https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multibrot%20set
In mathematics, a Multibrot set is the set of values in the complex plane whose absolute value remains below some finite value throughout iterations by a member of the general monic univariate polynomial family of recursions. The name is a portmanteau of multiple and Mandelbrot set. The same can be applied to the Julia set, this being called Multijulia set. where d ≥ 2. The exponent d may be further generalized to negative and fractional values. Examples The case of is the classic Mandelbrot set from which the name is derived. The sets for other values of d also show fractal images when they are plotted on the complex plane. Each of the examples of various powers d shown below is plotted to the same scale. Values of c belonging to the set are black. Values of c that have unbounded value under recursion, and thus do not belong in the set, are plotted in different colours, that show as contours, depending on the number of recursions that caused a value to exceed a fixed magnitude in the Escape Time algorithm. Positive powers The example is the original Mandelbrot set. The examples for are often called multibrot sets. These sets include the origin and have fractal perimeters, with rotational symmetry. Negative powers When d is negative the set appears to surround but does not include the origin, However this is just an artifact of the fixed maximum radius allowed by the Escape Time algorithm, and is not a limit of the sets that actually have a shape in the middle with an no hole (You can see this by using the Lyapunov exponent [No hole because the origin diverges to undefined not infinity because the origin {0 or 0+0i} taken to a negative power becomes undefined]). There is interesting complex behaviour in the contours between the set and the origin, in a star-shaped area with rotational symmetry. The sets appear to have a circular perimeter, however this is just an artifact of the fixed maximum radius allowed by the Escape Time algorithm, and is not a limit of the sets that actually extend in all directions to infinity. Fractional powers Rendering along the exponent An alternative method is to render the exponent along the vertical axis. This requires either fixing the real or the imaginary value, and rendering the remaining value along the horizontal axis. The resulting set rises vertically from the origin in a narrow column to infinity. Magnification reveals increasing complexity. The first prominent bump or spike is seen at an exponent of 2, the location of the traditional Mandelbrot set at its cross-section. The third image here renders on a plane that is fixed at a 45-degree angle between the real and imaginary axes. Rendering images All the above images are rendered using an Escape Time algorithm that identifies points outside the set in a simple way. Much greater fractal detail is revealed by plotting the Lyapunov exponent, as shown by the example below. The Lyapunov exponent is the error growth-rate of a given sequence.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact%20statistics
Exact statistics, such as that described in exact test, is a branch of statistics that was developed to provide more accurate results pertaining to statistical testing and interval estimation by eliminating procedures based on asymptotic and approximate statistical methods. The main characteristic of exact methods is that statistical tests and confidence intervals are based on exact probability statements that are valid for any sample size. Exact statistical methods help avoid some of the unreasonable assumptions of traditional statistical methods, such as the assumption of equal variances in classical ANOVA. They also allow exact inference on variance components of mixed models. When exact p-values and confidence intervals are computed under a certain distribution, such as the normal distribution, then the underlying methods are referred to as exact parametric methods. The exact methods that do not make any distributional assumptions are referred to as exact nonparametric methods. The latter has the advantage of making fewer assumptions whereas, the former tend to yield more powerful tests when the distributional assumption is reasonable. For advanced methods such as higher-way ANOVA regression analysis, and mixed models, only exact parametric methods are available. When the sample size is small, asymptotic results given by some traditional methods may not be valid. In such situations, the asymptotic p-values may differ substantially from the exact p-values. Hence asymptotic and other approximate results may lead to unreliable and misleading conclusions. The approach All classical statistical procedures are constructed using statistics which depend only on observable random vectors, whereas generalized estimators, tests, and confidence intervals used in exact statistics take advantage of the observable random vectors and the observed values both, as in the Bayesian approach but without having to treat constant parameters as random variables. For example, in sampling from a normal population with mean and variance , suppose and are the sample mean and the sample variance. Then, defining Z and U thus: and that . Now suppose the parameter of interest is the coefficient of variation, . Then, we can easily perform exact tests and exact confidence intervals for based on the generalized statistic , where is the observed value of and is the observed value of . Exact inferences on based on probabilities and expected values of are possible because its distribution and the observed value are both free of nuisance parameters. Generalized p-values Classical statistical methods do not provide exact tests to many statistical problems such as testing Variance Components and ANOVA under unequal variances. To rectify this situation, the generalized p-values are defined as an extension of the classical p-values so that one can perform tests based on exact probability statements valid for any sample size.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher-dimensional%20algebra
In mathematics, especially (higher) category theory, higher-dimensional algebra is the study of categorified structures. It has applications in nonabelian algebraic topology, and generalizes abstract algebra. Higher-dimensional categories A first step towards defining higher dimensional algebras is the concept of 2-category of higher category theory, followed by the more 'geometric' concept of double category. A higher level concept is thus defined as a category of categories, or super-category, which generalises to higher dimensions the notion of category – regarded as any structure which is an interpretation of Lawvere's axioms of the elementary theory of abstract categories (ETAC). Thus, a supercategory and also a super-category, can be regarded as natural extensions of the concepts of meta-category, multicategory, and multi-graph, k-partite graph, or colored graph (see a color figure, and also its definition in graph theory). Supercategories were first introduced in 1970, and were subsequently developed for applications in theoretical physics (especially quantum field theory and topological quantum field theory) and mathematical biology or mathematical biophysics. Other pathways in higher-dimensional algebra involve: bicategories, homomorphisms of bicategories, variable categories (also known as indexed or parametrized categories), topoi, effective descent, and enriched and internal categories. Double groupoids In higher-dimensional algebra (HDA), a double groupoid is a generalisation of a one-dimensional groupoid to two dimensions, and the latter groupoid can be considered as a special case of a category with all invertible arrows, or morphisms. Double groupoids are often used to capture information about geometrical objects such as higher-dimensional manifolds (or n-dimensional manifolds). In general, an n-dimensional manifold is a space that locally looks like an n-dimensional Euclidean space, but whose global structure may be non-Euclidean. Double groupoids were first introduced by Ronald Brown in Double groupoids and crossed modules (1976), and were further developed towards applications in nonabelian algebraic topology. A related, 'dual' concept is that of a double algebroid, and the more general concept of R-algebroid. Nonabelian algebraic topology See Nonabelian algebraic topology Applications Theoretical physics In quantum field theory, there exist quantum categories. and quantum double groupoids. One can consider quantum double groupoids to be fundamental groupoids defined via a 2-functor, which allows one to think about the physically interesting case of quantum fundamental groupoids (QFGs) in terms of the bicategory Span(Groupoids), and then constructing 2-Hilbert spaces and 2-linear maps for manifolds and cobordisms. At the next step, one obtains cobordisms with corners via natural transformations of such 2-functors. A claim was then made that, with the gauge group SU(2), "the extended TQFT, or ETQFT, gives a theory

Gladesmore Community School is a coeducational secondary school located in Tottenham, London, England. The school's specialisms include Gifted and Talented, Mathematics and Computing, and Applied Learning. History Gladesmore combines a number of previous schools in the vicinity: Crowland Road School opened in 1911 and became Crowland Secondary Modern in 1946. The Crowland School buildings then became part of the new Markfield County Secondary, which was founded in 1956. Drayton School then replaced Markfield School, opening in Gladesmore Road in 1967. Gladesmore was a poor school in the 1970s-90s, but when Tony Hartney became Headteacher in 1999, the school was transformed from Poor to Outstanding, receiving extremely positive reviews from Ofsted, it is rated as exemplary gaining three consecutive judgements of outstanding in all categories. In 2006, Mr Hartney was appointed a CBE for his work at the school. Gladesmore received the Queen's Award for Service on 29 June 2011. Prefecture Pupils may apply to become a prefect in year 10, stating their qualities and suitability. In year 11, a head boy and head girl are appointed, along with a deputy for each. Students may vote for a boy and a girl in their year to become a part of the School Council. Gladesmore embraces the rich diversity of its community and plays a strong role in promoting improvements. The ethos of the school is extremely positive, friendly and uplifting. students and staff relate very well to each other and enjoy a 'family' atmosphere. Value Life In 2003, Gladesmore students founded the Value Life campaign, aiming to teach students how to stay safe and make the most of their life. It tackles gun and knife crime. This evolved into a series of large events, such as a carnival, a march, a music video and a short film. Value Life was supported by many officials, such as Queen Elizabeth II, Boris Johnson & David Cameron. The campaign won the Philip Lawrence Award in 2008. Everybody Dreams In 2011, Gladesmore founded the Everybody Dreams campaign, which aims to improve the reputation of Tottenham after the 2011 England Riots. This included the release of a song performed by pupils at the school. It was supported by people like Leona Lewis, Dave Stewart David Lammy, Boris Johnson, Westlife's Mark Feehily, Ricky Gervais, Jessica Ennis and Wretch 32. The song reached number 33 in the iTunes Chart. Notable former pupils Chip (formerly Chipmunk), solo grime artist, who used the school to shoot the video for his single "Chip Diddy Chip".

In mathematics, a Bailey pair is a pair of sequences satisfying certain relations, and a Bailey chain is a sequence of Bailey pairs. Bailey pairs were introduced by while studying the second proof Rogers 1917 of the Rogers–Ramanujan identities, and Bailey chains were introduced by . Definition The q-Pochhammer symbols are defined as: A pair of sequences (αn,βn) is called a Bailey pair if they are related by or equivalently Bailey's lemma Bailey's lemma states that if (αn,βn) is a Bailey pair, then so is (α'n,β'n) where In other words, given one Bailey pair, one can construct a second using the formulas above. This process can be iterated to produce an infinite sequence of Bailey pairs, called a Bailey chain.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebra%20tile
Algebra tiles are mathematical manipulatives that allow students to better understand ways of algebraic thinking and the concepts of algebra. These tiles have proven to provide concrete models for elementary school, middle school, high school, and college-level introductory algebra students. They have also been used to prepare prison inmates for their General Educational Development (GED) tests. Algebra tiles allow both an algebraic and geometric approach to algebraic concepts. They give students another way to solve algebraic problems other than just abstract manipulation. The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) recommends a decreased emphasis on the memorization of the rules of algebra and the symbol manipulation of algebra in their Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for Mathematics. According to the NCTM 1989 standards "[r]elating models to one another builds a better understanding of each". Examples Solving linear equations using addition The linear equation can be modeled with one positive tile and eight negative unit tiles on the left side of a piece of paper and six positive unit tiles on the right side. To maintain equality of the sides, each action must be performed on both sides. For example, eight positive unit tiles can be added to both sides. Zero pairs of unit tiles are removed from the left side, leaving one positive tile. The right side has 14 positive unit tiles, so . Solving linear equations using subtraction The equation can be modeled with one positive tile and seven positive unit tiles on the left side and 10 positive unit tiles on the right side. Rather than adding the same number of tiles to both sides, the same number of tiles can be subtracted from both sides. For example, seven positive unit tiles can be removed from both sides. This leaves one positive tile on the left side and three positive unit tiles on the right side, so . Multiplying polynomials When using algebra tiles to multiply a monomial by a monomial, the student must first set up a rectangle where the length of the rectangle is the one monomial and then the width of the rectangle is the other monomial, similar to when one multiplies integers using algebra tiles. Once the sides of the rectangle are represented by the algebra tiles, one would then try to figure out which algebra tiles would fill in the rectangle. For instance, if one had x×x, the only algebra tile that would complete the rectangle would be x2, which is the answer. Multiplication of binomials is similar to multiplication of monomials when using the algebra tiles . Multiplication of binomials can also be thought of as creating a rectangle where the factors are the length and width. As with the monomials, one would set up the sides of the rectangle to be the factors and then fill in the rectangle with the algebra tiles. This method of using algebra tiles to multiply polynomials is known as the area model and it can also be applied to multiplying monomials and binomial

This is a timeline of pure and applied mathematics history. It is divided here into three stages, corresponding to stages in the development of mathematical notation: a "rhetorical" stage in which calculations are described purely by words, a "syncopated" stage in which quantities and common algebraic operations are beginning to be represented by symbolic abbreviations, and finally a "symbolic" stage, in which comprehensive notational systems for formulas are the norm. Rhetorical stage Before 1000 BC ca. 70,000 BC – South Africa, ochre rocks adorned with scratched geometric patterns (see Blombos Cave). ca. 35,000 BC to 20,000 BC – Africa and France, earliest known prehistoric attempts to quantify time (see Lebombo bone). c. 20,000 BC – Nile Valley, Ishango bone: possibly the earliest reference to prime numbers and Egyptian multiplication. c. 3400 BC – Mesopotamia, the Sumerians invent the first numeral system, and a system of weights and measures. c. 3100 BC – Egypt, earliest known decimal system allows indefinite counting by way of introducing new symbols. c. 2800 BC – Indus Valley Civilisation on the Indian subcontinent, earliest use of decimal ratios in a uniform system of ancient weights and measures, the smallest unit of measurement used is 1.704 millimetres and the smallest unit of mass used is 28 grams. 2700 BC – Egypt, precision surveying. 2400 BC – Egypt, precise astronomical calendar, used even in the Middle Ages for its mathematical regularity. c. 2000 BC – Mesopotamia, the Babylonians use a base-60 positional numeral system, and compute the first known approximate value of π at 3.125. c. 2000 BC – Scotland, carved stone balls exhibit a variety of symmetries including all of the symmetries of Platonic solids, though it is not known if this was deliberate. 1800 BC – Egypt, Moscow Mathematical Papyrus, finding the volume of a frustum. c. 1800 BC – Berlin Papyrus 6619 (Egypt, 19th dynasty) contains a quadratic equation and its solution. 1650 BC – Rhind Mathematical Papyrus, copy of a lost scroll from around 1850 BC, the scribe Ahmes presents one of the first known approximate values of π at 3.16, the first attempt at squaring the circle, earliest known use of a sort of cotangent, and knowledge of solving first order linear equations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lonely%20runner%20conjecture
In number theory, specifically the study of Diophantine approximation, the lonely runner conjecture is a conjecture about the long-term behavior of runners on a circular track. It states that runners on a track of unit length, with constant speeds all distinct from one another, will each be lonely at some time—at least units away from all others. The conjecture was first posed in 1967 by German mathematician Jörg M. Wills, in purely number-theoretic terms, and independently in 1974 by T. W. Cusick; its illustrative and now-popular formulation dates to 1998. The conjecture is known to be true for 7 runners or less, but the general case remains unsolved. Implications of the conjecture include solutions to view-obstruction problems and bounds on properties, related to chromatic numbers, of certain graphs. Formulation Consider runners on a circular track of unit length. At the initial time , all runners are at the same position and start to run; the runners' speeds are constant, all distinct, and may be negative. A runner is said to be lonely at time if they are at a distance (measured along the circle) of at least from every other runner. The lonely runner conjecture states that each runner is lonely at some time, no matter the choice of speeds. This visual formulation of the conjecture was first published in 1998. In many formulations, including the original by Jörg M. Wills, some simplifications are made. The runner to be lonely is stationary at 0 (with zero speed), and therefore other runners, with nonzero speeds, are considered. The moving runners may be further restricted to positive speeds only: by symmetry, runners with speeds and have the same distance from 0 at all times, and so are essentially equivalent. Proving the result for any stationary runner implies the general result for all runners, since they can be made stationary by subtracting their speed from all runners, leaving them with zero speed. The conjecture then states that, for any collection of positive, distinct speeds, there exists some time such that where denotes the fractional part of . Interpreted visually, if the runners are running counterclockwise, the middle term of the inequality is the distance from the origin to the th runner at time , measured counterclockwise. This convention is used for the rest of this article. Wills' conjecture was part of his work in Diophantine approximation, the study of how closely fractions can approximate irrational numbers. Implications Suppose is a -hypercube of side length in -dimensional space (). Place a centered copy of at every point with half-integer coordinates. A ray from the origin may either miss all of the copies of , in which case there is a (infinitesimal) gap, or hit at least one copy. made an independent formulation of the lonely runner conjecture in this context; the conjecture implies that there are gaps if and only if , ignoring rays lying in one of the coordinate hyperplanes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fr%C3%A9chet%20distance
In mathematics, the Fréchet distance is a measure of similarity between curves that takes into account the location and ordering of the points along the curves. It is named after Maurice Fréchet. Intuitive definition Imagine a person traversing a finite curved path while walking their dog on a leash, with the dog traversing a separate finite curved path. Each can vary their speed to keep slack in the leash, but neither can move backwards. The Fréchet distance between the two curves is the length of the shortest leash sufficient for both to traverse their separate paths from start to finish. Note that the definition is symmetric with respect to the two curves—the Fréchet distance would be the same if the dog were walking its owner. Formal definition Let be a metric space. A curve in is a continuous map from the unit interval into , i.e., . A reparameterization of is a continuous, non-decreasing, surjection . Let and be two given curves in . Then, the Fréchet distance between and is defined as the infimum over all reparameterizations and of of the maximum over all of the distance in between and . In mathematical notation, the Fréchet distance is where is the distance function of . Informally, we can think of the parameter as "time". Then, is the position of the dog and is the position of the dog's owner at time (or vice versa). The length of the leash between them at time is the distance between and . Taking the infimum over all possible reparametrizations of corresponds to choosing the walk along the given paths where the maximum leash length is minimized. The restriction that and be non-decreasing means that neither the dog nor its owner can backtrack. The Fréchet metric takes into account the flow of the two curves because the pairs of points whose distance contributes to the Fréchet distance sweep continuously along their respective curves. This makes the Fréchet distance a better measure of similarity for curves than alternatives, such as the Hausdorff distance, for arbitrary point sets. It is possible for two curves to have small Hausdorff distance but large Fréchet distance. The Fréchet distance and its variants find application in several problems, from morphing and handwriting recognition to protein structure alignment. Alt and Godau were the first to describe a polynomial-time algorithm to compute the Fréchet distance between two polygonal curves in Euclidean space, based on the principle of parametric search. The running time of their algorithm is for two polygonal curves with m and n segments. The free-space diagram An important tool for calculating the Fréchet distance of two curves is the free-space diagram, which was introduced by Alt and Godau. The free-space diagram between two curves for a given distance threshold ε is a two-dimensional region in the parameter space that consist of all point pairs on the two curves at distance at most ε: The Fréchet distance is at most ε if and only if th
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acyclic%20model
In algebraic topology, a discipline within mathematics, the acyclic models theorem can be used to show that two homology theories are isomorphic. The theorem was developed by topologists Samuel Eilenberg and Saunders MacLane. They discovered that, when topologists were writing proofs to establish equivalence of various homology theories, there were numerous similarities in the processes. Eilenberg and MacLane then discovered the theorem to generalize this process. It can be used to prove the Eilenberg–Zilber theorem; this leads to the idea of the model category. Statement of the theorem Let be an arbitrary category and be the category of chain complexes of -modules over some ring . Let be covariant functors such that: for . There are for such that has a basis in , so is a free functor. is - and -acyclic at these models, which means that for all and all . Then the following assertions hold: Every natural transformation induces a natural chain map . If are natural transformations, are natural chain maps as before and for all models , then there is a natural chain homotopy between and . In particular the chain map is unique up to natural chain homotopy. Generalizations Projective and acyclic complexes What is above is one of the earliest versions of the theorem. Another version is the one that says that if is a complex of projectives in an abelian category and is an acyclic complex in that category, then any map extends to a chain map , unique up to homotopy. This specializes almost to the above theorem if one uses the functor category as the abelian category. Free functors are projective objects in that category. The morphisms in the functor category are natural transformations, so the constructed chain maps and homotopies are all natural. The difference is that in the above version, being acyclic is a stronger assumption than being acyclic only at certain objects. On the other hand, the above version almost implies this version by letting a category with only one object. Then the free functor is basically just a free (and hence projective) module. being acyclic at the models (there is only one) means nothing else than that the complex is acyclic. Acyclic classes There is a grand theorem that unifies both of the above. Let be an abelian category (for example, or ). A class of chain complexes over will be called an acyclic class provided that: The 0 complex is in . The complex belongs to if and only if the suspension of does. If the complexes and are homotopic and , then . Every complex in is acyclic. If is a double complex, all of whose rows are in , then the total complex of belongs to . There are three natural examples of acyclic classes, although doubtless others exist. The first is that of homotopy contractible complexes. The second is that of acyclic complexes. In functor categories (e.g. the category of all functors from topological spaces to abelian groups), there is a class o

The name decagram combines a numeral prefix, deca-, with the Greek suffix -gram. The -gram suffix derives from γραμμῆς (grammēs) meaning a line. Regular decagram For a regular decagram with unit edge lengths, the proportions of the crossing points on each edge are as shown below. Applications Decagrams have been used as one of the decorative motifs in girih tiles. Isotoxal variations An isotoxal polygon has two vertices and one edge. There are isotoxal decagram forms, which alternates vertices at two radii. Each form has a freedom of one angle. The first is a variation of a double-wound of a pentagon {5}, and last is a variation of a double-wound of a pentagram {5/2}. The middle is a variation of a regular decagram, {10/3}. Related figures A regular decagram is a 10-sided polygram, represented by symbol {10/n}, containing the same vertices as regular decagon. Only one of these polygrams, {10/3} (connecting every third point), forms a regular star polygon, but there are also three ten-vertex polygrams which can be interpreted as regular compounds: {10/5} is a compound of five degenerate digons 5{2} {10/4} is a compound of two pentagrams 2{5/2} {10/2} is a compound of two pentagons 2{5}. {10/2} can be seen as the 2D equivalent of the 3D compound of dodecahedron and icosahedron and 4D compound of 120-cell and 600-cell; that is, the compound of two pentagonal polytopes in their respective dual positions. {10/4} can be seen as the two-dimensional equivalent of the three-dimensional compound of small stellated dodecahedron and great dodecahedron or compound of great icosahedron and great stellated dodecahedron through similar reasons. It has six four-dimensional analogues, with two of these being compounds of two self-dual star polytopes, like the pentagram itself; the compound of two great 120-cells and the compound of two grand stellated 120-cells. A full list can be seen at Polytope compound#Compounds with duals. Deeper truncations of the regular pentagon and pentagram can produce intermediate star polygon forms with ten equally spaced vertices and two edge lengths that remain vertex-transitive (any two vertices can be transformed into each other by a symmetry of the figure).

{{DISPLAYTITLE:1 52 honeycomb}} In geometry, the 152 honeycomb is a uniform tessellation of 8-dimensional Euclidean space. It contains 142 and 151 facets, in a birectified 8-simplex vertex figure. It is the final figure in the 1k2 polytope family. Construction It is created by a Wythoff construction upon a set of 9 hyperplane mirrors in 8-dimensional space. The facet information can be extracted from its Coxeter-Dynkin diagram. Removing the node on the end of the 2-length branch leaves the 8-demicube, 151. Removing the node on the end of the 5-length branch leaves the 142. The vertex figure is determined by removing the ringed node and ringing the neighboring node.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex%20enumeration%20problem
In mathematics, the vertex enumeration problem for a polytope, a polyhedral cell complex, a hyperplane arrangement, or some other object of discrete geometry, is the problem of determination of the object's vertices given some formal representation of the object. A classical example is the problem of enumeration of the vertices of a convex polytope specified by a set of linear inequalities: where A is an m×n matrix, x is an n×1 column vector of variables, and b is an m×1 column vector of constants. The inverse (dual) problem of finding the bounding inequalities given the vertices is called facet enumeration (see convex hull algorithms). Computational complexity The computational complexity of the problem is a subject of research in computer science. For unbounded polyhedra, the problem is known to be NP-hard, more precisely, there is no algorithm that runs in polynomial time in the combined input-output size, unless P=NP. A 1992 article by David Avis and Komei Fukuda presents a reverse-search algorithm which finds the v vertices of a polytope defined by a nondegenerate system of n inequalities in d dimensions (or, dually, the v facets of the convex hull of n points in d dimensions, where each facet contains exactly d given points) in time O(ndv) and space O(nd). The v vertices in a simple arrangement of n hyperplanes in d dimensions can be found in O(n2dv) time and O(nd) space complexity. The Avis–Fukuda algorithm adapted the criss-cross algorithm for oriented matroids.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-seventh%20area%20triangle
In plane geometry, a triangle ABC contains a triangle having one-seventh of the area of ABC, which is formed as follows: the sides of this triangle lie on cevians p, q, r where p connects A to a point on BC that is one-third the distance from B to C, q connects B to a point on CA that is one-third the distance from C to A, r connects C to a point on AB that is one-third the distance from A to B. The proof of the existence of the one-seventh area triangle follows from the construction of six parallel lines: two parallel to p, one through C, the other through q.r two parallel to q, one through A, the other through r.p two parallel to r, one through B, the other through p.q. The suggestion of Hugo Steinhaus is that the (central) triangle with sides p,q,r be reflected in its sides and vertices. These six extra triangles partially cover ABC, and leave six overhanging extra triangles lying outside ABC. Focusing on the parallelism of the full construction (offered by Martin Gardner through James Randi’s on-line magazine), the pair-wise congruences of overhanging and missing pieces of ABC is evident. As seen in the graphical solution, six plus the original equals the whole triangle ABC. An early exhibit of this geometrical construction and area computation was given by Robert Potts in 1859 in his Euclidean geometry textbook. According to Cook and Wood (2004), this triangle puzzled Richard Feynman in a dinner conversation; they go on to give four different proofs. A more general result is known as Routh's theorem.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weakly%20symmetric%20space
In mathematics, a weakly symmetric space is a notion introduced by the Norwegian mathematician Atle Selberg in the 1950s as a generalisation of symmetric space, due to Élie Cartan. Geometrically the spaces are defined as complete Riemannian manifolds such that any two points can be exchanged by an isometry, the symmetric case being when the isometry is required to have period two. The classification of weakly symmetric spaces relies on that of periodic automorphisms of complex semisimple Lie algebras. They provide examples of Gelfand pairs, although the corresponding theory of spherical functions in harmonic analysis, known for symmetric spaces, has not yet been developed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special%20linear%20Lie%20algebra
In mathematics, the special linear Lie algebra of order n (denoted or ) is the Lie algebra of matrices with trace zero and with the Lie bracket . This algebra is well studied and understood, and is often used as a model for the study of other Lie algebras. The Lie group that it generates is the special linear group. Applications The Lie algebra is central to the study of special relativity, general relativity and supersymmetry: its fundamental representation is the so-called spinor representation, while its adjoint representation generates the Lorentz group SO(3,1) of special relativity. The algebra plays an important role in the study of chaos and fractals, as it generates the Möbius group SL(2,R), which describes the automorphisms of the hyperbolic plane, the simplest Riemann surface of negative curvature; by contrast, SL(2,C) describes the automorphisms of the hyperbolic 3-dimensional ball. Representation theory Representation theory of sl2ℂ The Lie algebra is a three-dimensional complex Lie algebra. Its defining feature is that it contains a basis satisfying the commutation relations , , and . This is a Cartan-Weyl basis for . It has an explicit realization in terms of two-by-two complex matrices with zero trace: , , . This is the fundamental or defining representation for . The Lie algebra can be viewed as a subspace of its universal enveloping algebra and, in , there are the following commutator relations shown by induction: , . Note that, here, the powers , etc. refer to powers as elements of the algebra U and not matrix powers. The first basic fact (that follows from the above commutator relations) is: From this lemma, one deduces the following fundamental result: The first statement is true since either is zero or has -eigenvalue distinct from the eigenvalues of the others that are nonzero. Saying is a -weight vector is equivalent to saying that it is simultaneously an eigenvector of ; a short calculation then shows that, in that case, the -eigenvalue of is zero: . Thus, for some integer , and in particular, by the early lemma, which implies that . It remains to show is irreducible. If is a subrepresentation, then it admits an eigenvector, which must have eigenvalue of the form ; thus is proportional to . By the preceding lemma, we have is in and thus . As a corollary, one deduces: If has finite dimension and is irreducible, then -eigenvalue of v is a nonnegative integer and has a basis . Conversely, if the -eigenvalue of is a nonnegative integer and is irreducible, then has a basis ; in particular has finite dimension. The beautiful special case of shows a general way to find irreducible representations of Lie algebras. Namely, we divide the algebra to three subalgebras "h" (the Cartan Subalgebra), "e", and "f", which behave approximately like their namesakes in . Namely, in an irreducible representation, we have a "highest" eigenvector of "h", on which "e" acts by zero. The basis of the irreduci

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear%20inequality
In mathematics a linear inequality is an inequality which involves a linear function. A linear inequality contains one of the symbols of inequality: < less than > greater than ≤ less than or equal to ≥ greater than or equal to ≠ not equal to A linear inequality looks exactly like a linear equation, with the inequality sign replacing the equality sign. Linear inequalities of real numbers Two-dimensional linear inequalities Two-dimensional linear inequalities are expressions in two variables of the form: where the inequalities may either be strict or not. The solution set of such an inequality can be graphically represented by a half-plane (all the points on one "side" of a fixed line) in the Euclidean plane. The line that determines the half-planes (ax + by = c) is not included in the solution set when the inequality is strict. A simple procedure to determine which half-plane is in the solution set is to calculate the value of ax + by at a point (x0, y0) which is not on the line and observe whether or not the inequality is satisfied. For example, to draw the solution set of x + 3y < 9, one first draws the line with equation x + 3y = 9 as a dotted line, to indicate that the line is not included in the solution set since the inequality is strict. Then, pick a convenient point not on the line, such as (0,0). Since 0 + 3(0) = 0 < 9, this point is in the solution set, so the half-plane containing this point (the half-plane "below" the line) is the solution set of this linear inequality. Linear inequalities in general dimensions In Rn linear inequalities are the expressions that may be written in the form or where f is a linear form (also called a linear functional), and b a constant real number. More concretely, this may be written out as or Here are called the unknowns, and are called the coefficients. Alternatively, these may be written as or where g is an affine function. That is or Note that any inequality containing a "greater than" or a "greater than or equal" sign can be rewritten with a "less than" or "less than or equal" sign, so there is no need to define linear inequalities using those signs. Systems of linear inequalities A system of linear inequalities is a set of linear inequalities in the same variables: Here are the unknowns, are the coefficients of the system, and are the constant terms. This can be concisely written as the matrix inequality where A is an m×n matrix, x is an n×1 column vector of variables, and b is an m×1 column vector of constants. In the above systems both strict and non-strict inequalities may be used. Not all systems of linear inequalities have solutions. Variables can be eliminated from systems of linear inequalities using Fourier–Motzkin elimination. Applications Polyhedra The set of solutions of a real linear inequality constitutes a half-space of the 'n'-dimensional real space, one of the two defined by the corresponding linear equation.

It is constructed by 3 copies of the E6 lattice vertices, one from each of the three branches of the Coxeter diagram. ∪ ∪ = dual to . Geometric folding The group is related to the by a geometric folding, so this honeycomb can be projected into the 4-dimensional 16-cell honeycomb.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally%20Baire%20set
In the mathematical field of descriptive set theory, a set of real numbers (or more generally a subset of the Baire space or Cantor space) is called universally Baire if it has a certain strong regularity property. Universally Baire sets play an important role in Ω-logic, a very strong logical system invented by W. Hugh Woodin and the centerpiece of his argument against the continuum hypothesis of Georg Cantor. Definition A subset A of the Baire space is universally Baire if it has the following equivalent properties: For every notion of forcing, there are trees T and U such that A is the projection of the set of all branches through T, and it is forced that the projections of the branches through T and the branches through U are complements of each other. For every compact Hausdorff space Ω, and every continuous function f from Ω to the Baire space, the preimage of A under f has the property of Baire in Ω. For every cardinal λ and every continuous function f from λω to the Baire space, the preimage of A under f has the property of Baire. References Descriptive set theory
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gosper%27s%20algorithm
In mathematics, Gosper's algorithm, due to Bill Gosper, is a procedure for finding sums of hypergeometric terms that are themselves hypergeometric terms. That is: suppose one has a(1) + ... + a(n) = S(n) − S(0), where S(n) is a hypergeometric term (i.e., S(n + 1)/S(n) is a rational function of n); then necessarily a(n) is itself a hypergeometric term, and given the formula for a(n) Gosper's algorithm finds that for S(n). Outline of the algorithm Step 1: Find a polynomial p such that, writing b(n) = a(n)/p(n), the ratio b(n)/b(n − 1) has the form q(n)/r(n) where q and r are polynomials and no q(n) has a nontrivial factor with r(n + j) for j = 0, 1, 2, ... . (This is always possible, whether or not the series is summable in closed form.) Step 2: Find a polynomial ƒ such that S(n) = q(n + 1)/p(n) ƒ(n) a(n). If the series is summable in closed form then clearly a rational function ƒ with this property exists; in fact it must always be a polynomial, and an upper bound on its degree can be found. Determining ƒ (or finding that there is no such ƒ) is then a matter of solving a system of linear equations. Relationship to Wilf–Zeilberger pairs Gosper's algorithm can be used to discover Wilf–Zeilberger pairs, where they exist. Suppose that F(n + 1, k) − F(n, k) = G(n, k + 1) − G(n, k) where F is known but G is not. Then feed a(k) := F(n + 1, k) − F(n, k) into Gosper's algorithm. (Treat this as a function of k whose coefficients happen to be functions of n rather than numbers; everything in the algorithm works in this setting.) If it successfully finds S(k) with S(k) − S(k − 1) = a(k), then we are done: this is the required G. If not, there is no such G. Definite versus indefinite summation Gosper's algorithm finds (where possible) a hypergeometric closed form for the indefinite sum of hypergeometric terms. It can happen that there is no such closed form, but that the sum over all n, or some particular set of values of n, has a closed form. This question is only meaningful when the coefficients are themselves functions of some other variable. So, suppose a(n,k) is a hypergeometric term in both n and k: that is, a(n, k)/a(n − 1,k) and a(n, k)/a(n, k − 1) are rational functions of n and k. Then Zeilberger's algorithm and Petkovšek's algorithm may be used to find closed forms for the sum over k of a(n, k). History Bill Gosper discovered this algorithm in the 1970s while working on the Macsyma computer algebra system at SAIL and MIT. References Computer algebra Hypergeometric functions

In the NUTS (Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics) codes of France (FR), the three levels are: History Up until 2016, the first level NUTS regions of France consisted of Ile de France, Bassin Parisien, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, Est, Ouest, Sud-Ouest, Centre-Est, Mediterranee and the Departement d'Outre Mer. The Departement d'Outre Mer consisted of all the overseas departments of France, while the remaining eight statistical regions were made up of the 22 regions of France. A law passed in 2014 by the French parliament reduced the number of metropolitan regions in the country from 22 to 13. The decrease took effect from 1 January 2016. As a result of these changes in the regions of France, the first level NUTS statistical regions were altered to reflect the changes. The number of first level regions was increased to 14 so that each of the 13 metropolitan regions of France became a separate first level statistical region. Départements d'outre mer Although the Départements d'outre mer, as integrated departments of France, have always been a part of the European Union and its predecessors, they were only officially included as a permanent NUTS statistical area of France in 1989.

In mathematics, and in particular the necklace splitting problem, the Hobby–Rice theorem is a result that is useful in establishing the existence of certain solutions. It was proved in 1965 by Charles R. Hobby and John R. Rice; a simplified proof was given in 1976 by A. Pinkus. The theorem Define a partition of the interval [0,1] as a division of the interval into subintervals by as an increasing sequence of numbers: Define a signed partition as a partition in which each subinterval has an associated sign : The Hobby–Rice theorem says that for every n continuously integrable functions: there exists a signed partition of [0,1] such that: (in other words: for each of the n functions, its integral over the positive subintervals equals its integral over the negative subintervals). Application to fair division The theorem was used by Noga Alon in the context of necklace splitting in 1987. Suppose the interval [0,1] is a cake. There are n partners and each of the n functions is a value-density function of one partner. We want to divide the cake into two parts such that all partners agree that the parts have the same value. This fair-division challenge is sometimes referred to as the consensus-halving problem. The Hobby–Rice theorem implies that this can be done with n cuts.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koornwinder%20polynomials
In mathematics, Macdonald-Koornwinder polynomials (also called Koornwinder polynomials) are a family of orthogonal polynomials in several variables, introduced by Koornwinder and I. G. Macdonald, that generalize the Askey–Wilson polynomials. They are the Macdonald polynomials attached to the non-reduced affine root system of type (C, Cn), and in particular satisfy analogues of Macdonald's conjectures. In addition Jan Felipe van Diejen showed that the Macdonald polynomials associated to any classical root system can be expressed as limits or special cases of Macdonald-Koornwinder polynomials and found complete sets of concrete commuting difference operators diagonalized by them. Furthermore, there is a large class of interesting families of multivariable orthogonal polynomials associated with classical root systems which are degenerate cases of the Macdonald-Koornwinder polynomials. The Macdonald-Koornwinder polynomials have also been studied with the aid of affine Hecke algebras. The Macdonald-Koornwinder polynomial in n variables associated to the partition λ is the unique Laurent polynomial invariant under permutation and inversion of variables, with leading monomial xλ, and orthogonal with respect to the density on the unit torus , where the parameters satisfy the constraints and (x;q)∞ denotes the infinite q-Pochhammer symbol. Here leading monomial xλ means that μ≤λ for all terms xμ with nonzero coefficient, where μ≤λ if and only if μ1≤λ1, μ1+μ2≤λ1+λ2, …, μ1+…+μn≤λ1+…+λn. Under further constraints that q and t are real and that a, b, c, d are real or, if complex, occur in conjugate pairs, the given density is positive. Citations References Orthogonal polynomials

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%B6bius%20configuration
In geometry, the Möbius configuration or Möbius tetrads is a certain configuration in Euclidean space or projective space, consisting of two tetrahedra that are mutually inscribed: each vertex of one tetrahedron lies on a face plane of the other tetrahedron and vice versa. Thus, for the resulting system of eight points and eight planes, each point lies on four planes (the three planes defining it as a vertex of a tetrahedron and the fourth plane from the other tetrahedron that it lies on), and each plane contains four points (the three tetrahedron vertices of its face, and the vertex from the other tetrahedron that lies on it). Möbius's theorem The configuration is named after August Ferdinand Möbius, who in 1828 proved that, if two tetrahedra have the property that seven of their vertices lie on corresponding face planes of the other tetrahedron, then the eighth vertex also lies on the plane of its corresponding face, forming a configuration of this type. This incidence theorem is true more generally in a three-dimensional projective space if and only if Pappus's theorem holds for that space (Reidemeister, Schönhardt), and it is true for a three-dimensional space modeled on a division ring if and only if the ring satisfies the commutative law and is therefore a field (Al-Dhahir). By projective duality, Möbius' result is equivalent to the statement that, if seven of the eight face planes of two tetrahedra contain the corresponding vertices of the other tetrahedron, then the eighth face plane also contains the same vertex. Construction describes a simple construction for the configuration. Beginning with an arbitrary point p in Euclidean space, let A, B, C, and D be four planes through p, no three of which share a common intersection line, and place the six points q, r, s, t, u, and v on the six lines formed by pairwise intersection of these planes in such a way that no four of these points are coplanar. For each of the planes A, B, C, and D, four of the seven points p, q, r, s, t, u, and v lie on that plane and three are disjointed from it; form planes A’, B’, C’, and D’ through the triples of points disjoint from A, B, C, and D respectively. Then, by the dual form of Möbius' theorem, these four new planes meet in a single point w. The eight points p, q, r, s, t, u, v, and w and the eight planes A, B, C, D, A’, B’, C’, and D’ form an instance of Möbius' configuration. Related constructions state (without references) that there are five configurations having eight points and eight planes with four points on every plane and four planes through every point that are realisable in three-dimensional Euclidean space: such configurations have the shorthand notation . They must have obtained their information from the article by . This actually states, depending upon results by , , and , that there are five configurations with the property that at most two planes have two points in common, and dually at most two points are common to two planes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract%20algebra
In mathematics, more specifically algebra, abstract algebra or modern algebra is the study of algebraic structures. Algebraic structures include groups, rings, fields, modules, vector spaces, lattices, and algebras over a field. The term abstract algebra was coined in the early 20th century to distinguish it from older parts of algebra, and more specifically from elementary algebra, the use of variables to represent numbers in computation and reasoning. The abstract perspective on algebra has become so fundamental to advanced mathematics that it is simply called "algebra", while the term "abstract algebra" is seldom used except in pedagogy. Algebraic structures, with their associated homomorphisms, form mathematical categories. Category theory gives a unified framework to study properties and constructions that are similar for various structures. Universal algebra is a related subject that studies types of algebraic structures as single objects. For example, the structure of groups is a single object in universal algebra, which is called the variety of groups. History Before the nineteenth century, algebra was defined as the study of polynomials. Abstract algebra came into existence during the nineteenth century as more complex problems and solution methods developed. Concrete problems and examples came from number theory, geometry, analysis, and the solutions of algebraic equations. Most theories that are now recognized as parts of abstract algebra started as collections of disparate facts from various branches of mathematics, acquired a common theme that served as a core around which various results were grouped, and finally became unified on a basis of a common set of concepts. This unification occurred in the early decades of the 20th century and resulted in the formal axiomatic definitions of various algebraic structures such as groups, rings, and fields. This historical development is almost the opposite of the treatment found in popular textbooks, such as van der Waerden's Moderne Algebra, which start each chapter with a formal definition of a structure and then follow it with concrete examples. Elementary algebra The study of polynomial equations or algebraic equations has a long history. , the Babylonians were able to solve quadratic equations specified as word problems. This word problem stage is classified as rhetorical algebra and was the dominant approach up to the 16th century. Muhammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī originated the word "algebra" in 830 AD, but his work was entirely rhetorical algebra. Fully symbolic algebra did not appear until François Viète's 1591 New Algebra, and even this had some spelled out words that were given symbols in Descartes's 1637 La Géométrie. The formal study of solving symbolic equations led Leonhard Euler to accept what were then considered "nonsense" roots such as negative numbers and imaginary numbers, in the late 18th century. However, European mathematicians, for the most part, resisted these co

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experiment%20%28probability%20theory%29
In probability theory, an experiment or trial (see below) is any procedure that can be infinitely repeated and has a well-defined set of possible outcomes, known as the sample space. An experiment is said to be random if it has more than one possible outcome, and deterministic if it has only one. A random experiment that has exactly two (mutually exclusive) possible outcomes is known as a Bernoulli trial. When an experiment is conducted, one (and only one) outcome results— although this outcome may be included in any number of events, all of which would be said to have occurred on that trial. After conducting many trials of the same experiment and pooling the results, an experimenter can begin to assess the empirical probabilities of the various outcomes and events that can occur in the experiment and apply the methods of statistical analysis. Experiments and trials Random experiments are often conducted repeatedly, so that the collective results may be subjected to statistical analysis. A fixed number of repetitions of the same experiment can be thought of as a composed experiment, in which case the individual repetitions are called trials. For example, if one were to toss the same coin one hundred times and record each result, each toss would be considered a trial within the experiment composed of all hundred tosses. Mathematical description A random experiment is described or modeled by a mathematical construct known as a probability space. A probability space is constructed and defined with a specific kind of experiment or trial in mind. A mathematical description of an experiment consists of three parts: A sample space, Ω (or S), which is the set of all possible outcomes. A set of events , where each event is a set containing zero or more outcomes. The assignment of probabilities to the events—that is, a function P mapping from events to probabilities. An outcome is the result of a single execution of the model. Since individual outcomes might be of little practical use, more complicated events are used to characterize groups of outcomes. The collection of all such events is a sigma-algebra . Finally, there is a need to specify each event's likelihood of happening; this is done using the probability measure function, P. Once an experiment is designed and established, ω from the sample space Ω, all the events in that contain the selected outcome ω (recall that each event is a subset of Ω) are said to “have occurred”. The probability function P is defined in such a way that, if the experiment were to be repeated an infinite number of times, the relative frequencies of occurrence of each of the events would approach agreement with the values P assigns them. As a simple experiment, we may flip a coin twice. The sample space (where the order of the two flips is relevant) is {(H, T), (T, H), (T, T), (H, H)} where "H" means "heads" and "T" means "tails". Note that each of (H, T), (T, H), ... are possible outcomes of the experiment. We m

In mathematics, a Barnes integral or Mellin–Barnes integral is a contour integral involving a product of gamma functions. They were introduced by . They are closely related to generalized hypergeometric series. The integral is usually taken along a contour which is a deformation of the imaginary axis passing to the right of all poles of factors of the form Γ(a + s) and to the left of all poles of factors of the form Γ(a − s). Hypergeometric series The hypergeometric function is given as a Barnes integral by see also . This equality can be obtained by moving the contour to the right while picking up the residues at s = 0, 1, 2, ... . for , and by analytic continuation elsewhere. Given proper convergence conditions, one can relate more general Barnes' integrals and generalized hypergeometric functions pFq in a similar way . Barnes lemmas The first Barnes lemma states This is an analogue of Gauss's 2F1 summation formula, and also an extension of Euler's beta integral. The integral in it is sometimes called Barnes's beta integral. The second Barnes lemma states where e = a + b + c − d + 1. This is an analogue of Saalschütz's summation formula. q-Barnes integrals There are analogues of Barnes integrals for basic hypergeometric series, and many of the other results can also be extended to this case .

Ofer Lellouche (, born 19 April 1947 in Tunis) is an Israeli painter, sculptor, etcher and video artist. Biography Lellouche was born in Tunisia in 1947. He studied mathematics and physics in Paris at Saint Louis College. In 1966, two months before he was scheduled to graduate, he ran away to Kibbutz Yehiam in Israel. In 1968, during his service in the Israel Defense Forces, he contracted hepatitis and began to paint while recovering. He began his formal art training at the Avni Institute of Art and Design in Tel Aviv under the abstract lyrical painter Yehezkiel Streichman. He returned to Paris to study with the sculptor César Baldaccini (1921-1998) and earn a master's degree in literature with a thesis on Stéphane Mallarmé. In the late 1970s, he worked in video art and painted self-portraits. During the coming years, he drew and etched self-portraits, often in violent industrial colors. In 1979, he produced several videos related to the subject of the mirror. In the early 1980s, he began painting landscapes in addition to self-portraits. His 1987 painting Figure in a Landscape" was exhibited at the 19th São Paulo Art Biennial. In the early 1990s, Lellouche produced more than 600 etchings, illustrated Stéphane Mallarmé's poem, "Un coup de dés jamais n'abolira le hasard", and published the books "Panim" (faces) and "Ein Karem". He also produced large-format paintings, which he called the "Atelier César" in homage to his former teacher. In 1991, he returned to Paris and visited the location of César's studio, where he found some clay models on their bases and decided to make a series of works that would remind him of what he had seen. Since the late 1990s, he has been engaged primarily in sculpture and etching. References Ofer Lellouche: Self Portrait. Tel Aviv: Gordon Gallery, 1980.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy%20of%20statistics
The philosophy of statistics involves the meaning, justification, utility, use and abuse of statistics and its methodology, and ethical and epistemological issues involved in the consideration of choice and interpretation of data and methods of statistics. Topics of interest Foundations of statistics involves issues in theoretical statistics, its goals and optimization methods to meet these goals, parametric assumptions or lack thereof considered in nonparametric statistics, model selection for the underlying probability distribution, and interpretation of the meaning of inferences made using statistics, related to the philosophy of probability and the philosophy of science. Discussion of the selection of the goals and the meaning of optimization, in foundations of statistics, are the subject of the philosophy of statistics. Selection of distribution models, and of the means of selection, is the subject of the philosophy of statistics, whereas the mathematics of optimization is the subject of nonparametric statistics. David Cox makes the point that any kind of interpretation of evidence is in fact a statistical model, although it is known through Ian Hacking's work that many are ignorant of this subtlety. Issues arise involving sample size, such as cost and efficiency, are common, such as in polling and pharmaceutical research. Extra-mathematical considerations in the design of experiments and accommodating these issues arise in most actual experiments. The motivation and justification of data analysis and experimental design, as part of the scientific method are considered. Distinctions between induction and logical deduction relevant to inferences from data and evidence arise, such as when frequentist interpretations are compared with degrees of certainty derived from Bayesian inference. However, the difference between induction and ordinary reasoning is not generally appreciated. Leo Breiman exposed the diversity of thinking in his article on 'The Two Cultures', making the point that statistics has several kinds of inference to make, modelling and prediction amongst them. Issues in the philosophy of statistics arise throughout the history of statistics. Causality considerations arise with interpretations of, and definitions of, correlation, and in the theory of measurement. Objectivity in statistics is often confused with truth whereas it is better understood as replicability, which then needs to be defined in the particular case. Theodore Porter develops this as being the path pursued when trust has evaporated, being replaced with criteria. Ethics associated with epistemology and medical applications arise from potential abuse of statistics, such as selection of method or transformations of the data to arrive at different probability conclusions for the same data set. For example, the meaning of applications of a statistical inference to a single person, such as one single cancer patient, when there is no frequentist interpret
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilateral%20hypergeometric%20series
In mathematics, a bilateral hypergeometric series is a series Σan summed over all integers n, and such that the ratio an/an+1 of two terms is a rational function of n. The definition of the generalized hypergeometric series is similar, except that the terms with negative n must vanish; the bilateral series will in general have infinite numbers of non-zero terms for both positive and negative n. The bilateral hypergeometric series fails to converge for most rational functions, though it can be analytically continued to a function defined for most rational functions. There are several summation formulas giving its values for special values where it does converge. Definition The bilateral hypergeometric series pHp is defined by where is the rising factorial or Pochhammer symbol. Usually the variable z is taken to be 1, in which case it is omitted from the notation. It is possible to define the series pHq with different p and q in a similar way, but this either fails to converge or can be reduced to the usual hypergeometric series by changes of variables. Convergence and analytic continuation Suppose that none of the variables a or b are integers, so that all the terms of the series are finite and non-zero. Then the terms with n<0 diverge if |z| <1, and the terms with n>0 diverge if |z| >1, so the series cannot converge unless |z|=1. When |z|=1, the series converges if The bilateral hypergeometric series can be analytically continued to a multivalued meromorphic function of several variables whose singularities are branch points at z = 0 and z=1 and simple poles at ai = −1, −2,... and bi = 0, 1, 2, ... This can be done as follows. Suppose that none of the a or b variables are integers. The terms with n positive converge for |z| <1 to a function satisfying an inhomogeneous linear equation with singularities at z = 0 and z=1, so can be continued to a multivalued function with these points as branch points. Similarly the terms with n negative converge for |z| >1 to a function satisfying an inhomogeneous linear equation with singularities at z = 0 and z=1, so can also be continued to a multivalued function with these points as branch points. The sum of these functions gives the analytic continuation of the bilateral hypergeometric series to all values of z other than 0 and 1, and satisfies a linear differential equation in z similar to the hypergeometric differential equation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filipinos%20in%20Indonesia
Filipinos in Indonesia were estimated to number 7,400 individuals as of 2022, according to the statistics of the Philippine government. Most are based in Jakarta, though there is also a community in Surabaya and other major cities in Indonesia. This represented growth of nearly five times over the government's 1998 estimate of 1,046 individuals. Employment Unlike many other overseas Filipino communities, Filipinos in Indonesia consist largely of skilled professionals, especially in the advertising industries and as teachers in international schools where their English skills are most needed. 20% also work in finance, especially as accountants. Some Filipinos also work as fisherman on Indonesian waters. However, some have fished illegally and have faced a crackdown with the consequence of deportation by Indonesian authorities. Inter-ethnic relations Filipinos in Indonesia generally maintain good interethnic relations with their Indonesian neighbours, with whom they feel culturally closer than Europeans or Americans; Indonesians stereotype Filipinos as being gregarious and cheerful. However, there are fears that Filipinos in Indonesia may become the targets of kidnappings by local militant groups such as Jemaah Islamiyah in an attempt to secure the release of JI members imprisoned in Philippine jails. Community Filipinos in Indonesia have formed eight different community associations, including three sports teams, one teachers' association, and two Christian groups. The annual Philippine Independence Day celebrations attract numerous participants.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametric%20family
In mathematics and its applications, a parametric family or a parameterized family is a family of objects (a set of related objects) whose differences depend only on the chosen values for a set of parameters. Common examples are parametrized (families of) functions, probability distributions, curves, shapes, etc. In probability and its applications For example, the probability density function of a random variable may depend on a parameter . In that case, the function may be denoted to indicate the dependence on the parameter . is not a formal argument of the function as it is considered to be fixed. However, each different value of the parameter gives a different probability density function. Then the parametric family of densities is the set of functions , where denotes the parameter space, the set of all possible values that the parameter can take. As an example, the normal distribution is a family of similarly-shaped distributions parametrized by their mean and their variance. In decision theory, two-moment decision models can be applied when the decision-maker is faced with random variables drawn from a location-scale family of probability distributions. In algebra and its applications In economics, the Cobb–Douglas production function is a family of production functions parametrized by the elasticities of output with respect to the various factors of production. In algebra, the quadratic equation, for example, is actually a family of equations parametrized by the coefficients of the variable and of its square and by the constant term.

In geometry, a hexagonal pyramid or hexacone is a pyramid with a hexagonal base upon which are erected six isosceles triangular faces that meet at a point (the apex). Like any pyramid, it is self-dual. A right hexagonal pyramid with a regular hexagon base has C6v symmetry. A right regular pyramid is one which has a regular polygon as its base and whose apex is "above" the center of the base, so that the apex, the center of the base and any other vertex form a right triangle. Vertex coordinates A hexagonal pyramid of edge length 1 has the following vertices: These coordinates are a subset of the vertices of the regular triangular tiling.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert%20Osserman
Robert "Bob" Osserman (December 19, 1926 – November 30, 2011) was an American mathematician who worked in geometry. He is specially remembered for his work on the theory of minimal surfaces. Raised in Bronx, he went to Bronx High School of Science (diploma, 1942) and New York University. He earned a Ph.D. in 1955 from Harvard University with the thesis Contributions to the Problem of Type (on Riemann surfaces) supervised by Lars Ahlfors. He joined Stanford University in 1955. He joined the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in 1990. He worked on geometric function theory, differential geometry, the two integrated in a theory of minimal surfaces, isoperimetric inequality, and other issues in the areas of astronomy, geometry, cartography and complex function theory. Osserman was the head of mathematics at Office of Naval Research, a Fulbright Lecturer at the University of Paris and Guggenheim Fellow at the University of Warwick. He edited numerous books and promoted mathematics, such as in interviews with celebrities Steve Martin and Alan Alda. He was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) of 1978 in Helsinki. He received the Lester R. Ford Award (1980) of the Mathematical Association of America for his popular science writings. H. Blaine Lawson, David Allen Hoffman and Michael Gage were Ph.D. students of his. Robert Osserman died on Wednesday, November 30, 2011 at his home. Mathematical contributions The Keller–Osserman problem Osserman's most widely cited research article, published in 1957, dealt with the partial differential equation He showed that fast growth and monotonicity of is incompatible with the existence of global solutions. As a particular instance of his more general result: Osserman's method was to construct special solutions of the PDE which would facilitate application of the maximum principle. In particular, he showed that for any real number there exists a rotationally symmetric solution on some ball which takes the value at the center and diverges to infinity near the boundary. The maximum principle shows, by the monotonicity of , that a hypothetical global solution would satisfy for any and any , which is impossible. The same problem was independently considered by Joseph Keller, who was drawn to it for applications in electrohydrodynamics. Osserman's motivation was from differential geometry, with the observation that the scalar curvature of the Riemannian metric on the plane is given by An application of Osserman's non-existence theorem then shows: By a different maximum principle-based method, Shiu-Yuen Cheng and Shing-Tung Yau generalized the Keller–Osserman non-existence result, in part by a generalization to the setting of a Riemannian manifold. This was, in turn, an important piece of one of their resolutions of the Calabi–Jörgens problem on rigidity of affine hyperspheres with nonnegative mean curvature.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph%20continuous%20function
In mathematics, and in particular the study of game theory, a function is graph continuous if it exhibits the following properties. The concept was originally defined by Partha Dasgupta and Eric Maskin in 1986 and is a version of continuity that finds application in the study of continuous games. Notation and preliminaries Consider a game with agents with agent having strategy ; write for an N-tuple of actions (i.e. ) and as the vector of all agents' actions apart from agent . Let be the payoff function for agent . A game is defined as . Definition Function is graph continuous if for all there exists a function such that is continuous at . Dasgupta and Maskin named this property "graph continuity" because, if one plots a graph of a player's payoff as a function of his own strategy (keeping the other players' strategies fixed), then a graph-continuous payoff function will result in this graph changing continuously as one varies the strategies of the other players. The property is interesting in view of the following theorem. If, for , is non-empty, convex, and compact; and if is quasi-concave in , upper semi-continuous in , and graph continuous, then the game possesses a pure strategy Nash equilibrium.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lie%20product%20formula
In mathematics, the Lie product formula, named for Sophus Lie (1875), but also widely called the Trotter product formula, named after Hale Trotter, states that for arbitrary m × m real or complex matrices A and B, where eA denotes the matrix exponential of A. The Lie–Trotter product formula and the Trotter–Kato theorem extend this to certain unbounded linear operators A and B. This formula is an analogue of the classical exponential law which holds for all real or complex numbers x and y. If x and y are replaced with matrices A and B, and the exponential replaced with a matrix exponential, it is usually necessary for A and B to commute for the law to still hold. However, the Lie product formula holds for all matrices A and B, even ones which do not commute. The Lie product formula is conceptually related to the Baker–Campbell–Hausdorff formula, in that both are replacements, in the context of noncommuting operators, for the classical exponential law. The formula has applications, for example, in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics. It allows one to separate the Schrödinger evolution operator (propagator) into alternating increments of kinetic and potential operators (the Suzuki–Trotter decomposition, after Trotter and Masuo Suzuki). The same idea is used in the construction of splitting methods for the numerical solution of differential equations. Moreover, the Lie product theorem is sufficient to prove the Feynman–Kac formula. The Trotter–Kato theorem can be used for approximation of linear C0-semigroups. See also Time-evolving block decimation References Sophus Lie and Friedrich Engel (1888, 1890, 1893).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superellipsoid
In mathematics, a superellipsoid (or super-ellipsoid) is a solid whose horizontal sections are superellipses (Lamé curves) with the same squareness parameter , and whose vertical sections through the center are superellipses with the squareness parameter . It is a generalization of an ellipsoid, which is a special case when . Superellipsoids as computer graphics primitives were popularized by Alan H. Barr (who used the name "superquadrics" to refer to both superellipsoids and supertoroids). In modern computer vision and robotics literatures, superquadrics and superellipsoids are used interchangeably, since superellipsoids are the most representative and widely utilized shape among all the superquadrics. Superellipsoids have an rich shape vocabulary, including cuboids, cylinders, ellipsoids, octahedra and their intermediates. It becomes an important geometric primitive widely used in computer vision, robotics, and physical simulation. The main advantage of describing objects and envirionment with superellipsoids is its conciseness and expressiveness in shape. Furthermore, a closed-form expression of the Minkowski sum between two superellipsoids is available. This makes it a desirable geometric primitive for robot grasping, collision detection, and motion planning. Useful tools and algorithms for superquadric visualization, sampling, and recovery are open-sourced here. Special cases A handful of notable mathematical figures can arise as special cases of superellipsoids given the correct set of values, which are depicted in the above graphic: Cylinder Sphere Steinmetz solid Bicone Regular octahedron Cube, as a limiting case where the exponents tend to infinity Piet Hein's supereggs are also special cases of superellipsoids. Formulas Basic (normalized) superellipsoid The basic superellipsoid is defined by the implicit function The parameters and are positive real numbers that control the squareness of the shape. The surface of the superellipsoid is defined by the equation: For any given point , the point lies inside the superellipsoid if , and outside if . Any "parallel of latitude" of the superellipsoid (a horizontal section at any constant z between -1 and +1) is a Lamé curve with exponent , scaled by , which is Any "meridian of longitude" (a section by any vertical plane through the origin) is a Lamé curve with exponent , stretched horizontally by a factor w that depends on the sectioning plane. Namely, if and , for a given , then the section is where In particular, if is 1, the horizontal cross-sections are circles, and the horizontal stretching of the vertical sections is 1 for all planes. In that case, the superellipsoid is a solid of revolution, obtained by rotating the Lamé curve with exponent around the vertical axis. Superellipsoid The basic shape above extends from −1 to +1 along each coordinate axis. The general superellipsoid is obtained by scaling the basic shape along each axis by factors , , , the

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter%20Gautschi
Walter Gautschi (born December 11, 1927) is a Swiss-born American mathematician, writer and professor emeritus of Computer science and Mathematics at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. He is primarily known for his contributions to numerical analysis and has authored over 200 papers in his area and published four books. Early life and education Gautschi was born December 11, 1927 in Basel, Switzerland. His paternal family originally hailed from Reinach. He had one twin brother Werner (1927-1959). He completed a Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Basel on the thesis Analyse graphischer Integrationsmethoden advised by Alexander Ostrowski and Andreas Speiser (1953). Career Since then, he did postdoctoral work as a Janggen-Pöhn Research, Fellow at the Istituto Nazionale per le Applicazioni del Calcolo in Rome (1954) and at the Harvard Computation Laboratory (1955). He had positions at the National Bureau of Standards (1956–59), the American University in Washington D.C., the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (1959–63) before joining Purdue University where he has worked from 1963 to 2000 and now being professor emeritus. He has been a Fulbright Scholar at the Technical University of Munich (1970) and held visiting appointments at the University of Wisconsin–Madison (1976), Argonne National Laboratory, the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, ETH Zurich (1996-2001), the University of Padova (1997), and the University of Basel (2000). As well-known (e.g. Gerhard Wanner, Geneva ca. 2011 and the well-known first-hand sources and subsequent reports such as Math. Intelligencer, etc), one of Gautschi's most important contributions on numerical simulation of special functions offered evidence and confidence to de Branges's tour-de-force attack on the elusive Bieberbach conjecture on the magnitude of coefficients of schlicht functions, which hitherto received only slow, difficult and partial progress by work of Bieberbach, Loewner, Gabaredian and Schiffer. Personal life In 1960, Gautschi married Erika, who was previously married to his twin brother Werner (1927-1959). Werner was also an academic professor and lecturer and emigrated to the United States with his wife in 1956. After his sudden death, Erika returned to Switzerland, while being pregnant with her child to Basel were she met Walter and married him in 1960. They had three daughters; Theresa (1961-2018), married Ainsworth, two children; Emily Ainsworth (b. 1994) and Keith (b. 1997), formerly of Camas, Washington. Doris (b. 1965) Caroline Cari (b. 1969) Through his predeceased twin brother, he has stepson/nephew, Thomas (b. 1960). Gautschi still resides in West Lafayette, Indiana.

Many members of BSRLM are also involved in the Congress of the European Society for Research in Mathematics Education (CERME), the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (IGPME) and other international research organisations. Publications Proceedings of meetings of the Society are available online several weeks after each day conference. A peer reviewed journal, Research in Mathematics Education (RME) published by Taylor and Francis three times a year. Each year the Janet Duffin Award is made to the author or authors judged to making the most outstanding contribution to the journal. Structure The membership of BSRLM is made up mostly of researchers, students, teachers and education advisors. BSRLM is run by an elected executive committee of nine members. The current chair is Professor Jeremy Hodgen (University College London). Origins of BSRLM In the late 1960s and early 1970s there was a number of teacher trainers and university lecturers in the UK, principally teaching mathematics and psychology, who became involved in research in the learning and teaching of mathematics, and in the movement to establish mathematics education as an academic discipline. Two groups who were meeting during this period were the Psychology of Mathematics Education Workshop, principally in London, and the British Society for the Psychology of Learning Mathematics, in locations in the Midlands. Since many individuals attended both of these groups, they eventually came together as BSRLM in January 1985.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyhedral%20combinatorics
Polyhedral combinatorics is a branch of mathematics, within combinatorics and discrete geometry, that studies the problems of counting and describing the faces of convex polyhedra and higher-dimensional convex polytopes. Research in polyhedral combinatorics falls into two distinct areas. Mathematicians in this area study the combinatorics of polytopes; for instance, they seek inequalities that describe the relations between the numbers of vertices, edges, and faces of higher dimensions in arbitrary polytopes or in certain important subclasses of polytopes, and study other combinatorial properties of polytopes such as their connectivity and diameter (number of steps needed to reach any vertex from any other vertex). Additionally, many computer scientists use the phrase “polyhedral combinatorics” to describe research into precise descriptions of the faces of certain specific polytopes (especially 0-1 polytopes, whose vertices are subsets of a hypercube) arising from integer programming problems. Faces and face-counting vectors A face of a convex polytope P may be defined as the intersection of P and a closed halfspace H such that the boundary of H contains no interior point of P. The dimension of a face is the dimension of this hull. The 0-dimensional faces are the vertices themselves, and the 1-dimensional faces (called edges) are line segments connecting pairs of vertices. Note that this definition also includes as faces the empty set and the whole polytope P. If P itself has dimension d, the faces of P with dimension d − 1 are called facets of P and the faces with dimension d − 2 are called ridges. The faces of P may be partially ordered by inclusion, forming a face lattice that has as its top element P itself and as its bottom element the empty set. A key tool in polyhedral combinatorics is the ƒ-vector of a polytope, the vector (f0, f1, ..., fd − 1) where fi is the number of i-dimensional features of the polytope. For instance, a cube has eight vertices, twelve edges, and six facets, so its ƒ-vector is (8,12,6). The dual polytope has a ƒ-vector with the same numbers in the reverse order; thus, for instance, the regular octahedron, the dual to a cube, has the ƒ-vector (6,12,8). Configuration matrices include the f-vectors of regular polytopes as diagonal elements. The extended ƒ-vector is formed by concatenating the number one at each end of the ƒ-vector, counting the number of objects at all levels of the face lattice; on the left side of the vector, f−1 = 1 counts the empty set as a face, while on the right side, fd = 1 counts P itself. For the cube the extended ƒ-vector is (1,8,12,6,1) and for the octahedron it is (1,6,12,8,1). Although the vectors for these example polyhedra are unimodal (the coefficients, taken in left to right order, increase to a maximum and then decrease), there are higher-dimensional polytopes for which this is not true. For simplicial polytopes (polytopes in which every facet is a simplex), it is often convenien
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axis-aligned%20object
In geometry, an axis-aligned object (axis-parallel, axis-oriented) is an object in n-dimensional space whose shape is aligned with the coordinate axes of the space. Examples are axis-aligned rectangles (or hyperrectangles), the ones with edges parallel to the coordinate axes. Minimum bounding boxes are often implicitly assumed to be axis-aligned. A more general case is rectilinear polygons, the ones with all sides parallel to coordinate axes or rectilinear polyhedra. Many problems in computational geometry allow for faster algorithms when restricted to (collections of) axis-oriented objects, such as axis-aligned rectangles or axis-aligned line segments. A different kind of example are axis-aligned ellipsoids, i.e., the ellipsoids with principal axes parallel to the coordinate axes. References Geometry
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associahedron
In mathematics, an associahedron is an -dimensional convex polytope in which each vertex corresponds to a way of correctly inserting opening and closing parentheses in a string of letters, and the edges correspond to single application of the associativity rule. Equivalently, the vertices of an associahedron correspond to the triangulations of a regular polygon with sides and the edges correspond to edge flips in which a single diagonal is removed from a triangulation and replaced by a different diagonal. Associahedra are also called Stasheff polytopes after the work of Jim Stasheff, who rediscovered them in the early 1960s after earlier work on them by Dov Tamari. Examples The one-dimensional associahedron K3 represents the two parenthesizations ((xy)z) and (x(yz)) of three symbols, or the two triangulations of a square. It is itself a line segment. The two-dimensional associahedron K4 represents the five parenthesizations of four symbols, or the five triangulations of a regular pentagon. It is itself a pentagon and is related to the pentagon diagram of a monoidal category. The three-dimensional associahedron K5 is an enneahedron with nine faces (three disjoint quadrilaterals and six pentagons) and fourteen vertices, and its dual is the triaugmented triangular prism. Realization Initially Jim Stasheff considered these objects as curvilinear polytopes. Subsequently, they were given coordinates as convex polytopes in several different ways; see the introduction of for a survey. One method of realizing the associahedron is as the secondary polytope of a regular polygon. In this construction, each triangulation of a regular polygon with n + 1 sides corresponds to a point in (n + 1)-dimensional Euclidean space, whose ith coordinate is the total area of the triangles incident to the ith vertex of the polygon. For instance, the two triangulations of the unit square give rise in this way to two four-dimensional points with coordinates (1, 1/2, 1, 1/2) and (1/2, 1, 1/2, 1). The convex hull of these two points is the realization of the associahedron K3. Although it lives in a 4-dimensional space, it forms a line segment (a 1-dimensional polytope) within that space. Similarly, the associahedron K4 can be realized in this way as a regular pentagon in five-dimensional Euclidean space, whose vertex coordinates are the cyclic permutations of the vector (1, 2 + φ, 1, 1 + φ, 1 + φ) where φ denotes the golden ratio. Because the possible triangles within a regular hexagon have areas that are integer multiples of each other, this construction can be used to give integer coordinates (in six dimensions) to the three-dimensional associahedron K5; however (as the example of K4 already shows) this construction in general leads to irrational numbers as coordinates. Another realization, due to Jean-Louis Loday, is based on the correspondence of the vertices of the associahedron with n-leaf rooted binary trees, and directly produces integer coordinates in (n − 2
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree%20network
A tree topology, or star-bus topology, is a hybrid network topology in which star networks are interconnected via bus networks. Tree networks are hierarchical, and each node can have an arbitrary number of child nodes. Regular tree networks A regular tree network's topology is characterized by two parameters: the branching, , and the number of generations, . The total number of the nodes, , and the number of peripheral nodes , are given by Random tree networks Three parameters are crucial in determining the statistics of random tree networks, first, the branching probability, second the maximum number of allowed progenies at each branching point, and third the maximum number of generations, that a tree can attain. There are a lot of studies that address the large tree networks, however small tree networks are seldom studied. Tools to deal with networks A group at MIT has developed a set of functions for Matlab that can help in analyzing the networks. These tools could be used to study the tree networks as well.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertree%20network
A hypertree network is a network topology that shares some traits with the binary tree network. It is a variation of the fat tree architecture. A hypertree of degree k depth d may be visualized as a 3-dimensional object whose front view is the top-down complete k-ary tree of depth d and the side view is the bottom-up complete binary tree of depth d. Hypertrees were proposed in 1981 by James R. Goodman and Carlo Sequin. Hypertrees are a choice for parallel computer architecture, used, e.g., in the connection machine CM-5.

Gil Kalai (born 1955) is an Israeli mathematician and computer scientist. He is the Henry and Manya Noskwith Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, Professor of Computer Science at the Interdisciplinary Center, Herzliya, and adjunct Professor of mathematics and of computer science at Yale University, United States. Biography Kalai received his PhD from Hebrew University in 1983, under the supervision of Micha Perles, and joined the Hebrew University faculty in 1985 after a postdoctoral fellowship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was the recipient of the Pólya Prize in 1992, the Erdős Prize of the Israel Mathematical Society in 1993, and the Fulkerson Prize in 1994. He is known for finding variants of the simplex algorithm in linear programming that can be proven to run in subexponential time, for showing that every monotone property of graphs has a sharp phase transition, for solving Borsuk's problem (known as Borsuk's conjecture) on the number of pieces needed to partition convex sets into subsets of smaller diameter, and for his work on the Hirsch conjecture on the diameter of convex polytopes and in polyhedral combinatorics more generally. From 1995 to 2001, he was the Editor-in-Chief of the Israel Journal of Mathematics. In 2016, he was elected honorary member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. In 2018 he was a plenary speaker with talk Noise Stability, Noise Sensitivity and the Quantum Computer Puzzle at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Rio de Janeiro. Kalai's conjectures on quantum computing Kalai is a quantum computing skeptic who argues that true (classically unattainable) quantum computing will not be achieved because the necessary quality of quantum error correction cannot be reached. Conjecture 1 (No quantum error correction). The process for creating a quantum error-correcting code will necessarily lead to a mixture of the desired codewords with undesired codewords. The probability of the undesired codewords is uniformly bounded away from zero. (In every implementation of quantum error-correcting codes with one encoded qubit, the probability of not getting the intended qubit is at least some δ > 0, independently of the number of qubits used for encoding.) Conjecture 2. A noisy quantum computer is subject to noise in which information leaks for two substantially entangled qubits have a substantial positive correlation. Conjecture 3. In any quantum computer at a highly entangled state there will be a strong effect of error-synchronization. Conjecture 4. Noisy quantum processes are subject to detrimental noise. Recognition Kalai was the winner of the 2012 Rothschild Prize in mathematics. He was named to the 2023 class of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society, "for contributions to combinatorics, convexity, and their applications, as well as to the exposition and communication of mathematics".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed%20graph
In mathematics, and more specifically in graph theory, a directed graph (or digraph) is a graph that is made up of a set of vertices connected by directed edges, often called arcs. Definition In formal terms, a directed graph is an ordered pair where V is a set whose elements are called vertices, nodes, or points; A is a set of ordered pairs of vertices, called arcs, directed edges (sometimes simply edges with the corresponding set named E instead of A), arrows, or directed lines. It differs from an ordinary or undirected graph, in that the latter is defined in terms of unordered pairs of vertices, which are usually called edges, links or lines. The aforementioned definition does not allow a directed graph to have multiple arrows with the same source and target nodes, but some authors consider a broader definition that allows directed graphs to have such multiple arcs (namely, they allow the arc set to be a multiset). Sometimes these entities are called directed multigraphs (or multidigraphs). On the other hand, the aforementioned definition allows a directed graph to have loops (that is, arcs that directly connect nodes with themselves), but some authors consider a narrower definition that does not allow directed graphs to have loops. Directed graphs without loops may be called simple directed graphs, while directed graphs with loops may be called loop-digraphs (see section Types of directed graph). Types of directed graphs Subclasses Symmetric directed graphs are directed graphs where all edges appear twice, one in each direction (that is, for every arrow that belongs to the digraph, the corresponding inverse arrow also belongs to it). (Such an edge is sometimes called "bidirected" and such graphs are sometimes called "bidirected", but this conflicts with the meaning for bidirected graphs.) Simple directed graphs are directed graphs that have no loops (arrows that directly connect vertices to themselves) and no multiple arrows with same source and target nodes. As already introduced, in case of multiple arrows the entity is usually addressed as directed multigraph. Some authors describe digraphs with loops as loop-digraphs. Complete directed graphs are simple directed graphs where each pair of vertices is joined by a symmetric pair of directed arcs (it is equivalent to an undirected complete graph with the edges replaced by pairs of inverse arcs). It follows that a complete digraph is symmetric. Semicomplete multipartite digraphs are simple digraphs in which the vertex set is partitioned into sets such that for every pair of vertices x and y in different sets, there is an arc between x and y. There can be one arc between x and y or two arcs in opposite directions. Semicomplete digraphs are simple digraphs where there is an arc between each pair of vertices. Every semicomplete digraph is a semicomplete multipartite digraph in a trivial way, with each vertex constituting a set of the partition. Quasi-transitive digraphs are simple

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational%20number
In mathematics, a rational number is a number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction of two integers, a numerator and a non-zero denominator . For example, is a rational number, as is every integer (e.g., The set of all rational numbers, also referred to as "the rationals", the field of rationals or the field of rational numbers is usually denoted by boldface , or blackboard bold A rational number is a real number. The real numbers that are rational are those whose decimal expansion either terminates after a finite number of digits (example: ), or eventually begins to repeat the same finite sequence of digits over and over (example: ). This statement is true not only in base 10, but also in every other integer base, such as the binary and hexadecimal ones (see ). A real number that is not rational is called irrational. Irrational numbers include the square root of 2 , , and the golden ratio (). Since the set of rational numbers is countable, and the set of real numbers is uncountable, almost all real numbers are irrational. Rational numbers can be formally defined as equivalence classes of pairs of integers with , using the equivalence relation defined as follows: The fraction then denotes the equivalence class of . Rational numbers together with addition and multiplication form a field which contains the integers, and is contained in any field containing the integers. In other words, the field of rational numbers is a prime field, and a field has characteristic zero if and only if it contains the rational numbers as a subfield. Finite extensions of are called algebraic number fields, and the algebraic closure of is the field of algebraic numbers. In mathematical analysis, the rational numbers form a dense subset of the real numbers. The real numbers can be constructed from the rational numbers by completion, using Cauchy sequences, Dedekind cuts, or infinite decimals (see Construction of the real numbers). Terminology The term rational in reference to the set refers to the fact that a rational number represents a ratio of two integers. In mathematics, "rational" is often used as a noun abbreviating "rational number". The adjective rational sometimes means that the coefficients are rational numbers. For example, a rational point is a point with rational coordinates (i.e., a point whose coordinates are rational numbers); a rational matrix is a matrix of rational numbers; a rational polynomial may be a polynomial with rational coefficients, although the term "polynomial over the rationals" is generally preferred, to avoid confusion between "rational expression" and "rational function" (a polynomial is a rational expression and defines a rational function, even if its coefficients are not rational numbers). However, a rational curve is not a curve defined over the rationals, but a curve which can be parameterized by rational functions. Etymology Although nowadays rational numbers are defined in terms of ratios, the te
