In mathematics, the either–or topology is a topological structure defined on the closed interval [−1, 1] by declaring a set open if it either does not contain {0} or does contain (−1, 1). References General topology
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact%20complement%20topology
In mathematics, the compact complement topology is a topology defined on the set of real numbers, defined by declaring a subset open if and only if it is either empty or its complement is compact in the standard Euclidean topology on . References Topology

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Uniform k 21 polytope}} In geometry, a uniform k21 polytope is a polytope in k + 4 dimensions constructed from the En Coxeter group, and having only regular polytope facets. The family was named by their Coxeter symbol k21 by its bifurcating Coxeter–Dynkin diagram, with a single ring on the end of the k-...

In mathematics, Abel's inequality, named after Niels Henrik Abel, supplies a simple bound on the absolute value of the inner product of two vectors in an important special case. Mathematical description Let {a1, a2,...} be a sequence of real numbers that is either nonincreasing or nondecreasing, and let {b1, b2,...} b...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounded%20deformation
In mathematics, a function of bounded deformation is a function whose distributional derivatives are not quite well-behaved-enough to qualify as functions of bounded variation, although the symmetric part of the derivative matrix does meet that condition. Thought of as deformations of elasto-plastic bodies, functions o...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylindrical%20algebraic%20decomposition
In mathematics, cylindrical algebraic decomposition (CAD) is a notion, and an algorithm to compute it, that are fundamental for computer algebra and real algebraic geometry. Given a set S of polynomials in Rn, a cylindrical algebraic decomposition is a decomposition of Rn into connected semialgebraic sets called cells,...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Ouse
The Ouse is a tidal estuary in northern Shapinsay, Orkney Islands. This water body has been shown on early maps of the island in a very similar shape to its current geometry. The Ouse is fed by small rivulets and upland springs that rise on the western part of the island's northeast spur. pH levels of these feed waters...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropomorphic%20polygon
In geometry, an anthropomorphic polygon is a simple polygon with precisely two ears and one mouth. That is, for exactly three polygon vertices, the line segment connecting the two neighbors of the vertex does not cross the polygon. For two of these vertices (the ears) the line segment connecting the neighbors forms a d...
