https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skorokhod%20integral
In mathematics, the Skorokhod integral (also named Hitsuda-Skorokhod integral), often denoted , is an operator of great importance in the theory of stochastic processes. It is named after the Ukrainian mathematician Anatoliy Skorokhod and japanese mathematician Masuyuki Hitsuda. Part of its importance is that it unifies several concepts: is an extension of the Itô integral to non-adapted processes; is the adjoint of the Malliavin derivative, which is fundamental to the stochastic calculus of variations (Malliavin calculus); is an infinite-dimensional generalization of the divergence operator from classical vector calculus. The integral was introduced by Hitsuda in 1972 and by Skorokhod in 1975. Definition Preliminaries: the Malliavin derivative Consider a fixed probability space and a Hilbert space ; denotes expectation with respect to Intuitively speaking, the Malliavin derivative of a random variable in is defined by expanding it in terms of Gaussian random variables that are parametrized by the elements of and differentiating the expansion formally; the Skorokhod integral is the adjoint operation to the Malliavin derivative. Consider a family of -valued random variables , indexed by the elements of the Hilbert space . Assume further that each is a Gaussian (normal) random variable, that the map taking to is a linear map, and that the mean and covariance structure is given by for all and in . It can be shown that, given , there always exists a probability space and a family of random variables with the above properties. The Malliavin derivative is essentially defined by formally setting the derivative of the random variable to be , and then extending this definition to "smooth enough" random variables. For a random variable of the form where is smooth, the Malliavin derivative is defined using the earlier "formal definition" and the chain rule: In other words, whereas was a real-valued random variable, its derivative is an -valued random variable, an element of the space . Of course, this procedure only defines for "smooth" random variables, but an approximation procedure can be employed to define for in a large subspace of ; the domain of is the closure of the smooth random variables in the seminorm : This space is denoted by and is called the Watanabe–Sobolev space. The Skorokhod integral For simplicity, consider now just the case . The Skorokhod integral is defined to be the -adjoint of the Malliavin derivative . Just as was not defined on the whole of , is not defined on the whole of : the domain of consists of those processes in for which there exists a constant such that, for all in , The Skorokhod integral of a process in is a real-valued random variable in ; if lies in the domain of , then is defined by the relation that, for all , Just as the Malliavin derivative was first defined on simple, smooth random variables, the Skorokhod integral has a simple expression for "s

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radius%20of%20curvature
In differential geometry, the radius of curvature, , is the reciprocal of the curvature. For a curve, it equals the radius of the circular arc which best approximates the curve at that point. For surfaces, the radius of curvature is the radius of a circle that best fits a normal section or combinations thereof. Definition In the case of a space curve, the radius of curvature is the length of the curvature vector. In the case of a plane curve, then is the absolute value of where is the arc length from a fixed point on the curve, is the tangential angle and is the curvature. Formula In two dimensions If the curve is given in Cartesian coordinates as , i.e., as the graph of a function, then the radius of curvature is (assuming the curve is differentiable up to order 2) where and denotes the absolute value of . If the curve is given parametrically by functions and , then the radius of curvature is where and Heuristically, this result can be interpreted as where In dimensions If is a parametrized curve in then the radius of curvature at each point of the curve, , is given by As a special case, if is a function from to , then the radius of curvature of its graph, , is Derivation Let be as above, and fix . We want to find the radius of a parametrized circle which matches in its zeroth, first, and second derivatives at . Clearly the radius will not depend on the position , only on the velocity and acceleration . There are only three independent scalars that can be obtained from two vectors and , namely , , and . Thus the radius of curvature must be a function of the three scalars , and . The general equation for a parametrized circle in is where is the center of the circle (irrelevant since it disappears in the derivatives), are perpendicular vectors of length (that is, and ), and is an arbitrary function which is twice differentiable at . The relevant derivatives of work out to be If we now equate these derivatives of to the corresponding derivatives of at we obtain These three equations in three unknowns (, and ) can be solved for , giving the formula for the radius of curvature: or, omitting the parameter for readability, Examples Semicircles and circles For a semi-circle of radius in the upper half-plane with For a semi-circle of radius in the lower half-plane The circle of radius has a radius of curvature equal to . Ellipses In an ellipse with major axis and minor axis , the vertices on the major axis have the smallest radius of curvature of any points, and the vertices on the minor axis have the largest radius of curvature of any points, . The radius of curvature of an ellipse, as a function of parameter , is where The radius of curvature of an ellipse, as a function of , is where the eccentricity of the ellipse, , is given by Applications For the use in differential geometry, see Cesàro equation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second%20moment%20method
In mathematics, the second moment method is a technique used in probability theory and analysis to show that a random variable has positive probability of being positive. More generally, the "moment method" consists of bounding the probability that a random variable fluctuates far from its mean, by using its moments. The method is often quantitative, in that one can often deduce a lower bound on the probability that the random variable is larger than some constant times its expectation. The method involves comparing the second moment of random variables to the square of the first moment. First moment method The first moment method is a simple application of Markov's inequality for integer-valued variables. For a non-negative, integer-valued random variable , we may want to prove that with high probability. To obtain an upper bound for , and thus a lower bound for , we first note that since takes only integer values, . Since is non-negative we can now apply Markov's inequality to obtain . Combining these we have ; the first moment method is simply the use of this inequality. Second moment method In the other direction, being "large" does not directly imply that is small. However, we can often use the second moment to derive such a conclusion, using Cauchy–Schwarz inequality. The method can also be used on distributional limits of random variables. Furthermore, the estimate of the previous theorem can be refined by means of the so-called Paley–Zygmund inequality. Suppose that is a sequence of non-negative real-valued random variables which converge in law to a random variable . If there are finite positive constants , such that hold for every , then it follows from the Paley–Zygmund inequality that for every and in Consequently, the same inequality is satisfied by . Example application of method Setup of problem The Bernoulli bond percolation subgraph of a graph at parameter is a random subgraph obtained from by deleting every edge of with probability , independently. The infinite complete binary tree is an infinite tree where one vertex (called the root) has two neighbors and every other vertex has three neighbors. The second moment method can be used to show that at every parameter with positive probability the connected component of the root in the percolation subgraph of is infinite. Application of method Let be the percolation component of the root, and let be the set of vertices of that are at distance from the root. Let be the number of vertices in . To prove that is infinite with positive probability, it is enough to show that with positive probability. By the reverse Fatou lemma, it suffices to show that . The Cauchy–Schwarz inequality gives Therefore, it is sufficient to show that that is, that the second moment is bounded from above by a constant times the first moment squared (and both are nonzero). In many applications of the second moment method, one is not able to calculate the moments precisely,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small%20triambic%20icosahedron
In geometry, the small triambic icosahedron is a star polyhedron composed of 20 intersecting non-regular hexagon faces. It has 60 edges and 32 vertices, and Euler characteristic of −8. It is an isohedron, meaning that all of its faces are symmetric to each other. Branko Grünbaum has conjectured that it is the only Euclidean isohedron with convex faces of six or more sides, but the small hexagonal hexecontahedron is another example. Geometry The faces are equilateral hexagons, with alternating angles of and . The dihedral angle equals . Related shapes The external surface of the small triambic icosahedron (removing the parts of each hexagonal face that are surrounded by other faces, but interpreting the resulting disconnected plane figures as still being faces) coincides with one of the stellations of the icosahedron. If instead, after removing the surrounded parts of each face, each resulting triple of coplanar triangles is considered to be three separate faces, then the result is one form of the triakis icosahedron, formed by adding a triangular pyramid to each face of an icosahedron. The dual polyhedron of the small triambic icosahedron is the small ditrigonal icosidodecahedron. As this is a uniform polyhedron, the small triambic icosahedron is a uniform dual. Other uniform duals whose exterior surfaces are stellations of the icosahedron are the medial triambic icosahedron and the great triambic icosahedron.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric%20inverse%20semigroup
In abstract algebra, the set of all partial bijections on a set X ( one-to-one partial transformations) forms an inverse semigroup, called the symmetric inverse semigroup (actually a monoid) on X. The conventional notation for the symmetric inverse semigroup on a set X is or . In general is not commutative. Details about the origin of the symmetric inverse semigroup are available in the discussion on the origins of the inverse semigroup. Finite symmetric inverse semigroups When X is a finite set {1, ..., n}, the inverse semigroup of one-to-one partial transformations is denoted by Cn and its elements are called charts or partial symmetries. The notion of chart generalizes the notion of permutation. A (famous) example of (sets of) charts are the hypomorphic mapping sets from the reconstruction conjecture in graph theory. The cycle notation of classical, group-based permutations generalizes to symmetric inverse semigroups by the addition of a notion called a path, which (unlike a cycle) ends when it reaches the "undefined" element; the notation thus extended is called path notation.

al-Ras () is a Palestinian village in the Tulkarm Governorate in the eastern West Bank, located 7 kilometers South-east of Tulkarm. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, al-Ras had a population of 650 inhabitants in 2017. In 1997, refugees made up 11.1% of the population of al-Ras. The healthcare facilities for al-Ras are based in Kafr Sur, where the facilities are designated as MOH level 2. History Ceramics from the Byzantine era have been found here. Seven ruins are shown on the plan north of this village within about a mile. They are ancient watch towers, like those of Azzun. One of them, known as Gasr Bint esh-Sheikh, dates from the late Hellenistic and early Roman periods. Ottoman era Al-Ras was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire in 1517 with all of Palestine, and in 1596 it appeared in the tax registers as being in the Nahiya of Bani Sa'b of the Liwa of Nablus. It had a population of 25 households, all Muslim. The villagers paid a fixed tax-rate of 33,3% on various agricultural products, including wheat, barley, summer crops, olive trees, goats and/or beehives in addition to occasional revenues and a fixed tax for people of Nablus area; a total of 6,600 akçe. All the revenues went to a waqf. In 1838, Robinson noted er-Ras as a village in Beni Sa'ab district, west of Nablus. In 1870/1871 (1288 AH), an Ottoman census listed the village with 23 Household in the nahiya (sub-district) of Bani Sa'b. In 1882 the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described Er Ras as: "a small hamlet on a high knoll, supplied by cisterns, with olives below on the north." British Mandate era In the 1922 census of Palestine conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Ras had a population of 92 Muslims, increasing in the 1931 census to 119 Muslims, living in 26 houses. In the 1945 statistics the population of Er Ras was 160 Muslims, with 5,646 dunams of land according to an official land and population survey. Of this, 1,029 dunams were plantations and irrigable land, 2,027 were used for cereals, while 3 dunams were built-up (urban) land. Jordanian era In the wake of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and after the 1949 Armistice Agreements, Al-Ras came under Jordanian rule. In 1961, the population of Al-Ras was 269. Post 1967 Since the Six-Day War in 1967, Al-Ras has been under Israeli occupation.

The inhabitants paid a fixed tax rate of 33,3% on agricultural products, including wheat, barley, summer crops, olive trees, goats and beehives, in addition to occasional revenues and a press for olive oil or grape syrup, and a fixed tax for people of Nablus area; a total of 3,202 akçe. In 1838, it was noted as a village, Shaufeh in the Wady esh-Sha'ir district, west of Nablus. In the 1860s, the Ottoman authorities granted the village an agricultural plot of land called Ghabat Shufa in the former confines of the Forest of Arsur (Ar. Al-Ghaba) in the coastal plain, west of the village. In 1870 Victor Guérin noted the village on a hilltop, and taking it as equal importance as Saffarin. In 1870/1871 (1288 AH), an Ottoman census listed the village in the nahiya (sub-district) of Wadi al-Sha'ir. In 1882 the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described Shufeh as: "A small stone village, in a strong position on a ridge, with steep slopes north and south. It is supplied by a well in the village, and has a few olives below it. A good view is obtained from it over the plain, and the country north and south, as well as to the range north of Sebustieh." British Mandate era In the 1922 census of Palestine conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Shufeh had a population of 207 Muslims, increasing in the 1931 census to 259 Muslims, living in 47 houses. In the 1945 statistics the population of Shufa was 370 Muslims, with 11,690 dunams of land according to an official land and population survey. Of this, 4,315 dunams were used for cereals, while 6 dunams were built-up (urban) land. Jordanian era In the wake of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and after the 1949 Armistice Agreements, Shufa came under Jordanian rule. In 1961, the population was 503. Post 1967 Since the Six-Day War in 1967, Shufa has been under Israeli occupation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeita%2C%20Tulkarm
Zeita () is a Palestinian town in the Tulkarm Governorate in the western West Bank, located 11 kilometers North-east of Tulkarm. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, Zeita had a population of 3,078 inhabitants in 2017. 21.5% of the population of Zeita were refugees in 1997. The healthcare facilities for Zeita are designated as MOH level 2. History Zeita is an ancient village where marble Corinthian capitals have been reused in a local Maqam. Pottery remains have been found here from the Byzantine, early Muslim and the Middle Ages. The place was mentioned as a Samaritan settlement in Baba Rabba's revolt during the 4th century CE. A Samaritan elder and leader named haCohen Levi lived there. According to Levy-Rubin, it was inhabited by Samaritans from the 4th to the 9th centuries. In 1265, Zeita was among the villages and estates sultan Baibars allocated to his amirs after he had expelled the Crusaders. Half of Zaita was given to emir Jamal al-Din Aidughdi al-'Azizi, a quarter to emir Shams al-Din Ildikuz al-Karaki, and a quarter to emir Saif al-Din Qilij al-Baghdadi. Ottoman era The village was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire with the rest of Palestine in 1517. In the 1596 Ottoman tax records, it appeared under the name of Zaita, located in the Nahiya Qaqun, in the Nablus Sanjak. It had a population of 91 Muslim and 7 Christian households. They paid a fixed tax-rate of 33.3% on agricultural products, including wheat, barley, summer crops, olive trees, goats and beehives, in addition to occasional revenues and a press for olive oil or grape syrup and a jizya tax on people in the Nablus area; a total of 3,440 akçe. Pottery remains from the Ottoman era have also been found here. Zeita appears on sheet 45 Jacotin's map drawn-up during Napoleon's invasion in 1799, though its position is not accurate. During the 1834 Peasants' revolt in Palestine, Ibrahim Pasha of Egypt pursued rebels to Zeita. Ninety rebels were slain here, while the rest fled to nearby Deir al-Ghusun. At Deir al-Ghusun, many of the inhabitants and rebels heeded a call by Husayn Abd al-Hadi to flee once the Egyptian troops arrived. In response, rebel commander Qasim had several of the defectors among his ranks killed. Ibrahim Pasha's troops stormed the hill and the rebels (mostly members of the Qasim, Jarrar, Jayyusi and Barqawi families) were routed, suffering 300 fatalities. In 1838 it was noted as a village, Zeita, in the western Esh-Sha'rawiyeh administrative region, north of Nablus. In 1870 Victor Guérin found here a village with 600 inhabitants. He further noted: "Here I found, just as at Jett, an ancient capital hollowed out to make a mortar, and used for the same purpose. A very good well, constructed of cut stone, seems ancient." In 1870/1871 (1288 AH), an Ottoman census listed the village in the nahiya (sub-district) of al-Sha'rawiyya al-Gharbiyya. In 1882, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described it as: "a good

Nur Shams () is a Palestinian refugee camp in the Tulkarm Governorate in the northwestern West Bank, located three kilometers east of Tulkarm. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, Nur Shams had a population of 6,479 inhabitants in 2007 and 6,423 by 2017. 95.1% of the population of Nur Shams were refugees in 1997. The UNRWA-run healthcare facility for Nur Shams camp was re-built in 1996 with contributions from the Government of Germany. Historian Benny Morris describes it as having been "a lonely and exclusively Arab area" in early 1936. During the Mandate period, a British detention camp was situated at Nur Shams. Nur Shams camp was established in 1952 on 226 dunums. The camp was transferred to Palestinian Authority control in November 1998, after the signing of the Wye River Memorandum and the first phase of further Israeli redeployment. The two schools in the camp are in poor condition and are listed on UNRWA's priority list for replacement pending securing of funds to carry out the project. A four story Boys' school was constructed in 2004 and has 1035 pupils, the girls' school was constructed in 2001 and has 975 pupils. In 2023, the IDF entered the camp.

'Azzun 'Atma () is a Palestinian village in the Qalqilya Governorate in the western West Bank, located 5 kilometers South-east of Qalqilya. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, 'Azzun 'Atma had a population of 2,068 inhabitants in 2017. 3.9% of the population of 'Azzun 'Atma were refugees in 1997. The healthcare facilities for 'Azzun 'Atma are designated as MOH level 2. Location ‘Azzun ‘Atma is located 8.82 km south of Qalqiliya. It is bordered by Mas-ha and Sha'arei Tikva to the east, Az Zawiya to the south, Oranit to the west, and Beit ‘Amin and ‘Izbat Salman to the north. History Potsherds from the Iron Age II, Persian, Hellenistic, Byzantine, Byzantine/Umayyad, Crusader/Ayyubid and Mamluk eras have been found. Old stones have been reused in homes, and the mosque is possibly an old church. Ottoman era The place appeared in 1596 Ottoman tax registers as 'Azzun, being in the Nahiya of Jabal Qubal of the Liwa of Nablus. It had a population of 29 households and 2 bachelors, all Muslim. The villagers paid a fixed tax rate of 33,3%, on wheat, barley, summer crops, olives, goats and beehives; a total of 4,200 akçe. Potsherds from the early Ottoman era have also been found here. When the French explorer Victor Guérin visited the place in 1870 it was described it as a large Arab village, then deserted. Many small, square houses were still partly standing, and near the mosque he noticed old columns and large stone from older buildings. Old fig trees and beautiful mimosa were scattered through the ruins. In the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (1882), it is also described as a "ruined village". Jordanian Era In the wake of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and after the 1949 Armistice Agreements, Azzun Atma came under Jordanian rule. Post-1967 Since the Six-Day War in 1967, Azzun Atma has been under Israeli occupation. After the 1995 accords, about 3.8% of village land was classified as Area B, the remaining 96.2% as Area C. Israel has confiscated 2,689 dunams of village land in order to construct three Israeli settlements of Sha'are Tikva, Oranit and Zamarot (Zamarot becoming part of Oranit), in addition to land for the Israeli West Bank barrier, which almost entirely surrounds Azzun Atma, and which also isolate the village from much of its remaining land behind the wall.

In set theory, a mathematical discipline, a reflecting cardinal is a cardinal number κ for which there is a normal ideal I on κ such that for every X∈I+, the set of α∈κ for which X reflects at α is in I+. (A stationary subset S of κ is said to reflect at α<κ if S∩α is stationary in α.) Reflecting cardinals were introduced by . Every weakly compact cardinal is a reflecting cardinal, and is also a limit of reflecting cardinals. The consistency strength of an inaccessible reflecting cardinal is strictly greater than a greatly Mahlo cardinal, where a cardinal κ is called greatly Mahlo if it is κ+-Mahlo . An inaccessible reflecting cardinal is not in general Mahlo however, see https://mathoverflow.net/q/212597. See also List of large cardinal properties References Large cardinals

Nabi Ilyas () is a Palestinian village in the Qalqilya Governorate in the western West Bank, located two kilometers east of Qalqilya. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, an Nabi Ilyas had a population of 1,399 inhabitants in 2017. 25.6% of the population of an Nabi Ilyas were refugees in 1997. The health care facilities for an Nabi Ilyas are in Qalqilya designated as MoH level 4 there are also two clinics one run by the UNRWA and one run by the Palestinian Ministry of Health. Location An Nabi Ilyas is located 5.06 km east of Qalqiliya. It is bordered by ‘Izbat at Tabib and ‘Isla to the east, Ras at Tira and ‘Izbat al Ashqar to the south, ‘Arab Abu Farda to the west, and Jayyus to the north. History The village is situated on an ancient site. Cisterns, and graves cut into rock have been found here, together with ceramics from the Byzantine era. Ottoman era Nabi Ilyas was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire in 1517 with all of Palestine, and in 1596 it appeared in the tax registers under the name of Ilyas, as being in the Nahiya of Bani Sa'b of the Liwa of Nablus. It was noted as hali, empty, but a fixed tax rate of 33,3% was paid on agricultural products; a total of 1,200 akçe. In 1882 the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine described Neby Elyas (under "Archæology") as: "Walls and wells, with a ruined kubbeh." British Mandate era In the 1945 statistics, during the British Mandate of Palestine, the population was counted under Azzun. Jordanian era In the wake of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and after the 1949 Armistice Agreements, Nabi Ilyas came under Jordanian rule. In 1961, the population of Nabi Ilyas was 223. 1967-present Since the Six-Day War in 1967, Nabi Ilyas has been under Israeli occupation. After the 1995 accords, 2.7% of Nabi Ilyas land has been defined as Area B land, while the remaining 97.3% is Area C. Israel confiscated 1,943 dunums of village land (43.8% of the total village lands) for the Israeli settlement of Alfei Menashe, in addition to confiscating land from other neighbouring Palestinian villages. The Separation Wall would further separate the village from much of its land. By 2009 Israeli consumers were using Nabi Ilyas for bargain hunting. Jewish shoppers, who were kept out of the main Palestinian cities by Israeli security regulations, were drawn by the cheap prices for groceries, furniture and dental treatment that are on offer in Nabi Ilyas.

Kunen's proof of Kunen's inconsistency theorem uses a Jónsson function for cardinals λ such that 2λ = λℵ0, and Kunen observed that for this special case there is a simpler proof of the existence of Jónsson functions. gave a simple proof for the general case. The existence of Jónsson functions shows that for any cardinal there is an algebra with an infinitary operation that has no proper subalgebras of the same cardinality. In particular if infinitary operations are allowed then an analogue of Jónsson algebras exists in any cardinality, so there are no infinitary analogues of Jónsson cardinals.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fieller%27s%20theorem
In statistics, Fieller's theorem allows the calculation of a confidence interval for the ratio of two means. Approximate confidence interval Variables a and b may be measured in different units, so there is no way to directly combine the standard errors as they may also be in different units. The most complete discussion of this is given by Fieller (1954). Fieller showed that if a and b are (possibly correlated) means of two samples with expectations and , and variances and and covariance , and if are all known, then a (1 − α) confidence interval (mL, mU) for is given by where Here is an unbiased estimator of based on r degrees of freedom, and is the -level deviate from the Student's t-distribution based on r degrees of freedom. Three features of this formula are important in this context: a) The expression inside the square root has to be positive, or else the resulting interval will be imaginary. b) When g is very close to 1, the confidence interval is infinite. c) When g is greater than 1, the overall divisor outside the square brackets is negative and the confidence interval is exclusive. Other methods One problem is that, when g is not small, the confidence interval can blow up when using Fieller's theorem. Andy Grieve has provided a Bayesian solution where the CIs are still sensible, albeit wide. Bootstrapping provides another alternative that does not require the assumption of normality. History Edgar C. Fieller (1907–1960) first started working on this problem while in Karl Pearson's group at University College London, where he was employed for five years after graduating in Mathematics from King's College, Cambridge. He then worked for the Boots Pure Drug Company as a statistician and operational researcher before becoming deputy head of operational research at RAF Fighter Command during the Second World War, after which he was appointed the first head of the Statistics Section at the National Physical Laboratory.

Al-Burj () is a Palestinian village located southwest of Hebron, in the Hebron Governorate of State of Palestine, in the southern West Bank. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, the village had a population of 3,205 in 2017. The primary health care facilities for the village are designated by the Ministry of Health as level 2. History Ceramics from the Byzantine era have been found here. Ottoman era In 1838, Edward Robinson noted el-Burj as a place "in ruins or deserted," part of the area between the mountains and Gaza, but subject to the government of el-Khulil. Robinson further noted: "The ruins here consists of the remains of a square fortress, about two hundred feet on a side, situated directly upon the surface the projecting hill [..] On the eastern and southern sides a trench has been hewn out in the rock, which sees to have extended quite around the fortress. The walls are mostly broken down [..] the general appearance of the ruin is decidedly that of a Saracenic structure; and I am disposed to regard it as one of the line of strong Saracenic or Turkish fortresses, which appears once to have been drawn along the southern frontier of Palestine. Of these we had now listed four, viz. at Kurmul, Semua, Dhoheriyeh, and this at el-Burj". In 1863 Victor Guérin called the place Khirbet el-Bordj and noted a maqam, shaped like a tower and dedicated to a Sheikh Mahmoud. He also noted "several caves, some of which are used today as refuge for the shepherds, when they come to graze their herds on this mountain." In 1883, the PEF's Survey of Palestine described the place, which they called Burj el Beiyarah: "Remains of a fort 200 feet side, with a fosse on the east and south, hewn in rock. Foundations only remain of small masonry, with the joints packed with smaller stones. Round it are caves in the rocks." British Mandate era At the time of the 1931 census of Palestine the population of al Burj was counted under Dura. Jordanian era In the wake of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and after the 1949 Armistice Agreements, al-Burj came under Jordanian rule. On 25 February 1953, five Arab shepherds were killed and mutilated by Israel in the so called The Har-Zion Affair at al-Burj, including a 16-year-old. In 1961, the population of Burj was 712. 1967, aftermath After the Six-Day War in 1967, al-Burj has been under Israeli occupation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore%20matrix
In linear algebra, a Moore matrix, introduced by , is a matrix defined over a finite field. When it is a square matrix its determinant is called a Moore determinant (this is unrelated to the Moore determinant of a quaternionic Hermitian matrix). The Moore matrix has successive powers of the Frobenius automorphism applied to its columns (beginning with the zeroth power of the Frobenius automorphism in the first column), so it is an m × n matrix or for all indices i and j. (Some authors use the transpose of the above matrix.) The Moore determinant of a square Moore matrix (so m = n) can be expressed as: where c runs over a complete set of direction vectors, made specific by having the last non-zero entry equal to 1, i.e., In particular the Moore determinant vanishes if and only if the elements in the left hand column are linearly dependent over the finite field of order q. So it is analogous to the Wronskian of several functions. Dickson used the Moore determinant in finding the modular invariants of the general linear group over a finite field.

Cocker's Decimal Arithmetick is a grammar school mathematics textbook written by Edward Cocker (1631–1676) and published posthumously by John Hawkins in 1684. Decimal Arithmetick along with companion volume, Cocker's Arithmetick published in 1677, were used in schools in the United Kingdom for more than 150 years. The concept of decimal fractions and the advantages of using them in calculations were well known, but a wide variety of different notations were in use. After surveying various notations, Decimal Arithmetick recommends the decimal point notation introduced by John Napier: A decimal fraction being written ... by having a point or prick prefixed before it ... being written according to the first direction, I conceive they may be most fit for calculation. Decimal Arithmetick gives instructions for calculations involving decimals, methods of extracting roots, and an overview of the concept of logarithms. There are many worked examples, some of which involve solid geometry or the calculation of interest. References 1678 books Mathematics textbooks Mathematics education in the United Kingdom

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multivariate%20adaptive%20regression%20spline
In statistics, multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) is a form of regression analysis introduced by Jerome H. Friedman in 1991. It is a non-parametric regression technique and can be seen as an extension of linear models that automatically models nonlinearities and interactions between variables. The term "MARS" is trademarked and licensed to Salford Systems. In order to avoid trademark infringements, many open-source implementations of MARS are called "Earth". The basics This section introduces MARS using a few examples. We start with a set of data: a matrix of input variables x, and a vector of the observed responses y, with a response for each row in x. For example, the data could be: Here there is only one independent variable, so the x matrix is just a single column. Given these measurements, we would like to build a model which predicts the expected y for a given x. A linear model for the above data is The hat on the indicates that is estimated from the data. The figure on the right shows a plot of this function: a line giving the predicted versus x, with the original values of y shown as red dots. The data at the extremes of x indicates that the relationship between y and x may be non-linear (look at the red dots relative to the regression line at low and high values of x). We thus turn to MARS to automatically build a model taking into account non-linearities. MARS software constructs a model from the given x and y as follows The figure on the right shows a plot of this function: the predicted versus x, with the original values of y once again shown as red dots. The predicted response is now a better fit to the original y values. MARS has automatically produced a kink in the predicted y to take into account non-linearity. The kink is produced by hinge functions. The hinge functions are the expressions starting with (where is if , else ). Hinge functions are described in more detail below. In this simple example, we can easily see from the plot that y has a non-linear relationship with x (and might perhaps guess that y varies with the square of x). However, in general there will be multiple independent variables, and the relationship between y and these variables will be unclear and not easily visible by plotting. We can use MARS to discover that non-linear relationship. An example MARS expression with multiple variables is This expression models air pollution (the ozone level) as a function of the temperature and a few other variables. Note that the last term in the formula (on the last line) incorporates an interaction between and . The figure on the right plots the predicted as and vary, with the other variables fixed at their median values. The figure shows that wind does not affect the ozone level unless visibility is low. We see that MARS can build quite flexible regression surfaces by combining hinge functions. To obtain the above expression, the MARS model building procedure automa
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique%20sink%20orientation
In mathematics, a unique sink orientation is an orientation of the edges of a polytope such that, in every face of the polytope (including the whole polytope as one of the faces), there is exactly one vertex for which all adjoining edges are oriented inward (i.e. towards that vertex). If a polytope is given together with a linear objective function, and edges are oriented from vertices with smaller objective function values to vertices with larger objective values, the result is a unique sink orientation. Thus, unique sink orientations can be used to model linear programs as well as certain nonlinear programs such as the smallest circle problem. In hypercubes The problem of finding the sink in a unique sink orientation of a hypercube was formulated as an abstraction of linear complementarity problems by and it was termed "unique sink orientation" in 2001 . It is possible for an algorithm to determine the unique sink of a -dimensional hypercube in time for , substantially smaller than the time required to examine all vertices. When the orientation has the additional property that the orientation forms a directed acyclic graph, which happens when unique sink orientations are used to model LP-type problems, it is possible to find the sink using a randomized algorithm in expected time exponential in the square root of d . In simple polytopes A simple d-dimensional polytope is a polytope in which every vertex has exactly d incident edges. In a unique-sink orientation of a simple polytope, every subset of k incoming edges at a vertex v determines a k-dimensional face for which v is the unique sink. Therefore, the number of faces of all dimensions of the polytope (including the polytope itself, but not the empty set) can be computed by the sum of the number of subsets of incoming edges, where G(P) is the graph of the polytope, and din(v) is the in-degree (number of incoming edges) of a vertex v in the given orientation . More generally, for any orientation of a simple polytope, the same sum counts the number of incident pairs of a face of the polytope and a sink of the face. And in an acyclic orientation, every face must have at least one sink. Therefore, an acyclic orientation is a unique sink orientation if and only if there is no other acyclic orientation with a smaller sum. Additionally, a k-regular subgraph of the given graph forms a face of the polytope if and only if its vertices form a lower set for at least one acyclic unique sink orientation. In this way, the face lattice of the polytope is uniquely determined from the graph . Based on this structure, the face lattices of simple polytopes can be reconstructed from their graphs in polynomial time using linear programming . References . . . . . . .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom%20Whiteside
Derek Thomas Whiteside FBA (23 July 1932 – 22 April 2008) was a British historian of mathematics. Biography In 1954 Whiteside graduated from Bristol University with a B.A. having studied French, Latin, mathematics and philosophy. He had spent part of 1952 studying at the Sorbonne. In 1956 he began graduate study with Richard Braithwaite who referred him to Michael Hoskin (1930–2021). In 1959 he submitted the manuscript "Mathematical patterns of thought in the late seventeenth century" to Hoskin who submitted it to Archive for History of Exact Sciences for publication. Hoskin and Whiteside were joined by Adolf Prag (1906–2004) to edit the eight volume Mathematical Papers of Isaac Newton (1967 to 1981). Reviewing first volume of the work, Christoph Scriba wrote, "...must be praised the extraordinary care and conscientiousness of the editor who collected, organized, transcribed and edited the wealth of material in a superb way." According to Carl Boyer, "Historians of science in general, and Newtonian scholars in particular, owe a heavy debt of gratitude to Dr Whiteside for the altogether exemplary manner in which he is making available to us the ample evidence concerning the making of one of the world's three greatest mathematicians." Boyer also notes that "Rene Descartes and two Hollanders, Hudde and van Schooten, are cited more frequently than are Barrow and Wallis", discounting the notion that Isaac Barrow was Newton's teacher. Rosalind Tanner described the beginning of volume one: "the Preface, Editorial Note, General Introduction, and brief Forward to Volume 1, providing in turn the story of the undertaking, the how and why of the presentation, the history of the Newton manuscripts, and the scope of this Volume 1, and each in its way a notable achievement." Tanner also reviewed volume 2 and its concern with Gerhard Kinckhuysen's Dutch textbook on algebra, partially translated into Latin by Nicholas Mercator, and worked on by Newton until the project was abandoned in 1676. In 1969 Whiteside became Assistant Director of Research in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at Cambridge University. He also was Senior Research Fellow at Churchill College. He was elected Fellow of the British Academy in 1975 and promoted to Reader at Cambridge the following year. In 1987 he moved to the department of Pure Mathematics, but his health began to fail. In 1992 Cambridge organized a festschrift in his honour: The Investigation of Difficult Things. Tom and Ruth Whiteside had two children, Simon and Philippa, to whom volume 8 of Mathematical Papers of Isaac Newton was dedicated. Whiteside retired in 1999 and died on 22 April 2008. Isaac Newton Whiteside wrote a 19-page non-technical account, Newton the Mathematician. In this essay he describes Newton's mathematical development starting in secondary school. Whiteside says that the most important influence on Newton's mathematical development was Book II of René Descartes's La Géométrie. Boo

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametrix
In mathematics, and specifically the field of partial differential equations (PDEs), a parametrix is an approximation to a fundamental solution of a PDE, and is essentially an approximate inverse to a differential operator. A parametrix for a differential operator is often easier to construct than a fundamental solution, and for many purposes is almost as good. It is sometimes possible to construct a fundamental solution from a parametrix by iteratively improving it. Overview and informal definition It is useful to review what a fundamental solution for a differential operator with constant coefficients is: it is a distribution on ℝn such that in the weak sense, where is the Dirac delta distribution. In a similar way, a parametrix for a variable coefficient differential operator is a distribution such that where is some function with compact support. The parametrix is a useful concept in the study of elliptic differential operators and, more generally, of hypoelliptic pseudodifferential operators with variable coefficient, since for such operators over appropriate domains a parametrix can be shown to exist, can be somewhat easily constructed and be a smooth function away from the origin. Having found the analytic expression of the parametrix, it is possible to compute the solution of the associated fairly general elliptic partial differential equation by solving an associated Fredholm integral equation: also, the structure itself of the parametrix reveals properties of the solution of the problem without even calculating it, like its smoothness and other qualitative properties. Parametrices for pseudodifferential operators More generally, if is any pseudodifferential operator of order , then another pseudodifferential operator of order is called a parametrix for if the operators are both pseudodifferential operators of negative order. The operators and will admit continuous extensions to maps between the Sobolev spaces and . On a compact manifold, the differences above are compact operators. In this case the original operator defines a Fredholm operator between the Sobolev spaces. Hadamard parametrix construction An explicit construction of a parametrix for second order partial differential operators based on power series developments was discovered by Jacques Hadamard. It can be applied to the Laplace operator, the wave equation and the heat equation. In the case of the heat equation or the wave equation, where there is a distinguished time parameter , Hadamard's method consists in taking the fundamental solution of the constant coefficient differential operator obtained freezing the coefficients at a fixed point and seeking a general solution as a product of this solution, as the point varies, by a formal power series in . The constant term is 1 and the higher coefficients are functions determined recursively as integrals in a single variable. In general, the power series will not converge but w
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone%20algorithm
In computational geometry, the cone algorithm is an algorithm for identifying the particles that are near the surface of an object composed of discrete particles. Its applications include computational surface science and computational nano science. The cone algorithm was first described in a publication about nanogold in 2005. The cone algorithm works well with clusters in condensed phases, including solid and liquid phases. It can handle the situations when one configuration includes multiple clusters or when holes exist inside clusters. It can also be applied to a cluster iteratively to identify multiple sub-surface layers. References Yanting Wang, S.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hutchinson%20operator
In mathematics, in the study of fractals, a Hutchinson operator is the collective action of a set of contractions, called an iterated function system. The iteration of the operator converges to a unique attractor, which is the often self-similar fixed set of the operator. Definition Let be an iterated function system, or a set of contractions from a compact set to itself. The operator is defined over subsets as A key question is to describe the attractors of this operator, which are compact sets. One way of generating such a set is to start with an initial compact set (which can be a single point, called a seed) and iterate as follows and taking the limit, the iteration converges to the attractor Properties Hutchinson showed in 1981 the existence and uniqueness of the attractor . The proof follows by showing that the Hutchinson operator is contractive on the set of compact subsets of in the Hausdorff distance. The collection of functions together with composition form a monoid. With N functions, then one may visualize the monoid as a full N-ary tree or a Cayley tree. References Fractals
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trimmed%20estimator
In statistics, a trimmed estimator is an estimator derived from another estimator by excluding some of the extreme values, a process called truncation. This is generally done to obtain a more robust statistic, and the extreme values are considered outliers. Trimmed estimators also often have higher efficiency for mixture distributions and heavy-tailed distributions than the corresponding untrimmed estimator, at the cost of lower efficiency for other distributions, such as the normal distribution. Given an estimator, the x% trimmed version is obtained by discarding the x% lowest or highest observations or on both end: it is a statistic on the middle of the data. For instance, the 5% trimmed mean is obtained by taking the mean of the 5% to 95% range. In some cases a trimmed estimator discards a fixed number of points (such as maximum and minimum) instead of a percentage. Examples The median is the most trimmed statistic (nominally 50%), as it discards all but the most central data, and equals the fully trimmed mean – or indeed fully trimmed mid-range, or (for odd-size data sets) the fully trimmed maximum or minimum. Likewise, no degree of trimming has any effect on the median – a trimmed median is the median – because trimming always excludes an equal number of the lowest and highest values. Quantiles can be thought of as trimmed maxima or minima: for instance, the 5th percentile is the 5% trimmed minimum. Trimmed estimators used to estimate a location parameter include: Trimmed mean Modified mean, discarding the minimum and maximum values Interquartile mean, the 25% trimmed mean Midhinge, the 25% trimmed mid-range Trimmed estimators used to estimate a scale parameter include: Interquartile range, the 25% trimmed range Interdecile range, the 10% trimmed range Trimmed estimators involving only linear combinations of points are examples of L-estimators. Applications Estimation Most often, trimmed estimators are used for parameter estimation of the same parameter as the untrimmed estimator. In some cases the estimator can be used directly, while in other cases it must be adjusted to yield an unbiased consistent estimator. For example, when estimating a location parameter for a symmetric distribution, a trimmed estimator will be unbiased (assuming the original estimator was unbiased), as it removes the same amount above and below. However, if the distribution has skew, trimmed estimators will generally be biased and require adjustment. For example, in a skewed distribution, the nonparametric skew (and Pearson's skewness coefficients) measure the bias of the median as an estimator of the mean. When estimating a scale parameter, using a trimmed estimator as a robust measures of scale, such as to estimate the population variance or population standard deviation, one generally must multiply by a scale factor to make it an unbiased consistent estimator; see scale parameter: estimation. For example, dividing the IQR by (using the error funct
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulus%20%28algebraic%20number%20theory%29
In mathematics, in the field of algebraic number theory, a modulus (plural moduli) (or cycle, or extended ideal) is a formal product of places of a global field (i.e. an algebraic number field or a global function field). It is used to encode ramification data for abelian extensions of a global field. Definition Let K be a global field with ring of integers R. A modulus is a formal product where p runs over all places of K, finite or infinite, the exponents ν(p) are zero except for finitely many p. If K is a number field, ν(p) = 0 or 1 for real places and ν(p) = 0 for complex places. If K is a function field, ν(p) = 0 for all infinite places. In the function field case, a modulus is the same thing as an effective divisor, and in the number field case, a modulus can be considered as special form of Arakelov divisor. The notion of congruence can be extended to the setting of moduli. If a and b are elements of K×, the definition of a ≡∗b (mod pν) depends on what type of prime p is: if it is finite, then where ordp is the normalized valuation associated to p; if it is a real place (of a number field) and ν = 1, then under the real embedding associated to p. if it is any other infinite place, there is no condition. Then, given a modulus m, a ≡∗b (mod m) if a ≡∗b (mod pν(p)) for all p such that ν(p) > 0. Ray class group The ray modulo m is A modulus m can be split into two parts, mf and m∞, the product over the finite and infinite places, respectively. Let Im to be one of the following: if K is a number field, the subgroup of the group of fractional ideals generated by ideals coprime to mf; if K is a function field of an algebraic curve over k, the group of divisors, rational over k, with support away from m. In both case, there is a group homomorphism i : Km,1 → Im obtained by sending a to the principal ideal (resp. divisor) (a). The ray class group modulo m is the quotient Cm = Im / i(Km,1). A coset of i(Km,1) is called a ray class modulo m. Erich Hecke's original definition of Hecke characters may be interpreted in terms of characters of the ray class group with respect to some modulus m. Properties When K is a number field, the following properties hold. When m = 1, the ray class group is just the ideal class group. The ray class group is finite. Its order is the ray class number. The ray class number is divisible by the class number of K. Notes References Algebraic number theory

The primary health care facilities in the village itself are designated by the Ministry of Health as level 1 and at nearby Yatta as level 3. History Iron Age Zif is identified with the biblical town of Ziph. It appears several times in the Hebrew Bible as a town in the vicinity of Hebron that belongs to Tribe of Judah (). The nearby "Wilderness of Ziph" is mentioned as a place where David hides himself from Saul (). Later, the town of Ziph is said to be fortified by Rehoboam (). Its name was found on a number of royal Judahite LMLK seals along with those of Hebron, Socoh and MMST. Iron Age remains were found in the nearby tell. Classical Era Zif existed as a village in the Roman era. It had a Jewish population until at least the 4th century, but it became Christian during the Byzantine period. The remains of a Byzantine-era Christian communal church have been discovered at Zif. Pot sherds from the Byzantine era have also been found here. Ottoman Era In 1838 Edward Robinson was the first to identify the village Zif and its adjacent Tell Zif with the biblical town of Ziph. In 1863 Victor Guérin visited and described the ruins. In 1874 surveyors from the PEF Survey of Palestine visited, and noted about Tell ez Zif: "A large mound, partly natural; on the north side a quarry; on the south are tombs. One of these has a single chamber, with a broad bench running round; on the back wall are three kokim with arched roofs, the arches pointed on the left side wall; at the back is another similar koka. A second tomb was a chamber, 8 feet to the back, 9 feet wide, with three recesses, one on each side, one at the back; they are merely shelves, 8 feet by 5 feet, raised some 2 feet. This tomb has a porch in front, supported by two square rock-cut piers. Zif Today Zif has been under Israeli occupation since 1967. In September 2002, a bomb filled with screws and nails, planted by Jewish settlers, exploded in the village's school, wounding five children. A second bomb was found by the school's principal and was detonated by Israeli bomb experts.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-Laplacian
In mathematics, the p-Laplacian, or the p-Laplace operator, is a quasilinear elliptic partial differential operator of 2nd order. It is a nonlinear generalization of the Laplace operator, where is allowed to range over . It is written as Where the is defined as In the special case when , this operator reduces to the usual Laplacian. In general solutions of equations involving the p-Laplacian do not have second order derivatives in classical sense, thus solutions to these equations have to be understood as weak solutions. For example, we say that a function u belonging to the Sobolev space is a weak solution of if for every test function we have where denotes the standard scalar product. Energy formulation The weak solution of the p-Laplace equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions in a domain is the minimizer of the energy functional among all functions in the Sobolev space satisfying the boundary conditions in the trace sense. In the particular case and is a ball of radius 1, the weak solution of the problem above can be explicitly computed and is given by where is a suitable constant depending on the dimension and on only. Observe that for the solution is not twice differentiable in classical sense. Notes Sources Further reading .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold%20Buffum%20Chace
Arnold Buffum Chace (November 10, 1845 – February 28, 1932) was an American textile businessman, mathematics scholar, and eleventh chancellor of Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. Family Arnold was born November 10, 1845, in Cumberland, Rhode Island. His paternal grandfather Oliver Chace was founder of the Valley Falls textile company, which later became Berkshire Hathaway. His parents Samuel Buffington Chace and Elizabeth Buffum Chace were Quakers and prominent anti-slavery activists. His maternal grandfather, Arnold Buffum, was president of the New England Anti-Slavery Society. His sister Lillie became an author and social reformer. Arnold married Eliza Chace Greene, daughter of Christopher A. and Sarah A. Greene, on October 24, 1871. Their three children were: Malcolm Greene Chace, Edward Gould Chace, cotton manufacturer, and Margaret Chace, wife of Russell S. Rowland, M.D. of Detroit, MI. Academics Arnold Buffum Chace received his bachelor's degree from Brown University in 1866 and a Doctor of Science from Brown in 1892. He also studied for one year at the École de Médecine in Paris. Chace taught physics and mathematics for one term at Brown (1868–69), before having to interrupt his career to handle the family textile business. He remained involved in leadership at Brown for most of his life. In 1876, he was elected trustee; in 1882 he became treasurer; and in 1907 he was elected Chancellor. Chace's lifelong passion was mathematics. He wrote many articles on mathematical subjects, including one called "A Certain Class of Cubic Surfaces Treated by Quaternions" in the Journal of Mathematics. He attended the International Mathematical Congress at Cambridge, England in 1912. Chace published his work on the Egyptian Rhind Papyrus in 1927 and 1929, at age 87. Business and banking His academic career was interrupted in 1869, when he became responsible for his family's cotton mill on the death of a family member. In 1871, he became a director of Westminster Bank, and in 1894 he became its president. He was also a director of the National Bank of North America. During this time, he managed to attend mathematics classes at Harvard once a week. Death and burial Chace died in Providence, Rhode Island, on February 28, 1932 and is buried at Swan Point Cemetery.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourier%20transform%20on%20finite%20groups
In mathematics, the Fourier transform on finite groups is a generalization of the discrete Fourier transform from cyclic to arbitrary finite groups. Definitions The Fourier transform of a function at a representation of is For each representation of , is a matrix, where is the degree of . The inverse Fourier transform at an element of is given by Properties Transform of a convolution The convolution of two functions is defined as The Fourier transform of a convolution at any representation of is given by Plancherel formula For functions , the Plancherel formula states where are the irreducible representations of . Fourier transform for finite abelian groups If the group G is a finite abelian group, the situation simplifies considerably: all irreducible representations are of degree 1 and hence equal to the irreducible characters of the group. Thus the matrix-valued Fourier transform becomes scalar-valued in this case. The set of irreducible G-representations has a natural group structure in its own right, which can be identified with the group of group homomorphisms from G to . This group is known as the Pontryagin dual of G. The Fourier transform of a function is the function given by The inverse Fourier transform is then given by For , a choice of a primitive n-th root of unity yields an isomorphism given by . In the literature, the common choice is , which explains the formula given in the article about the discrete Fourier transform. However, such an isomorphism is not canonical, similarly to the situation that a finite-dimensional vector space is isomorphic to its dual, but giving an isomorphism requires choosing a basis. A property that is often useful in probability is that the Fourier transform of the uniform distribution is simply , where 0 is the group identity and is the Kronecker delta. Fourier Transform can also be done on cosets of a group. Relationship with representation theory There is a direct relationship between the Fourier transform on finite groups and the representation theory of finite groups. The set of complex-valued functions on a finite group, , together with the operations of pointwise addition and convolution, form a ring that is naturally identified with the group ring of over the complex numbers, . Modules of this ring are the same thing as representations. Maschke's theorem implies that is a semisimple ring, so by the Artin–Wedderburn theorem it decomposes as a direct product of matrix rings. The Fourier transform on finite groups explicitly exhibits this decomposition, with a matrix ring of dimension for each irreducible representation. More specifically, the Peter-Weyl theorem (for finite groups) states that there is an isomorphism given by The left hand side is the group algebra of G. The direct sum is over a complete set of inequivalent irreducible G-representations . The Fourier transform for a finite group is just this isomorphism. The product formula mentioned ab

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans-Egon%20Richert
Hans-Egon Richert (June 2, 1924 – November 25, 1993) was a German mathematician who worked primarily in analytic number theory. He is the author (with Heini Halberstam) of a definitive book on sieve theory. Life and education Hans-Egon Richert was born in 1924 in Hamburg, Germany. He attended the University of Hamburg and received his Ph.D under Max Deuring in 1950. He held a temporary chair at the University of Göttingen and then a newly created chair at the University of Marburg. In 1972 he moved to the University of Ulm, where he remained until his retirement in 1991. He died on November 25, 1993 in Blaustein, near Ulm, Germany. Work Richert worked primarily in analytic number theory, and beginning around 1965 started a collaboration with Heini Halberstam and shifted his focus to sieve theory. For many years he was a chairman of the Analytic Number Theory meetings at the Mathematical Research Institute of Oberwolfach. Analytic number theory Richert made contributions to additive number theory, Dirichlet series, Riesz summability, the multiplicative analog of the Erdős–Fuchs theorem, estimates of the number of non-isomorphic abelian groups, and bounds for exponential sums. He proved the exponent 15/46 for the Dirichlet divisor problem, a record that stood for many years. Sieve methods One of Richert's notable results was the Jurkat–Richert theorem, joint work with Wolfgang B. Jurkat that improved the Selberg sieve and is used in the proof of Chen's theorem. Richert also produced a "readable form" of Chen's theorem (it is covered in the last chapter of Sieve Methods). Halberstam & Richert's book Sieve Methods was the first exhaustive account of the subject. In reviewing the book in 1976, Hugh Montgomery wrote "In the past, researchers have generally derived the sieve bounds required for an application, but now workers will find that usually an appeal to an appropriate theorem of Sieve methods will suffice," and "For years to come, Sieve methods will be vital to those seeking to work in the subject, and also to those seeking to make applications."

In mathematics, Hermite numbers are values of Hermite polynomials at zero argument. Typically they are defined for physicists' Hermite polynomials. Formal definition The numbers Hn = Hn(0), where Hn(x) is a Hermite polynomial of order n, may be called Hermite numbers. The first Hermite numbers are: Recursion relations Are obtained from recursion relations of Hermitian polynomials for x = 0: Since H0 = 1 and H1 = 0 one can construct a closed formula for Hn: where (n - 1)!! = 1 × 3 × ... × (n - 1). Usage From the generating function of Hermitian polynomials it follows that Reference gives a formal power series: where formally the n-th power of H, Hn, is the n-th Hermite number, Hn.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erd%C5%91s%E2%80%93Fuchs%20theorem
In mathematics, in the area of additive number theory, the Erdős–Fuchs theorem is a statement about the number of ways that numbers can be represented as a sum of elements of a given additive basis, stating that the average order of this number cannot be too close to being a linear function. The theorem is named after Paul Erdős and Wolfgang Heinrich Johannes Fuchs, who published it in 1956. Statement Let be an infinite subset of the natural numbers and its representation function, which denotes the number of ways that a natural number can be expressed as the sum of elements of (taking order into account). We then consider the accumulated representation function which counts (also taking order into account) the number of solutions to , where . The theorem then states that, for any given , the relation cannot be satisfied; that is, there is no satisfying the above estimate. Theorems of Erdős–Fuchs type The Erdős–Fuchs theorem has an interesting history of precedents and generalizations. In 1915, it was already known by G. H. Hardy that in the case of the sequence of perfect squares one has This estimate is a little better than that described by Erdős–Fuchs, but at the cost of a slight loss of precision, P. Erdős and W. H. J. Fuchs achieved complete generality in their result (at least for the case ). Another reason this result is so celebrated may be due to the fact that, in 1941, P. Erdős and P. Turán conjectured that, subject to the same hypotheses as in the theorem stated, the relation could not hold. This fact remained unproven until 1956, when Erdős and Fuchs obtained their theorem, which is even stronger than the previously conjectured estimate. Improved versions for h = 2 This theorem has been extended in a number of different directions. In 1980, A. Sárközy considered two sequences which are "near" in some sense. He proved the following: Theorem (Sárközy, 1980). If and are two infinite subsets of natural numbers with , then cannot hold for any constant . In 1990, H. L. Montgomery and R. C. Vaughan were able to remove the log from the right-hand side of Erdős–Fuchs original statement, showing that cannot hold. In 2004, Gábor Horváth extended both these results, proving the following: Theorem (Horváth, 2004). If and are infinite subsets of natural numbers with and , then cannot hold for any constant . General case (h ≥ 2) The natural generalization to Erdős–Fuchs theorem, namely for , is known to hold with same strength as the Montgomery–Vaughan's version. In fact, M. Tang showed in 2009 that, in the same conditions as in the original statement of Erdős–Fuchs, for every the relation cannot hold. In another direction, in 2002, Gábor Horváth gave a precise generalization of Sárközy's 1980 result, showing that Theorem (Horváth, 2002) If () are (at least two) infinite subsets of natural numbers and the following estimates are valid: <li> <li> (for ) then the relation: cannot hold for any constant .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MathPath
MathPath is a mathematics enrichment summer program for students ages 11–14 (middle-school age in the US). It is four weeks long, and moves to a different location each year. MathPath is visited by mathematicians such as John H. Conway and Francis Su. It was probably the original, and is still one of the few, international residential high-end summer camps exclusively for mathematics and exclusively for students of middle school age. History MathPath was founded in 2002 by George Rubin Thomas, who had previously founded Mathcamp for high school students and has since founded Epsiloncamp for children age 7–11 (in 2011, originally aged 8–11) and Delta Camp for children 6 and 7 (in 2014 and 2015, now merged with Epsilon Camp). His goal was to inspire and advance the most mathematically gifted middle school age students, through a summer camp. Subjects At MathPath, students learn about many math topics that are rarely taught in American schools, or taught in much depth, such as non-Euclidean geometry, advanced Euclidean geometry, number theory, combinatorics, induction, spherical trigonometry, mathematical origami, and the mathematics of card shuffling. They also learn some history of math and work on mathematical writing. Topics vary somewhat each year, depending on instructor interest. As well, students have the opportunity to prepare for contests such as MATHCOUNTS, AMC, or AIME. Staff Some staff are regular annual participants. Usually they come for 2–4 weeks, but a few come for only one week. Notable regular staff include the late John Horton Conway, Sam Vandervelde, and Glen Van Brummelen. Visiting staff are participants for one year or occasional years. Usually they attend for one week or a day or two to give a few lectures. Often, they are faculty at the host institution or nearby institutions. Notable visiting mathematicians have included Gene Abrams and Robin Hartshorne. Admissions MathPath is selective. The primary criterion for admission is the applicant's work on the yearly Qualifying Test, though academic and nonacademic references are also required.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfeffer%20integral
In mathematics, the Pfeffer integral is an integration technique created by Washek Pfeffer as an attempt to extend the Henstock–Kurzweil integral to a multidimensional domain. This was to be done in such a way that the fundamental theorem of calculus would apply analogously to the theorem in one dimension, with as few preconditions on the function under consideration as possible. The integral also permits analogues of the chain rule and other theorems of the integral calculus for higher dimensions. Definition The construction is based on the Henstock or gauge integral, however Pfeffer proved that the integral, at least in the one dimensional case, is less general than the Henstock integral. It relies on what Pfeffer refers to as a set of bounded variation, this is equivalent to a Caccioppoli set. The Riemann sums of the Pfeffer integral are taken over partitions made up of such sets, rather than intervals as in the Riemann or Henstock integrals. A gauge is used, exactly as in the Henstock integral, except that the gauge function may be zero on a negligible set. Properties Pfeffer defined a notion of generalized absolute continuity , close to but not equal to the definition of a function being , and proved that a function is Pfeffer integrable if it is the derivative of an function. He also proved a chain rule for the Pfeffer integral. In one dimension his work as well as similarities between the Pfeffer integral and the McShane integral indicate that the integral is more general than the Lebesgue integral and yet less general than the Henstock–Kurzweil integral.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor%20Shestakov
Victor Ivanovich Shestakov (Russian: ) (1907–1987) was a Russian/Soviet logician and theoretician of electrical engineering. In 1935 he discovered the possible interpretation of Boolean algebra of logic in electro-mechanical relay circuits. He graduated from Moscow State University (1934) and worked there in the General Physics Department almost until his death. Shestakov proposed a theory of electric switches based on Boolean logic earlier than Claude Shannon (according to certification of Soviet logicians and mathematicians Sofya Yanovskaya, M. G. Gaaze-Rapoport, Roland Dobrushin, Oleg Lupanov, Yu. A. Gastev, Yu. T. Medvedev, and Vladimir Andreevich Uspensky), though Shestakov and Shannon defended Theses the same year (1938) and the first publication of Shestakov's result took place only in 1941 (in Russian). In the early 20th century, relay circuits began to be more widely used in automatics, defense of electric and communications systems. Every relay circuit schema for practical use was a distinct invention, because the general principle of simulation of these systems was not known. Shestakov's credit (and independently later Claude Shannon's) is the general theory of logical simulation, inspired by the rapidly increasing complexity of technical demands. Logical simulation requires solid mathematical foundations. Namely these foundations were originally established by Shestakov. Shestakov set forth an algebraic logic model of electrical two-pole switches (later three- and four-pole switches) with series and parallel connections of schematic elements (resistors, capacitors, magnets, inductive coils, etc.). Resistance of these elements could take arbitrary values on the real-number line, and upon the two-element set {0, ∞} this degenerates into the bivalent Boolean algebra of logic. Shestakov may be considered as a forerunner of combinatorial logic and its application (and, hence, Boolean algebra of logic as well) in electric engineering, the 'language' of which is broad enough to simulate non-electrical objects of any conceivable physical nature. He was a pioneer of study of merged continual algebraic logic (parametrical) and topological (structural) models.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact%20stencil
In mathematics, especially in the areas of numerical analysis called numerical partial differential equations, a compact stencil is a type of stencil that uses only nine nodes for its discretization method in two dimensions. It uses only the center node and the adjacent nodes. For any structured grid utilizing a compact stencil in 1, 2, or 3 dimensions the maximum number of nodes is 3, 9, or 27 respectively. Compact stencils may be compared to non-compact stencils. Compact stencils are currently implemented in many partial differential equation solvers, including several in the topics of CFD, FEA, and other mathematical solvers relating to PDE's. Two Point Stencil Example The two point stencil for the first derivative of a function is given by: . This is obtained from the Taylor series expansion of the first derivative of the function given by: . Replacing with , we have: . Addition of the above two equations together results in the cancellation of the terms in odd powers of : . . . Three Point Stencil Example For example, the three point stencil for the second derivative of a function is given by: . This is obtained from the Taylor series expansion of the first derivative of the function given by: . Replacing with , we have: . Subtraction of the above two equations results in the cancellation of the terms in even powers of : . . .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-compact%20stencil
In numerical mathematics, a non-compact stencil is a type of discretization method, where any node surrounding the node of interest may be used in the calculation. Its computational time grows with an increase of layers of nodes used. Non-compact stencils may be compared to Compact stencils.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stencil%20%28numerical%20analysis%29
In mathematics, especially the areas of numerical analysis concentrating on the numerical solution of partial differential equations, a stencil is a geometric arrangement of a nodal group that relate to the point of interest by using a numerical approximation routine. Stencils are the basis for many algorithms to numerically solve partial differential equations (PDE). Two examples of stencils are the five-point stencil and the Crank–Nicolson method stencil. Stencils are classified into two categories: compact and non-compact, the difference being the layers from the point of interest that are also used for calculation. In the notation used for one-dimensional stencils n-1, n, n+1 indicate the time steps where timestep n and n-1 have known solutions and time step n+1 is to be calculated. The spatial location of finite volumes used in the calculation are indicated by j-1, j and j+1. Etymology Graphical representations of node arrangements and their coefficients arose early in the study of PDEs. Authors continue to use varying terms for these such as "relaxation patterns", "operating instructions", "lozenges", or "point patterns". The term "stencil" was coined for such patterns to reflect the concept of laying out a stencil in the usual sense over a computational grid to reveal just the numbers needed at a particular step. Calculation of coefficients The finite difference coefficients for a given stencil are fixed by the choice of node points. The coefficients may be calculated by taking the derivative of the Lagrange polynomial interpolating between the node points, by computing the Taylor expansion around each node point and solving a linear system, or by enforcing that the stencil is exact for monomials up to the degree of the stencil. For equi-spaced nodes, they may be calculated efficiently as the Padé approximant of , where is the order of the stencil and is the ratio of the distance between the leftmost derivative and the left function entries divided by the grid spacing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bingham%20distribution
In statistics, the Bingham distribution, named after Christopher Bingham, is an antipodally symmetric probability distribution on the n-sphere. It is a generalization of the Watson distribution and a special case of the Kent and Fisher–Bingham distributions. The Bingham distribution is widely used in paleomagnetic data analysis, and has been used in the field of computer vision. Its probability density function is given by which may also be written where x is an axis (i.e., a unit vector), M is an orthogonal orientation matrix, Z is a diagonal concentration matrix, and is a confluent hypergeometric function of matrix argument. The matrices M and Z are the result of diagonalizing the positive-definite covariance matrix of the Gaussian distribution that underlies the Bingham distribution.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koreans%20in%20Chile
Koreans in Chile (Spanish: Coreanos en Chile) (Korean: 칠레 한국인) formed Latin America's sixth-largest Korean diaspora community , according to the statistics of South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. Migration history The earliest Korean migrants to Chile were soldiers of the North Korean army captured by United Nations forces, who declined repatriation after the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement and came to Chile under the auspices of the Red Cross. They were resettled in the city of Temuco. Immigration from South Korea to Chile would not begin until 1970, when five families came to work in the floriculture sector. Three more families came by way of Bolivia in 1975 and another ten in 1976. By 1978, the year of the founding of the Asociación Coreana de Chile, there were between twenty and thirty Korean families residing in Chile. In 1978, twenty Korean families founded a school, the Colegio Coreano, with the assistances of the Presbyterian Church to offer weekend courses in Korean language, culture and history to Korean children in Chile. Most of the families immigrating in those days actually had Argentina as their final destination, and intended to reside in Chile only as long as it took them to obtain an Argentine visa, but as Argentina required prospective immigrants to have at least US$30,000 in capital, many found themselves unable to qualify; they instead settled in Chile, where the requirement was merely one-sixth that amount. Many settled in the Barrio Patronato, a traditionally immigrant-dominated neighbourhood then filled largely with Arabs. They started out in the textile manufacturing sector, but along with Chile's shift away from an import substitution-oriented economic model, they turned to opening shops and importing clothing and other products from their homeland instead. Between 1997 and 2005, the Korean population of Chile grew by one-quarter, from 1,470 to 1,858 individuals, surpassing in size the community of Koreans in Peru. Afterwards, the population continued to grow, to 2,510 by 2011. South Korean governments showed a total of 48 ethnic Koreans with Chilean nationality, 2,366 with permanent residency, seven international students, and 119 with other types of visas. Inter-ethnic relations Koreans in Chile are respected by Chileans of other backgrounds for their work ethic, but are perceived as a very closed community, especially with regards to interracial marriage. The Korean shops of Patronato are well known for their low prices and diverse products but some Chileans and competitors feel some envy towards the commercial success of Koreans in their country. At the same time, however, Chileans have respect for the rapid economic development undertaken by South Korea. On the other hand, Koreans in Chile often perceive Chileans as superficial in their friendships, lazy, irresponsible, and somewhat racist. Religion Among the Korean community in Chile, Protestantism is the majority religion; Patronato

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest%20Michael
Ernest A. Michael (August 26, 1925 – April 29, 2013) was a prominent American mathematician known for his work in the field of general topology, most notably for his pioneering research on set-valued mappings. He is credited with developing the theory of continuous selections. The Michael selection theorem is named for him, which he proved in . Michael is also known in topology for the Michael line, a paracompact space whose product with the topological space of the irrational numbers is not normal. He wrote over 100 papers, mostly in the area of general topology. Michael was born in Zürich, Switzerland, August 26, 1925, to Ashkenazi Jewish parents, Jacob and Erna Michael. He lived in Berlin, Germany, until 1932. Anticipating the burgeoning threat of Nazism, his family moved to The Hague, Netherlands, and then to New York in 1939. Michael attended Horace Mann High School, graduating at age 15. His undergraduate career at Cornell University was interrupted when he enlisted in the United States Navy (1944–46), where he served aboard the USS Kwajalein. He returned to Cornell, where he received his B.A. in 1947. He earned his M.A. from Harvard University in 1948, and Ph.D. from The University of Chicago in 1951, writing his dissertation titled Locally Multiplicatively-Convex Topological Algebras under the supervision of Irving Segal. Michael was a member of the Department of Mathematics at the University of Washington (assistant professor 1952–56, associate professor 1956–60, professor 1960) for over 40 years, from 1952 until his retirement in 1993. He was also a visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study (1951–52, 1956–57, 1960–61, 1968–69), ETH Zurich (1973–74) and University of Stuttgart (1978–79). In 2012 he became an inaugural fellow of the American Mathematical Society. Michael died in 2013 at the age of 87.
