In number theory, a congruent number is a positive integer that is the area of a right triangle with three rational number sides. A more general definition includes all positive rational numbers with this property. The sequence of (integer) congruent numbers starts with 5, 6, 7, 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 28, 2...

In applied mathematics, highly optimized tolerance (HOT) is a method of generating power law behavior in systems by including a global optimization principle. It was developed by Jean M. Carlson and John Doyle in the early 2000s. For some systems that display a characteristic scale, a global optimization term could po...
