Boolean algebra are assumptions which are equivalent to the axioms of Boolean algebra (or propositional calculus), chosen to be as short as possible. For example, an axiom with six NAND operations and three variables is equivalent to Boolean algebra: where the vertical bar represents the NAND logical operation (also known as the Sheffer stroke). It is one of 25 candidate axioms for this property identified by Stephen Wolfram, by enumerating the Sheffer identities of length less or equal to 15 elements (excluding mirror images) that have no noncommutative models with four or fewer variables, and was first proven equivalent by William McCune, Branden Fitelson, and Larry Wos. MathWorld, a site associated with Wolfram, has named the axiom the "Wolfram axiom". McCune et al. also found a longer single axiom for Boolean algebra based on disjunction and negation. In 1933, Edward Vermilye Huntington identified the axiom as being equivalent to Boolean algebra, when combined with the commutativity of the OR operation, , and the assumption of associativity, . Herbert Robbins conjectured that Huntington's axiom could be replaced by which requires one fewer use of the logical negation operator . Neither Robbins nor Huntington could prove this conjecture; nor could Alfred Tarski, who took considerable interest in it later. The conjecture was eventually proved in 1996 with the aid of theorem-proving software. This proof established that the Robbins axiom, together with associativity and commutativity, form a 3-basis for Boolean algebra. The existence of a 2-basis was established in 1967 by Carew Arthur Meredith: The following year, Meredith found a 2-basis in terms of the Sheffer stroke: In 1973, Padmanabhan and Quackenbush demonstrated a method that, in principle, would yield a 1-basis for Boolean algebra. Applying this method in a straightforward manner yielded "axioms of enormous length", thereby prompting the question of how shorter axioms might be found. This search yielded the 1-basis in terms of the Sheffer stroke given above, as well as the 1-basis which is written in terms of OR and NOT.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kig%20%28software%29
KIG is free and open-source interactive geometry software, which is part of the KDE Education Project. It has some facilities for scripting in Python, as well as the creating macros from existing constructions. Import and export Kig can import files made by DrGeo and Cabri Geometry as well as its own file format, which is XML-encoded. Kig can export figures in LaTeX format and as SVG (vector graphics) files. Objects Kig can handle any classical object of the dynamic geometry, but also: The center of curvature and osculating circle of a curve; The dilation, generic affinity, inversion, projective application, homography and harmonic homology; The hyperbola with given asymptotes; The Bézier curves (2nd and 3rd degree); The polar line of a point and pole of a line with respect to a conic section; The asymptotes of a hyperbola; The cubic curve through 9 points; The cubic curve with a double point through 6 points; The cubic curve with a cusp through 4 points. Scripting language Inside the figure Another object is available inside Kig, it is a Python language script. It can accept Kig objects as variables, and always return one object. For example, if there is already a numeric object inside the figure, for example 3, the following Python object can yield its square (9): def square(arg1): return DoubleObject(arg1.value() ** 2) The variables are always called arg1, arg2 etc. in the order they are clicked upon. Here there is only one variable arg1 and its numerical value is obtained with arg1.value(). If no one wants to implement the square of a complex number (represented by a point in the Argand diagram), the object which has to be selected at the creation of the script must necessarily be a point, and the script is def csquare(arg1): x = arg1.coordinate().x y = arg1.coordinate().y z = x * x - y * y y = 2 * x * y x = z return Point(Coordinate(x, y)) The abscissa of the point representing the square of the complex number is as can be seen by expanding , Coordinate(x,y) creates a Python list made of the two coordinates of the new point. And Point creates the point which coordinates are precisely given by this list. But a Python object inside a figure can only create one object and for more complex figures one has to build the figure with a script: Figure created by a script Kig comes up with a little program (written in Python) called pykig.py which can load a Python script, e.g. MyScript.py build a Kig figure, described by this script open Kig and display the figure. For example, here is how a Sierpinski triangle can be made (as an IFS) with pykig: from random import * kigdocument.hideobjects() A = Point(0, 2) A.show() B = Point(-2, -1) B.show() C = Point(2, -1) C.show() M = Point(.1, .1) for i in range(1, 1000): d = randrange(3) if d == 0: s = Segment(A, M) M = s.midpoint() if d == 1: s = Segment(B, M) M = s.midpoint() if d == 2: s = Segme

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic%20algebra
In mathematical genetics, a genetic algebra is a (possibly non-associative) algebra used to model inheritance in genetics. Some variations of these algebras are called train algebras, special train algebras, gametic algebras, Bernstein algebras, copular algebras, zygotic algebras, and baric algebras (also called weighted algebra). The study of these algebras was started by . In applications to genetics, these algebras often have a basis corresponding to the genetically different gametes, and the structure constant of the algebra encode the probabilities of producing offspring of various types. The laws of inheritance are then encoded as algebraic properties of the algebra. For surveys of genetic algebras see , and . Baric algebras Baric algebras (or weighted algebras) were introduced by . A baric algebra over a field K is a possibly non-associative algebra over K together with a homomorphism w, called the weight, from the algebra to K. Bernstein algebras A Bernstein algebra, based on the work of on the Hardy–Weinberg law in genetics, is a (possibly non-associative) baric algebra B over a field K with a weight homomorphism w from B to K satisfying . Every such algebra has idempotents e of the form with . The Peirce decomposition of B corresponding to e is where and . Although these subspaces depend on e, their dimensions are invariant and constitute the type of B. An exceptional Bernstein algebra is one with . Copular algebras Copular algebras were introduced by Evolution algebras An evolution algebra over a field is an algebra with a basis on which multiplication is defined by the product of distinct basis terms being zero and the square of each basis element being a linear form in basis elements. A real evolution algebra is one defined over the reals: it is non-negative if the structure constants in the linear form are all non-negative. An evolution algebra is necessarily commutative and flexible but not necessarily associative or power-associative. Gametic algebras A gametic algebra is a finite-dimensional real algebra for which all structure constants lie between 0 and 1. Genetic algebras Genetic algebras were introduced by who showed that special train algebras are genetic algebras and genetic algebras are train algebras. Special train algebras Special train algebras were introduced by as special cases of baric algebras. A special train algebra is a baric algebra in which the kernel N of the weight function is nilpotent and the principal powers of N are ideals. showed that special train algebras are train algebras.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivor%20Etherington
Ivor Malcolm Haddon Etherington FRSE (8 February 1908 -1 January 1994) was a mathematician who worked initially on general relativity, and later on genetics and introduced genetic algebras. Life He was born in Lewisham in London the son of Annie Margaret and her husband Bruce Etherington, both of whom were Baptist missionaries normally based in Ceylon. His father had died in Ceylon, leaving his mother and two older siblings to return to Britain alone. His mother remarried in 1913 to Edwin Duncombe de Russet, a Baptist minister, but Ivor retained his original name. In 1921 the growing family moved out of London to Thorpe Bay on the Essex coast, where his father then founded the Thorpe Bay School for Boys. In 1922 Ivor was sent back to London to be educated at Mill Hill School. He was later educated at the University of Oxford and continued as a postgraduate at the University of Edinburgh where he received his doctorate. He later became a professor of mathematics at the same university. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1934. His proposers were Sir Edmund Whittaker, Herbert Westren Turnbull, Edward Thomas Copson and David Gibb. He won the Society's Keith Medal for 1955-57. On his retirement in 1974, he moved with his wife to Easdale on the Scottish west coast, where the family had always had a holiday home. He died on 1 January 1994. Family He married Elizabeth (Betty) Goulding in 1934. They had two daughters, Donia and Judy. When Betty died in 1982, Donia came to care for her father. During World War II he and his wife aided 32 German refugees, giving many shelter in their own home.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peirce%20decomposition
In ring theory, a Peirce decomposition is a decomposition of an algebra as a sum of eigenspaces of commuting idempotent elements. The Peirce decomposition for associative algebras was introduced by . A similar but more complicated Peirce decomposition for Jordan algebras was introduced by . Peirce decomposition for associative algebras If e is an idempotent (e2 = e) in an associative algebra A, then the two-sided Peirce decomposition writes A as the direct sum of eAe, eA(1 − e), (1 − e)Ae, and (1 − e)A(1 − e). There are also left and right Peirce decompositions, where the left decomposition writes A as the direct sum of eA and (1 − e)A, and the right one writes A as the direct sum of Ae and A(1 − e). More generally, if e1, ..., en are mutually orthogonal idempotents with sum 1, then A is the direct sum of the spaces eiAej for 1 ≤ i, j ≤ n. Blocks An idempotent of a ring is called central if it commutes with all elements of the ring. Two idempotents e, f are called orthogonal if ef = fe = 0. An idempotent is called primitive if it is nonzero and cannot be written as the sum of two orthogonal nonzero idempotents. An idempotent e is called a block or centrally primitive if it is nonzero and central and cannot be written as the sum of two orthogonal nonzero central idempotents. In this case the ideal eR is also sometimes called a block. If the identity 1 of a ring R can be written as the sum 1 = e1 + ... + en of orthogonal nonzero centrally primitive idempotents, then these idempotents are unique up to order and are called the blocks or the ring R. In this case the ring R can be written as a direct sum R = e1R + ... + enR of indecomposable rings, which are sometimes also called the blocks of R.

In discrete geometry, the Erdős distinct distances problem states that every set of points in the plane has a nearly-linear number of distinct distances. It was posed by Paul Erdős in 1946 and almost proven by Larry Guth and Nets Katz in 2015. The conjecture In what follows let denote the minimal number of distinct distances between points in the plane, or equivalently the smallest possible cardinality of their distance set. In his 1946 paper, Erdős proved the estimates for some constant . The lower bound was given by an easy argument. The upper bound is given by a square grid. For such a grid, there are numbers below n which are sums of two squares, expressed in big O notation; see Landau–Ramanujan constant. Erdős conjectured that the upper bound was closer to the true value of g(n), and specifically that (using big Omega notation) holds for every . Partial results Paul Erdős' 1946 lower bound of was successively improved to: by Leo Moser in 1952, by Fan Chung in 1984, by Fan Chung, Endre Szemerédi, and William T. Trotter in 1992, by László A. Székely in 1993, by József Solymosi and Csaba D. Tóth in 2001, by Gábor Tardos in 2003, by Nets Katz and Gábor Tardos in 2004, by Larry Guth and Nets Katz in 2015. Higher dimensions Erdős also considered the higher-dimensional variant of the problem: for let denote the minimal possible number of distinct distances among points in -dimensional Euclidean space. He proved that and and conjectured that the upper bound is in fact sharp, i.e., . József Solymosi and Van H. Vu obtained the lower bound in 2008.

Oxford United is an English professional association football club based in Oxford, Oxfordshire. They play in League One, the third level of the English football league system, as of the 2019–20 season. The club was formed in 1893 as Headington United, before changing its name (to Oxford United) in 1960, and has played home matches at two stadiums throughout its history, the Manor Ground until 2001, and the Kassam Stadium since. In 1986 they won their only major trophy, the League Cup. The club joined the Oxfordshire Senior League in 1921, before joining the Spartan League in 1947. Two years later the club moved to the Southern League, before being elected to the Football League in 1962. Oxford spent three years in the First Division between August 1985 and May 1988. At the end of the 2005–06 season, after 44 years in the League, United were relegated to the Football Conference. They returned to the League after winning the Conference National Play-off Final in 2010. The record for most games played for the club is held by Ron Atkinson, who made 560 appearances between 1959 and 1971. John Shuker holds the record for the most appearances since they joined the Football League. Graham Atkinson is the club's record goalscorer, scoring 107 goals including 97 in the league. Jim Magilton holds the record for the most international caps gained as an Oxford player, having made 18 appearances for Northern Ireland. The highest transfer fee ever paid by the club is the £470,000 paid to Aberdeen for Dean Windass in 1998, though it has been reported that the undisclosed fee paid for Marvin Johnson in 2016 exceeded this amount, and the highest fee received is the estimated £3,000,000 paid by Leeds United for Kemar Roofe in 2016. The highest attendance recorded at the Manor Ground was 22,750 for the visit of Preston North End in the FA Cup, while the highest attendance at the Kassam is 12,243 against Leyton Orient. Honours and achievements Oxford United's only major honour in English football is the League Cup, which the club won in the 1985–86 season, defeating Queen's Park Rangers in the final 3–0. The club has also won the Third Division championship twice and the Second Division championship once. The latter Third Division, Second Division and League Cup victories all occurred within the space of two years. United also achieved promotion from the Fourth Division after the 1964–65 season. Oxford's highest top-flight finish is eighteenth, which was achieved twice in two years, starting in 1986. The most recent promotion occurred after the 2009–10 season, when they beat York City 3–1 in the Conference National play-off final. Oxford's best performance in the FA Cup involved reaching the quarter-finals against Preston North End in the 1963–64 season. In doing so, they became the first team to reach that stage from the Fourth Division. Before the club were admitted to the Football League in 1962, they won the Southern Football League championship on three o

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erd%C5%91s%E2%80%93Gallai%20theorem
The Erdős–Gallai theorem is a result in graph theory, a branch of combinatorial mathematics. It provides one of two known approaches to solving the graph realization problem, i.e. it gives a necessary and sufficient condition for a finite sequence of natural numbers to be the degree sequence of a simple graph. A sequence obeying these conditions is called "graphic". The theorem was published in 1960 by Paul Erdős and Tibor Gallai, after whom it is named. Statement A sequence of non-negative integers can be represented as the degree sequence of a finite simple graph on n vertices if and only if is even and holds for every in . Proofs It is not difficult to show that the conditions of the Erdős–Gallai theorem are necessary for a sequence of numbers to be graphic. The requirement that the sum of the degrees be even is the handshaking lemma, already used by Euler in his 1736 paper on the bridges of Königsberg. The inequality between the sum of the largest degrees and the sum of the remaining degrees can be established by double counting: the left side gives the numbers of edge-vertex adjacencies among the highest-degree vertices, each such adjacency must either be on an edge with one or two high-degree endpoints, the term on the right gives the maximum possible number of edge-vertex adjacencies in which both endpoints have high degree, and the remaining term on the right upper bounds the number of edges that have exactly one high degree endpoint. Thus, the more difficult part of the proof is to show that, for any sequence of numbers obeying these conditions, there exists a graph for which it is the degree sequence. The original proof of was long and involved. cites a shorter proof by Claude Berge, based on ideas of network flow. Choudum instead provides a proof by mathematical induction on the sum of the degrees: he lets be the first index of a number in the sequence for which (or the penultimate number if all are equal), uses a case analysis to show that the sequence formed by subtracting one from and from the last number in the sequence (and removing the last number if this subtraction causes it to become zero) is again graphic, and forms a graph representing the original sequence by adding an edge between the two positions from which one was subtracted. consider a sequence of "subrealizations", graphs whose degrees are upper bounded by the given degree sequence. They show that, if G is a subrealization, and i is the smallest index of a vertex in G whose degree is not equal to di, then G may be modified in a way that produces another subrealization, increasing the degree of vertex i without changing the degrees of the earlier vertices in the sequence. Repeated steps of this kind must eventually reach a realization of the given sequence, proving the theorem. Relation to integer partitions describe close connections between the Erdős–Gallai theorem and the theory of integer partitions. Let ; then the sorted integer sequences sum

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasisymmetric%20map
In mathematics, a quasisymmetric homeomorphism between metric spaces is a map that generalizes bi-Lipschitz maps. While bi-Lipschitz maps shrink or expand the diameter of a set by no more than a multiplicative factor, quasisymmetric maps satisfy the weaker geometric property that they preserve the relative sizes of sets: if two sets A and B have diameters t and are no more than distance t apart, then the ratio of their sizes changes by no more than a multiplicative constant. These maps are also related to quasiconformal maps, since in many circumstances they are in fact equivalent. Definition Let (X, dX) and (Y, dY) be two metric spaces. A homeomorphism f:X → Y is said to be η-quasisymmetric if there is an increasing function η : [0, ∞) → [0, ∞) such that for any triple x, y, z of distinct points in X, we have Basic properties Inverses are quasisymmetric If f : X → Y is an invertible η-quasisymmetric map as above, then its inverse map is -quasisymmetric, where Quasisymmetric maps preserve relative sizes of sets If and are subsets of and is a subset of , then Examples Weakly quasisymmetric maps A map f:X→Y is said to be H-weakly-quasisymmetric for some if for all triples of distinct points in , then Not all weakly quasisymmetric maps are quasisymmetric. However, if is connected and and are doubling, then all weakly quasisymmetric maps are quasisymmetric. The appeal of this result is that proving weak-quasisymmetry is much easier than proving quasisymmetry directly, and in many natural settings the two notions are equivalent. δ-monotone maps A monotone map f:H → H on a Hilbert space H is δ-monotone if for all x and y in H, To grasp what this condition means geometrically, suppose f(0) = 0 and consider the above estimate when y = 0. Then it implies that the angle between the vector x and its image f(x) stays between 0 and arccos δ < π/2. These maps are quasisymmetric, although they are a much narrower subclass of quasisymmetric maps. For example, while a general quasisymmetric map in the complex plane could map the real line to a set of Hausdorff dimension strictly greater than one, a δ-monotone will always map the real line to a rotated graph of a Lipschitz function L:ℝ → ℝ. Doubling measures The real line Quasisymmetric homeomorphisms of the real line to itself can be characterized in terms of their derivatives. An increasing homeomorphism f:ℝ → ℝ is quasisymmetric if and only if there is a constant C > 0 and a doubling measure μ on the real line such that Euclidean space An analogous result holds in Euclidean space. Suppose C = 0 and we rewrite the above equation for f as Writing it this way, we can attempt to define a map using this same integral, but instead integrate (what is now a vector valued integrand) over ℝn: if μ is a doubling measure on ℝn and then the map is quasisymmetric (in fact, it is δ-monotone for some δ depending on the measure μ). Quasisymmetry and quasiconformality in Euclidean space Let
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring%20of%20mixed%20characteristic
In commutative algebra, a ring of mixed characteristic is a commutative ring having characteristic zero and having an ideal such that has positive characteristic. Examples The integers have characteristic zero, but for any prime number , is a finite field with elements and hence has characteristic . The ring of integers of any number field is of mixed characteristic Fix a prime p and localize the integers at the prime ideal (p). The resulting ring Z(p) has characteristic zero. It has a unique maximal ideal pZ(p), and the quotient Z(p)/pZ(p) is a finite field with p elements. In contrast to the previous example, the only possible characteristics for rings of the form are zero (when I is the zero ideal) and powers of p (when I is any other non-unit ideal); it is not possible to have a quotient of any other characteristic. If is a non-zero prime ideal of the ring of integers of a number field , then the localization of at is likewise of mixed characteristic. The p-adic integers Zp for any prime p are a ring of characteristic zero. However, they have an ideal generated by the image of the prime number p under the canonical map . The quotient Zp/pZp is again the finite field of p elements. Zp is an example of a complete discrete valuation ring of mixed characteristic. The integers, the ring of integers of any number field, and any localization or completion of one of these rings is a characteristic zero Dedekind domain. References Commutative algebra

If J is a Jordan algebra, the Kantor–Koecher–Tits construction puts a Lie algebra structure on J + J + Inner(J), the sum of 2 copies of J and the Lie algebra of inner derivations of J. When applied to a 27-dimensional exceptional Jordan algebra it gives a Lie algebra of type E7 of dimension 133.

In mathematics, and more precisely in analysis, the Wallis integrals constitute a family of integrals introduced by John Wallis. Definition, basic properties The Wallis integrals are the terms of the sequence defined by or equivalently, The first few terms of this sequence are: The sequence is decreasing and has positive terms. In fact, for all because it is an integral of a non-negative continuous function which is not identically zero; again because the last integral is of a non-negative continuous function. Since the sequence is decreasing and bounded below by 0, it converges to a non-negative limit. Indeed, the limit is zero (see below). Recurrence relation By means of integration by parts, a reduction formula can be obtained. Using the identity , we have for all , Integrating the second integral by parts, with: , whose anti-derivative is , whose derivative is we have: Substituting this result into equation (1) gives and thus for all This is a recurrence relation giving in terms of . This, together with the values of and give us two sets of formulae for the terms in the sequence , depending on whether is odd or even: Another relation to evaluate the Wallis' integrals Wallis's integrals can be evaluated by using Euler integrals: Euler integral of the first kind: the Beta function: for Euler integral of the second kind: the Gamma function: for . If we make the following substitution inside the Beta function: we obtain: so this gives us the following relation to evaluate the Wallis integrals: So, for odd , writing , we have: whereas for even , writing and knowing that , we get : Equivalence From the recurrence formula above , we can deduce that (equivalence of two sequences). Indeed, for all : (since the sequence is decreasing) (since ) (by equation ). By the sandwich theorem, we conclude that , and hence . By examining , one obtains the following equivalence: (and consequently ). Deducing Stirling's formula Suppose that we have the following equivalence (known as Stirling's formula): for some constant that we wish to determine. From above, we have (equation (3)) Expanding and using the formula above for the factorials, we get From (3) and (4), we obtain by transitivity: Solving for gives In other words, Deducing the Double Factorial Ratio Similarly, from above, we have: Expanding and using the formula above for double factorials, we get: Simplifying, we obtain: or Evaluating the Gaussian Integral The Gaussian integral can be evaluated through the use of Wallis' integrals. We first prove the following inequalities: In fact, letting , the first inequality (in which ) is equivalent to ; whereas the second inequality reduces to , which becomes .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murray%20Gerstenhaber
Murray Gerstenhaber (born June 5, 1927) is an American mathematician and professor of mathematics at the University of Pennsylvania, best known for his contributions to theoretical physics with his discovery of Gerstenhaber algebra. He is also a lawyer and a lecturer in law at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Early life and education Gerstenhaber was born in Brooklyn, New York, to Pauline (née Rosenzweig; who was born in Romania; died in 1978) and Joseph Gerstenhaber (who was born in 1892 in Romania; died in 1975). His father was trained as a jeweler, "but being unable to find work in this line he [took] employment in a factory making airplane precision instruments”. As to his mother, in 2015 he noted: "For someone born into a minority family without means, I have been exceedingly lucky. The problems faced by talented but disadvantaged children today are preventing many who could be important contributors to the sciences, arts, and society in general, from achieving their potential. They don’t all have mothers like mine, who fought to find a path to education for her child. We have to seek them out but are not doing enough to find them, bring them out of isolation, and give them the opportunities I was so fortunate to have enjoyed." He was a child prodigy who was profiled in Leta Hollingworth's book Children Above 180 IQ (1942). In this book, Gerstenhaber was dubbed "Child L," and his prodigious abilities and personality traits were described in great detail. At age 9 years 5 months, a Stanford-Binet test showed him to have a mental age of between 17 and 18 and an IQ between 195 and 198. A second revised Stanford-Binet given a year later found him to have a mental age of 19 years 11 months and an IQ of 199+. He attended the now-defunct Speyer School, a school for rapid learners in New York City. Many years later, his daughter-in-law co-founded Speyer Legacy School, naming the new school after the original. After graduating from Speyer School, Gerstenhaber entered the Bronx High School of Science in 1940. From 1945 to 1947 he served in the infantry in the United States Army as a corporal assigned to the Office of Military Government for Germany. Gerstenhaber finished his B.S. in mathematics at Yale University (1948). At Yale, he participated in the William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition and was on the team representing Yale University (along with Murray Gell-Mann and Henry O. Pollak) that won the second prize in 1947; each of them received a monetary prize of $30 ($ in current dollar terms). His 1948 participation in the competition earned him a Top 10 ranking. He earned an M.A. and a Ph.D. (1951) in mathematics from the University of Chicago, under the instruction of Abraham Adrian Albert. Gerstenhaber's dissertation was entitled "Rings of Derivations." Gerstenhaber earned a J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania Law School in 1973, and was admitted to the Pennsylvania bar in 1974. Career Gerstenhaber was an assistant

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picard%E2%80%93Vessiot%20theory
In differential algebra, Picard–Vessiot theory is the study of the differential field extension generated by the solutions of a linear differential equation, using the differential Galois group of the field extension. A major goal is to describe when the differential equation can be solved by quadratures in terms of properties of the differential Galois group. The theory was initiated by Émile Picard and Ernest Vessiot from about 1883 to 1904. and give detailed accounts of Picard–Vessiot theory. History The history of Picard–Vessiot theory is discussed by . Picard–Vessiot theory was developed by Picard between 1883 and 1898 and by Vessiot from 1892 to 1904 (summarized in and ). The main result of their theory says very roughly that a linear differential equation can be solved by quadratures if and only if its differential Galois group is connected and solvable. Unfortunately it is hard to tell exactly what they proved as the concept of being "solvable by quadratures" is not defined precisely or used consistently in their papers. gave precise definitions of the necessary concepts and proved a rigorous version of this theorem. extended Picard–Vessiot theory to partial differential fields (with several commuting derivations). described an algorithm for deciding whether second order homogeneous linear equations can be solved by quadratures, known as Kovacic's algorithm. Picard–Vessiot extensions and rings An extension F ⊆ K of differential fields is called a Picard–Vessiot extension if all constants are in F and K can be generated by adjoining the solutions of a homogeneous linear ordinary differential polynomial. A Picard–Vessiot ring R over the differential field F is a differential ring over F that is simple (no differential ideals other than 0 and R) and generated as a k-algebra by the coefficients of A and 1/det(A), where A is an invertible matrix over F such that B = /A has coefficients in F. (So A is a fundamental matrix for the differential equation  = By.) Liouvillian extensions An extension F ⊆ K of differential fields is called Liouvillian if all constants are in F, and K can be generated by adjoining a finite number of integrals, exponential of integrals, and algebraic functions. Here, an integral of an element a is defined to be any solution of  = a, and an exponential of an integral of a is defined to be any solution of  = ay. A Picard–Vessiot extension is Liouvillian if and only if the identity component of its differential Galois group is solvable (, ). More precisely, extensions by algebraic functions correspond to finite differential Galois groups, extensions by integrals correspond to subquotients of the differential Galois group that are 1-dimensional and unipotent, and extensions by exponentials of integrals correspond to subquotients of the differential Galois group that are 1-dimensional and reductive (tori).

The Oxford University Invariant Society, or 'The Invariants', is a university society open to members of the University of Oxford, dedicated to promotion of interest in mathematics. The society regularly hosts talks from professional mathematicians on topics both technical and more popular, from the mathematics of juggling to the history of mathematics. Many prominent British mathematicians were members of the society during their time at Oxford. History The Society was founded in 1936 by J. H. C. Whitehead together with two of his students at Balliol College, Graham Higman and Jack de Wet. The name of the society was chosen at random by Higman from the titles of the books on Whitehead's shelf; in this case, Oswald Veblen's Invariants of Quadratic Differential Forms. The opening lecture was given by G. H. Hardy in Hilary Term 1936, with the title 'Round Numbers'. Though many members joined the armed forces during the war, meetings continued, including lectures by Douglas Hartree and Max Newman, as well as debates - 'Is Mathematics an end in itself?' - and mathematical films. The society has hosted hundreds of prominent mathematicians, including lectures by Benoit Mandelbrot, Sir Roger Penrose, and Simon Singh. Since 1961, the Society has published a magazine entitled The Invariant.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jigu%20Suanjing
Jigu suanjing (, Continuation of Ancient Mathematics) was the work of early Tang dynasty calendarist and mathematician Wang Xiaotong, written some time before the year 626, when he presented his work to the Emperor. Jigu Suanjing was included as one of the requisite texts for Imperial examination; the amount of time required for the study of Jigu Suanjing was three years, the same as for The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art and Haidao Suanjing. The book began with presentations to the Emperor, followed by a pursuit problem similar to the one in Jiu Zhang Suan shu, followed by thirteen three-dimensional geometry problems based mostly on engineering construction of astronomic observation tower, dike, barn, excavation of a canal bed etc., and six problems in right angled triangle plane geometry. Apart from the first problem which was solved by arithmetic, the problems deal with the solution of cubic equations, the first known Chinese work to deal with complete cubic equations, as such, it played important roles in the development for solution of high order polynomial equations in the history of Chinese mathematics. Before his time, The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art developed algorithm of solving simple cubic equation numerically, often referred to as the "finding the root method". Wang Xiaotong used an algebraic method to solve three-dimensional geometry problems, and his work is a major advance in Algebra in the history of Chinese mathematics. Each problem in Jigu Suanjing follows the same format, the question part begins with "suppose we have such and such,... question:...how many are there?"; followed by "answer:", with concrete numbers; then followed by "The algorithm says:...", in which Wang Xiaotong detailed the reasoning and procedure for the construction of equations, with a terse description of the method of solution. The emphasis of the book is on how to solve engineering problems by construction of mathematical equations from geometric properties of the relevant problem. In Jigu Suanjin, Wang established and solved 25 cubic equations, 23 of them from problem 2 to problem 18 have the form The remaining two problems 19, and 20 each has a double quadratic equation: Problem 3, two cubic equations: ; Problem 4 two cubic equations: Problem 5 Problem 7: Problem 8: Problem 15: 。 Problem 17: Problem 20:"Suppose the long side of a right angle triangle equals to sixteen and a half, the square of the product of the short side and the hypothenuse equals to one hundred sixty four and 14 parts of 25, question, what is the length of the short side ?" Answer: "the length of the short side is eight and four fifth." Algorithm:"Let the square of the square of product as 'shi' (the constant term), and let the square of the long side of right angle triangle be the 'fa' (the coefficient of the y term). Solve by 'finding the root method', then find the square root again." The algorithm is about set

Peter Björn Nemenyi (April 14, 1927 – May 20, 2002) was an American mathematician, who worked in statistics and probability theory. He taught mathematics at a number of American colleges and universities, including Hunter College, Tougaloo College, Oberlin College, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Virginia State College and the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Several statistical tests, for example the Nemenyi test, bear his name. He was also a prominent civil-rights activist. He was the son of Paul Nemenyi an eminent fluid and engineering mechanics expert of the twentieth century. His mother was Aranka Heller, poet and scholar, daughter of Bernat Heller, a renowned 'Aggadist, Islamic scholar and folklorist. Life Peter Nemenyi was born in Berlin, to which his parents had fled after anti-Jewish laws had been enacted in Hungary. His parents separated, and he was brought up in a socialist boarding school operated by the ISK, a German socialist party founded by Leonard Nelson. After the rise of Nazism, the party was banned in Germany and its property was seized. The school frequently relocated to different European countries, as Nazi strength grew. During the Second World War the adults in the party were interned on the Isle of Man and Nemenyi lived in a number of foster homes and youth homes. After the war, Peter moved to the United States to live with his father in Hanford, Washington. He was drafted almost immediately and served near Trieste. After military service, he attended Black Mountain College under the G.I. Bill. He received his Ph.D. from Princeton University with a thesis on Distribution-Free Multiple Comparisons advised by John Wilder Tukey. Several statistical tests, most notably the Nemenyi test bear his name. Peter Nemenyi is also known as a civil-rights activist in the Deep South. He also worked for the revolutionary government in Nicaragua, which affected his health. He was an active member of the Congress of Racial Equality in New York, working in Mississippi in 1962, in Jackson, and 1964-5 in Laurel. Nemenyi's father, Paul Nemenyi, was probably the father of 1972 World Chess Champion Bobby Fischer. Peter Nemenyi was aware of this, and made efforts to care for the young Fischer after Paul Nemenyi died in 1952.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skolem%E2%80%93Mahler%E2%80%93Lech%20theorem
In additive and algebraic number theory, the Skolem–Mahler–Lech theorem states that if a sequence of numbers satisfies a linear difference equation, then with finitely many exceptions the positions at which the sequence is zero form a regularly repeating pattern. This result is named after Thoralf Skolem (who proved the theorem for sequences of rational numbers), Kurt Mahler (who proved it for sequences of algebraic numbers), and Christer Lech (who proved it for sequences whose elements belong to any field of characteristic 0). Its known proofs use p-adic analysis and are non-constructive. Theorem statement Let be a sequence of complex numbers satisfying for all , where are complex number constants (i.e., a constant-recursive sequence of order ). Then the set of zeros is equal to the union of a finite set and finitely many arithmetic progressions. If we have (excluding sequences such as 1, 0, 0, 0, ...), then the set of zeros in fact equal to the union of a finite set and finitely many full arithmetic progressions, where an infinite arithmetic progression is full if there exist integers a and b such that the progression consists of all positive integers equal to b modulo a. Example Consider the sequence that alternates between zeros and the Fibonacci numbers. This sequence can be generated by the linear recurrence relation (a modified form of the Fibonacci recurrence), starting from the base cases F(1) = F(2) = F(4) = 0 and F(3) = 1. For this sequence, F(i) = 0 if and only if i is either one or even. Thus, the positions at which the sequence is zero can be partitioned into a finite set (the singleton set {1}) and a full arithmetic progression (the positive even numbers). In this example, only one arithmetic progression was needed, but other recurrence sequences may have zeros at positions forming multiple arithmetic progressions. Related results The Skolem problem is the problem of determining whether a given recurrence sequence has a zero. There exist an algorithm to test whether there are infinitely many zeros, and if so to find the decomposition of these zeros into periodic sets guaranteed to exist by the Skolem–Mahler–Lech theorem. However, it is unknown whether there exists an algorithm to determine whether a recurrence sequence has any non-periodic zeros. References , cited in Lech 1953. , cited in Lech 1953. . . .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tube%20domain
In mathematics, a tube domain is a generalization of the notion of a vertical strip (or half-plane) in the complex plane to several complex variables. A strip can be thought of as the collection of complex numbers whose real part lie in a given subset of the real line and whose imaginary part is unconstrained; likewise, a tube is the set of complex vectors whose real part is in some given collection of real vectors, and whose imaginary part is unconstrained. Tube domains are domains of the Laplace transform of a function of several real variables (see multidimensional Laplace transform). Hardy spaces on tubes can be defined in a manner in which a version of the Paley–Wiener theorem from one variable continues to hold, and characterizes the elements of Hardy spaces as the Laplace transforms of functions with appropriate integrability properties. Tubes over convex sets are domains of holomorphy. The Hardy spaces on tubes over convex cones have an especially rich structure, so that precise results are known concerning the boundary values of Hp functions. In mathematical physics, the future tube is the tube domain associated to the interior of the past null cone in Minkowski space, and has applications in relativity theory and quantum gravity. Certain tubes over cones support a Bergman metric in terms of which they become bounded symmetric domains. One of these is the Siegel half-space which is fundamental in arithmetic. Definition Let Rn denote real coordinate space of dimension n and Cn denote complex coordinate space. Then any element of Cn can be decomposed into real and imaginary parts: Let A be an open subset of Rn. The tube over A, denoted TA, is the subset of Cn consisting of all elements whose real parts lie in A: Tubes as domains of holomorphy Suppose that A is a connected open set. Then any complex-valued function that is holomorphic in a tube TA can be extended uniquely to a holomorphic function on the convex hull of the tube , which is also a tube, and in fact Since any convex open set is a domain of holomorphy (holomorphically convex), a convex tube is also a domain of holomorphy. So the holomorphic envelope of any tube is equal to its convex hull. Hardy spaces Let A be an open set in Rn. The Hardy space H p(TA) is the set of all holomorphic functions F in TA such that for all x in A. In the special case of p = 2, functions in H2(TA) can be characterized as follows. Let ƒ be a complex-valued function on Rn satisfying The Fourier–Laplace transform of ƒ is defined by Then F is well-defined and belongs to H2(TA). Conversely, every element of H2(TA) has this form. A corollary of this characterization is that H2(TA) contains a nonzero function if and only if A contains no straight line. Tubes over cones Let A be an open convex cone in Rn. This means that A is an open convex set such that, whenever x lies in A, so does the entire ray from the origin to x. Symbolically, If A is a cone, then the elements of H2(TA) ha

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nearly%20K%C3%A4hler%20manifold
In mathematics, a nearly Kähler manifold is an almost Hermitian manifold , with almost complex structure , such that the (2,1)-tensor is skew-symmetric. So, for every vector field on . In particular, a Kähler manifold is nearly Kähler. The converse is not true. For example, the nearly Kähler six-sphere is an example of a nearly Kähler manifold that is not Kähler. The familiar almost complex structure on the six-sphere is not induced by a complex atlas on . Usually, non Kählerian nearly Kähler manifolds are called "strict nearly Kähler manifolds". Nearly Kähler manifolds, also known as almost Tachibana manifolds, were studied by Shun-ichi Tachibana in 1959 and then by Alfred Gray from 1970 on. For example, it was proved that any 6-dimensional strict nearly Kähler manifold is an Einstein manifold and has vanishing first Chern class (in particular, this implies spin). In the 1980s, strict nearly Kähler manifolds obtained a lot of consideration because of their relation to Killing spinors: Thomas Friedrich and Ralf Grunewald showed that a 6-dimensional Riemannian manifold admits a Riemannian Killing spinor if and only if it is nearly Kähler. This was later given a more fundamental explanation by Christian Bär, who pointed out that these are exactly the 6-manifolds for which the corresponding 7-dimensional Riemannian cone has holonomy G2. The only compact simply connected 6-manifolds known to admit strict nearly Kähler metrics are , and . Each of these admits such a unique nearly Kähler metric that is also homogeneous, and these examples are in fact the only compact homogeneous strictly nearly Kähler 6-manifolds. However, Foscolo and Haskins recently showed that and also admit strict nearly Kähler metrics that are not homogeneous. Bär's observation about the holonomy of Riemannian cones might seem to indicate that the nearly-Kähler condition is most natural and interesting in dimension 6. This actually borne out by a theorem of Nagy, who proved that any strict, complete nearly Kähler manifold is locally a Riemannian product of homogeneous nearly Kähler spaces, twistor spaces over quaternion-Kähler manifolds, and 6-dimensional nearly Kähler manifolds. Nearly Kähler manifolds are also an interesting class of manifolds admitting a metric connection with parallel totally antisymmetric torsion. Nearly Kähler manifolds should not be confused with almost Kähler manifolds. An almost Kähler manifold is an almost Hermitian manifold with a closed Kähler form: . The Kähler form or fundamental 2-form is defined by where is the metric on . The nearly Kähler condition and the almost Kähler condition are essentially exclusive: an almost Hermitian manifold is both nearly Kähler and almost Kahler if and only if it is Kähler.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiodrome
In geometry, a radiodrome is the pursuit curve followed by a point that is pursuing another linearly-moving point. The term is derived from the Greek words and . The classic (and best-known) form of a radiodrome is known as the "dog curve"; this is the path a dog follows when it swims across a stream with a current after something it has spotted on the other side. Because the dog drifts with the current, it will have to change its heading; it will also have to swim further than if it had taken the optimal heading. This case was described by Pierre Bouguer in 1732. A radiodrome may alternatively be described as the path a dog follows when chasing a hare, assuming that the hare runs in a straight line at a constant velocity. Mathematical analysis Introduce a coordinate system with origin at the position of the dog at time zero and with y-axis in the direction the hare is running with the constant speed . The position of the hare at time zero is with and at time it is The dog runs with the constant speed towards the instantaneous position of the hare. The differential equation corresponding to the movement of the dog, , is consequently It is possible to obtain a closed-form analytic expression for the motion of the dog.

He entered Trinity College Dublin, on 1 May 1775 as a pensioner, under the tutorship of the Rev. Dr. Drought, and was elected a Scholar in 1778. He graduated B.A. in 1780, M.A. in 1785, and B.D. and D.D. in 1795. In 1781 he was elected a fellow of his college. He was Donegall Lecturer of Mathematics (1790-1795), and in 1794 he was the first to hold the office of Donnellan Divinity Lecturer. In 1795 he was appointed Archbishop King's Lecturer in Divinity, succeeded to a senior fellowship, and also became the third Erasmus Smith's Professor of Mathematics (1795–1799). In 1799 he exchanged the Erasmus Smith's professorship of mathematics for the Erasmus Smith's Professor of Natural and Experimental Philosophy. In 1789, he published the mathematical treatise Euclidis Elementorum Sex Libri Priores, Cum Notis (Dublin University Press), whose 10th edition appeared in 1833. On resigning his fellowship in 1806 Elrinton was presented by his college to the rectory of Ardtrea, in the diocese of Armagh, which he held until December 1811. He resigned, having been appointed to the provostship of Trinity College. During his tenure in this office, he was the acting manager of almost every public board, and a supporter of charitable institutions. Elrington was advanced on 25 September 1820 to the bishopric of Limerick, and on 21 December 1822, he was translated to Leighlin and Ferns. While on his way to attend Parliament duties in London he died of paralysis at Liverpool on 12 July 1835. He was buried under the chapel of Trinity College Dublin, in which there was a monument with a Latin inscription to his memory. Another monument was erected by his clergy in the cathedral church of Ferns. Elrington was an active member of the Royal Irish Academy, and of other literary and scientific societies. The Elrington theological essay prize was instituted in Trinity College in 1837. A portrait of the bishop was painted in 1820 for his brother, Major Elrington, by Thomas Foster; engraved by William Ward, it was published in 1836 by Graves & Co. There was a marble bust in the library of Trinity College. Elrington was a highly intelligent man, but contemporaries found him inflexible, rigid and narrow-minded. Students, while praising him for his learning, found him personally obnoxious. Works His works are: 'Refutation of the Arg
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topology%20%28chemistry%29
In chemistry, topology provides a way of describing and predicting the molecular structure within the constraints of three-dimensional (3-D) space. Given the determinants of chemical bonding and the chemical properties of the atoms, topology provides a model for explaining how the atoms ethereal wave functions must fit together. Molecular topology is a part of mathematical chemistry dealing with the algebraic description of chemical compounds so allowing a unique and easy characterization of them. Topology is insensitive to the details of a scalar field, and can often be determined using simplified calculations. Scalar fields such as electron density, Madelung field, covalent field and the electrostatic potential can be used to model topology. Each scalar field has its own distinctive topology and each provides different information about the nature of chemical bonding and structure. The analysis of these topologies, when combined with simple electrostatic theory and a few empirical observations, leads to a quantitative model of localized chemical bonding. In the process, the analysis provides insights into the nature of chemical bonding. Applied topology explains how large molecules reach their final shapes and how biological molecules achieve their activity. Circuit topology is a topological property of folded linear polymers. It describes the arrangement of intra-chain contacts. Contacts can be established by intra-chain interactions, the so called hard contacts (h-contacts), or via chain entanglement or soft contacts (s-contacts). This notion has been applied to structural analysis of biomolecules such as proteins, RNAs, and genome. Topological indices It is possible to set up equations correlating direct quantitative structure activity relationships with experimental properties, usually referred to as topological indices (TIs). Topological indices are used in the development of quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) in which the biological activity or other properties of molecules are correlated with their chemical structure.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formally%20%C3%A9tale%20morphism
In commutative algebra and algebraic geometry, a morphism is called formally étale if it has a lifting property that is analogous to being a local diffeomorphism. Formally étale homomorphisms of rings Let A be a topological ring, and let B be a topological A-algebra. Then B is formally étale if for all discrete A-algebras C, all nilpotent ideals J of C, and all continuous A-homomorphisms , there exists a unique continuous A-algebra map such that , where is the canonical projection. Formally étale is equivalent to formally smooth plus formally unramified. Formally étale morphisms of schemes Since the structure sheaf of a scheme naturally carries only the discrete topology, the notion of formally étale for schemes is analogous to formally étale for the discrete topology for rings. That is, a morphism of schemes is formally étale if for every affine Y-scheme Z, every nilpotent sheaf of ideals J on Z with be the closed immersion determined by J, and every Y-morphism , there exists a unique Y-morphism such that . It is equivalent to let Z be any Y-scheme and let J be a locally nilpotent sheaf of ideals on Z. Properties Open immersions are formally étale. The property of being formally étale is preserved under composites, base change, and fibered products. If and are morphisms of schemes, g is formally unramified, and gf is formally étale, then f is formally étale. In particular, if g is formally étale, then f is formally étale if and only if gf is. The property of being formally étale is local on the source and target. The property of being formally étale can be checked on stalks. One can show that a morphism of rings is formally étale if and only if for every prime Q of B, the induced map is formally étale. Consequently, f is formally étale if and only if for every prime Q of B, the map is formally étale, where . Examples Localizations are formally étale. Finite separable field extensions are formally étale. More generally, any (commutative) flat separable A-algebra B is formally étale.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncus%20%28mathematics%29
In analytic geometry, a truncus is a curve in the Cartesian plane consisting of all points (x,y) satisfying an equation of the form where a, b, and c are given constants. The two asymptotes of a truncus are parallel to the coordinate axes. The basic truncus y = 1 / x2 has asymptotes at x = 0 and y = 0, and every other truncus can be obtained from this one through a combination of translations and dilations. For the general truncus form above, the constant a dilates the graph by a factor of a from the x-axis; that is, the graph is stretched vertically when a > 1 and compressed vertically when 0 < a < 1. When a < 0 the graph is reflected in the x-axis as well as being stretched vertically. The constant b translates the graph horizontally left b units when b > 0, or right when b < 0. The constant c translates the graph vertically up c units when c > 0 or down when c < 0. The asymptotes of a truncus are found at x = -b (for the vertical asymptote) and y = c (for the horizontal asymptote). This function is more commonly known as a reciprocal squared function, particularly the basic example . See also Rational functions Multiplicative inverse References Curves
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortion%20problem
In functional analysis, a branch of mathematics, the distortion problem is to determine by how much one can distort the unit sphere in a given Banach space using an equivalent norm. Specifically, a Banach space X is called λ-distortable if there exists an equivalent norm |x| on X such that, for all infinite-dimensional subspaces Y in X, (see distortion (mathematics)). Note that every Banach space is trivially 1-distortable. A Banach space is called distortable if it is λ-distortable for some λ > 1 and it is called arbitrarily distortable if it is λ-distortable for any λ. Distortability first emerged as an important property of Banach spaces in the 1960s, where it was studied by and . James proved that c0 and ℓ1 are not distortable. Milman showed that if X is a Banach space that does not contain an isomorphic copy of c0 or ℓp for some (see sequence space), then some infinite-dimensional subspace of X is distortable. So the distortion problem is now primarily of interest on the spaces ℓp, all of which are separable and uniform convex, for . In separable and uniform convex spaces, distortability is easily seen to be equivalent to the ostensibly more general question of whether or not every real-valued Lipschitz function ƒ defined on the sphere in X stabilizes on the sphere of an infinite dimensional subspace, i.e., whether there is a real number a ∈ R so that for every δ > 0 there is an infinite dimensional subspace Y of X, so that |a − ƒ(y)| < δ, for all y ∈ Y, with ||y|| = 1. But it follows from the result of that on ℓ1 there are Lipschitz functions which do not stabilize, although this space is not distortable by . In a separable Hilbert space, the distortion problem is equivalent to the question of whether there exist subsets of the unit sphere separated by a positive distance and yet intersect every infinite-dimensional closed subspace. Unlike many properties of Banach spaces, the distortion problem seems to be as difficult on Hilbert spaces as on other Banach spaces. On a separable Hilbert space, and for the other ℓp-spaces, 1 < p < ∞, the distortion problem was solved affirmatively by , who showed that ℓ2 is arbitrarily distortable, using the first known arbitrarily distortable space constructed by .

It is found in southern Vietnam, and is not known to be found in other places globally. It Is in the kingdom Animalia, phylum Chordata, and class Amphibia. Along with this, it is in the order Anura, family Rhacophoridae, and it is the only member of the genus Vampyrus. It is also known as the vampire tree frog or the vampire flying frog because of the presence of a pair of fang-like hooks in the mouth of the tadpoles. It is found in montane evergreen forests at 1470–2004 m. The frog is adapted to arboreal living with webbings of feet that allow it to glide between trees. These webbed feet give the name "flying" to the common name vampire flying frog, as the frog glides between trees it appears to be flying. Rhacophorus vampyrus and Vampyrius vampyrus are used interchangeably between academic articles. Taxonomy The first specimen was discovered in 2008 by Jodi Rowley of the Australian Museum at Sydney, Australia, and her student Le Thi Thuy Duong from Ho Chi Minh City University of Science. After collecting more specimens in 2009 and 2010, her team described the new species as Rhacophorus vampyrus in the journal Zootaxa in 2010. In 2012, the species was classified as Rhacophorus calcaneus due to the morphology of adult frogs; however, in 2014 the species was reclassified as R. vampyrus through phylogenic research. In 2021, a phylogenetic study found the species to fall far outside Rhacophorus, and instead be the sister genus to Gracixalus; for this reason, it was reclassified into the new genus Vampyrius. This classification is accepted by Amphibian Species of the World, but has not been followed by AmphibiaWeb. This disagreement among scientists contributes to why this article uses Rhacophor
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System%20of%20Integrated%20Environmental%20and%20Economic%20Accounting
System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA) is a framework to compile statistics linking environmental statistics to economic statistics. SEEA is described as a satellite system to the United Nations System of National Accounts (SNA). This means that the definitions, guidelines and practical approaches of the SNA are applied to the SEEA. This system enables environmental statistics to be compared to economic statistics as the system boundaries are the same after some processing of the input statistics. By analysing statistics on the economy and the environment at the same time it is possible to show different patterns of sustainability for production and consumption. It can also show the economic consequences of maintaining a certain environmental standard. Scope The SEEA is a satellite system of the SNA that consists of several sets of accounts. In broad terms, the area can be described as enabling any user of statistics to compare environmental issues to general economics, knowing that the comparisons are based on the same entities, for example, pollution levels caused by a producing industry can be linked to the specific economics of that industry. The different areas of SEEA can be briefly described as follows: Flows of materials and energy By this is meant flows of materials and energy through the economy, e.g., fuels, natural resources and chemicals, together with their emissions, may it be air emissions, water pollution or waste to which these flows give rise. Data on emissions, above all to the air, have been published for many countries, in particular, European countries following SEEA. The main difference between traditional emissions statistics and emissions in environmental accounts are related to the system boundaries. For example, the inventories produced for the reporting of air emissions to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) are based on the geographic borders of a country while the air emission accounts following SEEA use the boundary of a specific economy (this is the "residence principle" of the national accounts). This difference is mainly shown in transport emissions as all emissions caused by an economy are included in SEEA. For example, emissions from trucks, ships or airplanes are allocated to their country of origin, even if the emissions occur outside of the borders of this country. Moreover, in the UNFCCC inventories, "transport" is a specific sector of its own and it is not possible to know the share of households and of different industries in the transport emissions. Other statistics that have been developed with relation to flows of material are economy-wide material flow accounts and still being developed are energy flow- and water flow accounts. Environmental economic statistics Economic variables that are already included in the national accounts but are of obvious environmental interest, such as investments and expenditure in the area of environmental protection, env

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy%20distance
Energy distance is a statistical distance between probability distributions. If X and Y are independent random vectors in Rd with cumulative distribution functions (cdf) F and G respectively, then the energy distance between the distributions F and G is defined to be the square root of where (X, X', Y, Y') are independent, the cdf of X and X' is F, the cdf of Y and Y' is G, is the expected value, and || . || denotes the length of a vector. Energy distance satisfies all axioms of a metric thus energy distance characterizes the equality of distributions: D(F,G) = 0 if and only if F = G. Energy distance for statistical applications was introduced in 1985 by Gábor J. Székely, who proved that for real-valued random variables is exactly twice Harald Cramér's distance: For a simple proof of this equivalence, see Székely (2002). In higher dimensions, however, the two distances are different because the energy distance is rotation invariant while Cramér's distance is not. (Notice that Cramér's distance is not the same as the distribution-free Cramér–von Mises criterion.) Generalization to metric spaces One can generalize the notion of energy distance to probability distributions on metric spaces. Let be a metric space with its Borel sigma algebra . Let denote the collection of all probability measures on the measurable space . If μ and ν are probability measures in , then the energy-distance of μ and ν can be defined as the square root of This is not necessarily non-negative, however. If is a strongly negative definite kernel, then is a metric, and conversely. This condition is expressed by saying that has negative type. Negative type is not sufficient for to be a metric; the latter condition is expressed by saying that has strong negative type. In this situation, the energy distance is zero if and only if X and Y are identically distributed. An example of a metric of negative type but not of strong negative type is the plane with the taxicab metric. All Euclidean spaces and even separable Hilbert spaces have strong negative type. In the literature on kernel methods for machine learning, these generalized notions of energy distance are studied under the name of maximum mean discrepancy. Equivalence of distance based and kernel methods for hypothesis testing is covered by several authors. Energy statistics A related statistical concept, the notion of E-statistic or energy-statistic was introduced by Gábor J. Székely in the 1980s when he was giving colloquium lectures in Budapest, Hungary and at MIT, Yale, and Columbia. This concept is based on the notion of Newton’s potential energy. The idea is to consider statistical observations as heavenly bodies governed by a statistical potential energy which is zero only when an underlying statistical null hypothesis is true. Energy statistics are functions of distances between statistical observations. Energy distance and E-statistic were considered as N-distances and N-statistic in Z
