The lituus spiral () is a spiral in which the angle is inversely proportional to the square of the radius . This spiral, which has two branches depending on the sign of , is asymptotic to the axis. Its points of inflexion are at The curve was named for the ancient Roman lituus by Roger Cotes in a collection of papers entitled Harmonia Mensurarum (1722), which was published six years after his death. Coordinate representations Polar coordinates The representations of the lituus spiral in polar coordinates is given by the equation where and . Cartesian coordinates The lituus spiral with the polar coordinates can be converted to Cartesian coordinates like any other spiral with the relationships and . With this conversion we get the parametric representations of the curve: These equations can in turn be rearranged to an equation in and : Divide by : Solve the equation of the lituus spiral in polar coordinates: Substitute : Substitute : Geometrical properties Curvature The curvature of the lituus spiral can be determined using the formula Arc length In general, the arc length of the lituus spiral cannot be expressed as a closed-form expression, but the arc length of the lituus spiral can be represented as a formula using the Gaussian hypergeometric function: where the arc length is measured from .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher-order%20singular%20value%20decomposition
In multilinear algebra, the higher-order singular value decomposition (HOSVD) of a tensor is a specific orthogonal Tucker decomposition. It may be regarded as one type of generalization of the matrix singular value decomposition. It has applications in computer vision, computer graphics, machine learning, scientific computing, and signal processing. Some aspects can be traced as far back as F. L. Hitchcock in 1928, but it was L. R. Tucker who developed for third-order tensors the general Tucker decomposition in the 1960s, further advocated by L. De Lathauwer et al. in their Multilinear SVD work that employs the power method, or advocated by Vasilescu and Terzopoulos that developed M-mode SVD a parallel algorithm that employs the matrix SVD. The term higher order singular value decomposition (HOSVD) was coined be DeLathauwer, but the algorithm referred to commonly in the literature as the HOSVD and attributed to either Tucker or DeLathauwer was developed by Vasilescu and Terzopoulos. Robust and L1-norm-based variants of HOSVD have also been proposed. Definition For the purpose of this article, the abstract tensor is assumed to be given in coordinates with respect to some basis as a M-way array, also denoted by , where M is the number of modes and the order of the tensor. is the complex numbers and it includes both the real numbers and the pure imaginary numbers. Let be a unitary matrix containing a basis of the left singular vectors of the standard mode-m flattening of such that the jth column of corresponds to the jth largest singular value of . Observe that the mode/factor matrix does not depend on the particular on the specific definition of the mode m flattening. By the properties of the multilinear multiplication, we havewhere denotes the conjugate transpose. The second equality is because the 's are unitary matrices. Define now the core tensorThen, the HOSVD of is the decomposition The above construction shows that every tensor has a HOSVD. Compact HOSVD As in the case of the compact singular value decomposition of a matrix, it is also possible to consider a compact HOSVD, which is very useful in applications. Assume that is a matrix with unitary columns containing a basis of the left singular vectors corresponding to the nonzero singular values of the standard factor-m flattening of . Let the columns of be sorted such that the th column of corresponds to the th largest nonzero singular value of . Since the columns of form a basis for the image of , we havewhere the first equality is due to the properties of orthogonal projections (in the Hermitian inner product) and the last equality is due to the properties of multilinear multiplication. As flattenings are bijective maps and the above formula is valid for all , we find as before thatwhere the core tensor is now of size . Multilinear rank The multilinear rank of is denoted with rank-. The multilinear rank is a tuple in where . Not all tuples in are multilinea

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian%20Luder
Ian David Luder (born 13 April 1951) was the 681st Lord Mayor of London, serving from 2008 to 2009. Biography Born into a Jewish family as the son of a mathematics teacher, Luder attended The Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School, Elstree before reading Economics and Economic History at University College London (BA). He then worked as a tax accountant for Arthur Andersen and later Grant Thornton. He regularly comments on tax matters and helped to found the Worshipful Company of Tax Advisers, and is a liveryman of the Coopers' Company. He entered local government as a Labour councillor on Bedford Borough Council, serving for 23 years from 1976 to 1999. Luder also stood for Parliament as the Labour candidate for Yeovil in 1979. Luder was Aldermanic Sheriff of London for 2007–08 and was elected Lord Mayor on 29 September 2008, taking office in the "Silent Ceremony" on 7 November. He was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2010 New Year Honours. In 2008, Luder and his wife were involved in a dispute with their neighbours over the neighbours' cat. Apparently the Luders had refused their neighbours' request to stop feeding the animal, who was overweight and had a heart condition, and in fact had shut the cat in their home for 36 hours while they were away. On 28 March 2012, Luder was announced as the new chairman of Basildon and Thurrock University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. He took up the post on 1 July that year. Shortly after his selection in January 2015 as a UKIP candidate for the 2015 general election, Luder stood down as Trust chairman. Politics In December 2014, Luder was one of five people on the shortlist to become United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) candidate for the constituency of South Basildon and East Thurrock at the 2015 general election. At the initial selection meeting he was not chosen as the candidate. Shortly afterwards, the successful candidate, Kerry Smith, resigned as UKIP's nominee for the seat after he was recorded making offensive remarks about fellow party members in a telephone conversation. A new selection was held in January 2015, which Luder won. Luder contested the general election and came second, polling 12,097 votes (26.5% of the total), 7,692 votes behind the incumbent Conservative candidate, Stephen Metcalfe. Smith polled 401 votes and finished in fifth place.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedhelm%20Waldhausen
Friedhelm Waldhausen (born 1938 in Millich, Hückelhoven, Rhine Province) is a German mathematician known for his work in algebraic topology. He made fundamental contributions in the fields of 3-manifolds and (algebraic) K-theory. Career Waldhausen studied mathematics at the universities of Göttingen, Munich and Bonn. He obtained his Ph.D. in 1966 from the University of Bonn; his advisor was Friedrich Hirzebruch and his thesis was entitled "Eine Klasse von 3-dimensionalen Mannigfaltigkeiten" (A class of 3-dimensional manifolds). After visits to Princeton University, the University of Illinois and the University of Michigan he moved in 1968 to the University of Kiel, where he completed his habilitation (qualified to assume a professorship). In 1969, he was appointed professor at the Ruhr University Bochum before in 1971 becoming a professor at Bielefeld University, an appointment he held until his retirement in 2004. Academic work His early work was mainly on the theory of 3-manifolds. He dealt mainly with Haken manifolds and Heegaard splitting. Among other things, he proved that, roughly speaking, any homotopy equivalence of Haken manifolds is homotopic to a homeomorphism, i.e. that closed Haken manifolds are topologically rigid. He put forward the Waldhausen conjecture about Heegaard splitting. In the mid-seventies, he extended the connection between geometric topology and algebraic K-theory by introducing A-theory, a kind of algebraic K-theory for topological spaces. This led to new foundations for algebraic K-theory (using what are now called Waldhausen categories) and also gave new impetus to the study of highly structured ring spectra. Recognition Today, Waldhausen is seen, together with Daniel Quillen, as one of the pioneers of algebraic K-theory. Among others, he was awarded the von Staudt Prize in 2004 along with Günter Harder, and an honorary doctorate from the Universität Osnabrück.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrapped%20normal%20distribution
In probability theory and directional statistics, a wrapped normal distribution is a wrapped probability distribution that results from the "wrapping" of the normal distribution around the unit circle. It finds application in the theory of Brownian motion and is a solution to the heat equation for periodic boundary conditions. It is closely approximated by the von Mises distribution, which, due to its mathematical simplicity and tractability, is the most commonly used distribution in directional statistics. Definition The probability density function of the wrapped normal distribution is where μ and σ are the mean and standard deviation of the unwrapped distribution, respectively. Expressing the above density function in terms of the characteristic function of the normal distribution yields: where is the Jacobi theta function, given by and The wrapped normal distribution may also be expressed in terms of the Jacobi triple product: where and Moments In terms of the circular variable the circular moments of the wrapped normal distribution are the characteristic function of the normal distribution evaluated at integer arguments: where is some interval of length . The first moment is then the average value of z, also known as the mean resultant, or mean resultant vector: The mean angle is and the length of the mean resultant is The circular standard deviation, which is a useful measure of dispersion for the wrapped normal distribution and its close relative, the von Mises distribution is given by: Estimation of parameters A series of N measurements zn = e iθn drawn from a wrapped normal distribution may be used to estimate certain parameters of the distribution. The average of the series is defined as and its expectation value will be just the first moment: In other words, is an unbiased estimator of the first moment. If we assume that the mean μ lies in the interval [−π, π), then Arg  will be a (biased) estimator of the mean μ. Viewing the zn as a set of vectors in the complex plane, the 2 statistic is the square of the length of the averaged vector: and its expected value is: In other words, the statistic will be an unbiased estimator of e−σ2, and ln(1/Re2) will be a (biased) estimator of σ2 Entropy The information entropy of the wrapped normal distribution is defined as: where is any interval of length . Defining and , the Jacobi triple product representation for the wrapped normal is: where is the Euler function. The logarithm of the density of the wrapped normal distribution may be written: Using the series expansion for the logarithm: the logarithmic sums may be written as: so that the logarithm of density of the wrapped normal distribution may be written as: which is essentially a Fourier series in . Using the characteristic function representation for the wrapped normal distribution in the left side of the integral: the entropy may be written: which may be integrated to yield: See also Wrapped d

In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society. Frank Morgan is also an avid dancer. He gained eternal fame for his work "Dancing the Parkway". Mathematical work He is known for proving, in collaboration with Michael Hutchings, Manuel Ritoré, and Antonio Ros, the Double Bubble conjecture, which states that the minimum-surface-area enclosure of two given volumes is formed by three spherical patches meeting at 120-degree angles at a common circle. He has also made contributions to the study of manifolds with density, which are Riemannian manifolds together with a measure of volume which is deformed from the standard Riemannian volume form. Such deformed volume measures suggest modifications of the Ricci curvature of the Riemannian manifold, as introduced by Dominique Bakry and Michel Émery. Morgan showed how to modify the classical Heintze-Karcher inequality, which controls the volume of certain cylindrical regions in the space by the Ricci curvature in the region and the mean curvature of the region's cross-section, to hold in the setting of manifolds with density. As a corollary, he was also able to put the Levy-Gromov isoperimetric inequality into this setting. Much of his current work deals with various aspects of isoperimetric inequalities and manifolds with density. Publications Textbooks Calculus Lite. Third edition.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morass%20%28set%20theory%29
In axiomatic set theory, a mathematical discipline, a morass is an infinite combinatorial structure, used to create "large" structures from a "small" number of "small" approximations. They were invented by Ronald Jensen for his proof that cardinal transfer theorems hold under the axiom of constructibility. A far less complex but equivalent variant known as a simplified morass was introduced by Velleman, and the term morass is now often used to mean these simpler structures. Overview Whilst it is possible to define so-called gap-n morasses for n > 1, they are so complex that focus is usually restricted to the gap-1 case, except for specific applications. The "gap" is essentially the cardinal difference between the size of the "small approximations" used and the size of the ultimate structure. A (gap-1) morass on an uncountable regular cardinal κ (also called a (κ,1)-morass) consists of a tree of height κ + 1, with the top level having κ+-many nodes. The nodes are taken to be ordinals, and functions between these ordinals are associated to the edges in the tree order. It is required that the ordinal structure of the top level nodes be "built up" as the direct limit of the ordinals in the branch to that node by the maps π, so the lower level nodes can be thought of as approximations to the (larger) top level node. A long list of further axioms is imposed to have this happen in a particularly "nice" way. Variants and equivalents Velleman and Shelah and Stanley independently developed forcing axioms equivalent to the existence of morasses, to facilitate their use by non-experts. Going further, Velleman showed that the existence of morasses is equivalent to simplified morasses, which are vastly simpler structures. However, the only known construction of a simplified morass in Gödel's constructible universe is by means of morasses, so the original notion retains interest. Other variants on morasses, generally with added structure, have also appeared over the years. These include universal morasses, whereby every subset of κ is built up through the branches of the morass, mangroves, which are morasses stratified into levels (mangals) at which every branch must have a node, and quagmires. Simplified morass Velleman defined gap-1 simplified morasses which are much simpler than gap-1 morasses, and showed that the existence of gap-1 morasses is equivalent to the existence of gap-1 simplified morasses. Roughly speaking: a (κ,1)-simplified morass M = < φ→, F⇒ > contains a sequence φ→ = < φβ : β ≤ κ > of ordinals such that φβ < κ for β < κ and φκ = κ+, and a double sequence F⇒ = < Fα,β : α < β ≤ κ > where Fα,β are collections of monotone mappings from φα to φβ for α < β  ≤ κ with specific (easy but important) conditions. Velleman's clear definition can be found in, where he also constructed (ω0,1) simplified morasses in ZFC. In he gave similar simple definitions for gap-2 simplified morasses, and in he constructed (ω0,2) simplified morass
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph%20canonization
In graph theory, a branch of mathematics, graph canonization is the problem of finding a canonical form of a given graph G. A canonical form is a labeled graph Canon(G) that is isomorphic to G, such that every graph that is isomorphic to G has the same canonical form as G. Thus, from a solution to the graph canonization problem, one could also solve the problem of graph isomorphism: to test whether two graphs G and H are isomorphic, compute their canonical forms Canon(G) and Canon(H), and test whether these two canonical forms are identical. The canonical form of a graph is an example of a complete graph invariant: every two isomorphic graphs have the same canonical form, and every two non-isomorphic graphs have different canonical forms. Conversely, every complete invariant of graphs may be used to construct a canonical form. The vertex set of an n-vertex graph may be identified with the integers from 1 to n, and using such an identification a canonical form of a graph may also be described as a permutation of its vertices. Canonical forms of a graph are also called canonical labelings, and graph canonization is also sometimes known as graph canonicalization. Computational complexity Clearly, the graph canonization problem is at least as computationally hard as the graph isomorphism problem. In fact, graph isomorphism is even AC0-reducible to graph canonization. However, it is still an open question whether the two problems are polynomial time equivalent. While the existence of (deterministic) polynomial algorithms for graph isomorphism is still an open problem in computational complexity theory, in 1977 László Babai reported that with probability at least 1 − exp(−O(n)), a simple vertex classification algorithm produces a canonical labeling of a graph chosen uniformly at random from the set of all n-vertex graphs after only two refinement steps. Small modifications and an added depth-first search step produce canonical labeling of such uniformly-chosen random graphs in linear expected time. This result sheds some light on the fact why many reported graph isomorphism algorithms behave well in practice. This was an important breakthrough in probabilistic complexity theory which became widely known in its manuscript form and which was still cited as an "unpublished manuscript" long after it was reported at a symposium. A commonly known canonical form is the lexicographically smallest graph within the isomorphism class, which is the graph of the class with lexicographically smallest adjacency matrix considered as a linear string. However, the computation of the lexicographically smallest graph is NP-hard. For trees, a concise polynomial canonization algorithm requiring O(n) space is presented by . Begin by labeling each vertex with the string 01. Iteratively for each non-leaf x remove the leading 0 and trailing 1 from x's label; then sort x's label along with the labels of all adjacent leaves in lexicographic order. Concatenate these sorted

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landsberg%E2%80%93Schaar%20relation
In number theory and harmonic analysis, the Landsberg–Schaar relation (or identity) is the following equation, which is valid for arbitrary positive integers p and q: The standard way to prove it is to put  =  + ε, where ε > 0 in this identity due to Jacobi (which is essentially just a special case of the Poisson summation formula in classical harmonic analysis): and then let ε → 0. A proof using only finite methods was discovered in 2018 by Ben Moore. If we let q = 1, the identity reduces to a formula for the quadratic Gauss sum modulo p. The Landsberg–Schaar identity can be rephrased more symmetrically as provided that we add the hypothesis that pq is an even number. References Theorems in analytic number theory
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newlands%20Labor%20Act
The Newlands Labor Act, was a 1913 United States federal law, sponsored by Senator Francis G. Newlands of Nevada and drafted by Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner Charles Patrick Neill. It created the Board of Mediation and Conciliation (BMC). The BMC was a precursor to today's National Mediation Board (NMB). Background In response to railroad strikes during the 1870s and 1880s, Congress passed the Arbitration Act of 1888, which authorized the creation of arbitration panels with the power to investigate the causes of labor disputes and to issue non-binding arbitration awards. The Act was a complete failure: only one panel was ever convened under the Act, and that one, in the case of the 1894 Pullman Strike, issued its report only after the strike had been crushed by a federal court injunction backed by federal troops. Congress attempted to correct these shortcomings in the Erdman Act, passed in 1898. This law likewise provided for voluntary arbitration, but made any award issued by the panel binding and enforceable in federal court. It also outlawed discrimination against employees for union activities, prohibited "yellow dog" contracts (employee agrees not to join a union while employed), and required both sides to maintain the status quo during any arbitration proceedings and for three months after an award was issued. The arbitration procedures were rarely used. Newlands Act and the BMC President Woodrow Wilson signed the Newlands Act on July 15, 1913. The law created the Board of Mediation and Conciliation, which was administered by U.S. Commerce and District Court Judge Martin Augustine Knapp and assisted by U.S. Alabama District Court Judge and Commissioner William Lea Chambers. The Board adjusted and arbitrated disputes between railroad companies and their operating employees, where those disputes threatened to interrupt operation of the carriers to the "serious detriment of the public interest." Voluntary arbitration was also provided for those disputes that could not be settled by mediation. The Board was functionally replaced on December 26, 1917, by the creation of the United States Railroad Administration, although it continued to exist with its activities restricted to short-line railroads. In 1920, the Esch–Cummins Act (formally called the Transportation Act) created a new Railroad Labor Board which regulated wages and settled disputes, and permanently replaced the duties of the BMC. On May 20, 1926, Congress repealed the Newlands Labor Act and Title III of the Esch–Cummins Act (which pertained to labor disputes), with the enactment of the Railway Labor Act.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum%20t-design
A quantum t-design is a probability distribution over either pure quantum states or unitary operators which can duplicate properties of the probability distribution over the Haar measure for polynomials of degree t or less. Specifically, the average of any polynomial function of degree t over the design is exactly the same as the average over Haar measure. Here the Haar measure is a uniform probability distribution over all quantum states or over all unitary operators. Quantum t-designs are so called because they are analogous to t-designs in classical statistics, which arose historically in connection with the problem of design of experiments. Two particularly important types of t-designs in quantum mechanics are projective and unitary t-designs. A spherical design is a collection of points on the unit sphere for which polynomials of bounded degree can be averaged over to obtain the same value that integrating over surface measure on the sphere gives. Spherical and projective t-designs derive their names from the works of Delsarte, Goethals, and Seidel in the late 1970s, but these objects played earlier roles in several branches of mathematics, including numerical integration and number theory. Particular examples of these objects have found uses in quantum information theory, quantum cryptography, and other related fields. Unitary t-designs are analogous to spherical designs in that they reproduce the entire unitary group via a finite collection of unitary matrices. The theory of unitary 2-designs was developed in 2006 specifically to achieve a practical means of efficient and scalable randomized benchmarking to assess the errors in quantum computing operations, called gates. Since then unitary t-designs have been found useful in other areas of quantum computing and more broadly in quantum information theory and applied to problems as far reaching as the black hole information paradox. Unitary t-designs are especially relevant to randomization tasks in quantum computing since ideal operations are usually represented by unitary operators. Motivation In a d-dimensional Hilbert space when averaging over all quantum pure states the natural group is SU(d), the special unitary group of dimension d. The Haar measure is, by definition, the unique group-invariant measure, so it is used to average properties that are not unitarily invariant over all states, or over all unitaries. A particularly widely used example of this is the spin system. For this system the relevant group is SU(2) which is the group of all 2x2 unitary operators with determinant 1. Since every operator in SU(2) is a rotation of the Bloch sphere, the Haar measure for spin-1/2 particles is invariant under all rotations of the Bloch sphere. This implies that the Haar measure is the rotationally invariant measure on the Bloch sphere, which can be thought of as a constant density distribution over the surface of the sphere. An important class of complex projective t-designs, are s

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicsek%20fractal
In mathematics the Vicsek fractal, also known as Vicsek snowflake or box fractal, is a fractal arising from a construction similar to that of the Sierpinski carpet, proposed by Tamás Vicsek. It has applications including as compact antennas, particularly in cellular phones. Box fractal also refers to various iterated fractals created by a square or rectangular grid with various boxes removed or absent and, at each iteration, those present and/or those absent have the previous image scaled down and drawn within them. The Sierpinski triangle may be approximated by a box fractal with one corner removed. The Sierpinski carpet is a box fractal with the middle square removed. Construction The basic square is decomposed into nine smaller squares in the 3-by-3 grid. The four squares at the corners and the middle square are left, the other squares being removed. The process is repeated recursively for each of the five remaining subsquares. The Vicsek fractal is the set obtained at the limit of this procedure. The Hausdorff dimension of this fractal is ≈ 1.46497. An alternative construction (shown below in the left image) is to remove the four corner squares and leave the middle square and the squares above, below, left and right of it. The two constructions produce identical limiting curves, but one is rotated by 45 degrees with respect to the other. Properties The Vicsek fractal has the surprising property that it has zero area yet an infinite perimeter, due to its non-integer dimension. At each iteration, four squares are removed for every five retained, meaning that at iteration n the area is (assuming an initial square of side length 1). When n approached infinity, the area approaches zero. The perimeter however is , because each side is divided into three parts and the center one is replaced with three sides, yielding an increase of three to five. The perimeter approaches infinity as n increases. The boundary of the Vicsek fractal is the Type 1 quadratic Koch curve. Analogues in higher dimensions There is a three-dimensional analogue of the Vicsek fractal. It is constructed by subdividing each cube into 27 smaller ones, and removing all but the "center cross", the central cube and the six cubes touching the center of each face. Its Hausdorff dimension is ≈ 1.7712. Similarly to the two-dimensional Vicsek fractal, this figure has zero volume. Each iteration retains 7 cubes for every 27, resulting in a volume of at iteration n, which approaches zero as n approaches infinity. There exist an infinite number of cross sections which yield the two-dimensional Vicsek fractal.

Demographic economics or population economics is the application of economic analysis to demography, the study of human populations, including size, growth, density, distribution, and vital statistics. Aspects Aspects of the subject include: marriage and fertility the family divorce morbidity and life expectancy/mortality dependency ratios migration population growth population size public policy the demographic transition from "population explosion" to (dynamic) stability or decline. Other subfields include measuring value of life and the economics of the elderly and the handicapped and of gender, race, minorities, and non-labor discrimination. In coverage and subfields, it complements labor economics and implicates a variety of other economics subjects. Subareas The Journal of Economic Literature classification codes are a way of categorizing subjects in economics. There, demographic economics is paired with labour economics as one of 19 primary classifications at JEL: J. It has eight subareas: General Demographic Trends and Forecasts Marriage; Marital Dissolution; Family Structure Fertility; Family Planning; Child Care; Children; Youth Economics of the Elderly; Economics of the Handicapped Economics of Minorities and Races; Non-labor Discrimination Economics of Gender; Non-labor Discrimination Value of life; Foregone Income Public Policy See also Cost of raising a child Family economics Generational accounting Growth economics Retirement age, international comparison Related: Income and fertility Demographic dividend Demographic transition Demographic gift Demographic window Demographic trap Preston curve Development economics Notes References John Eatwell, Murray Milgate, and Peter Newman, ed.

Rocket City Math League (RCML) is a student-run mathematics competition in the United States. Run by students at Virgil I. Grissom High School in Huntsville, Alabama, RCML gets its name from Huntsville's nickname as the "Rocket City". RCML was started in 2001 and has been annually sponsored by the Mu Alpha Theta Math Honor Society. The competition consists of three individual rounds and a team round that was added in 2008. It is divided into five divisions named for NASA programs: Explorer (pre-algebra), Mercury (algebra I), Gemini (geometry), Apollo (algebra II), and Discovery (comprehensive). Individual rounds Each of the 3 individual rounds consists of a 10 question test with a 30-minute time limit. Out of the 10 questions, there are four 1-point questions, three 2-point questions, two 3-point questions, and one 4-point question, with the more difficult questions having larger point values. The maximum score on an individual test is 20, and individual tests often contain many interesting space-themed questions. Team round The team round is divided into a senior division and a junior division that take separate tests for the team round. It consists of a 15 question test with a 30-minute time limit, in which team members work together to get as many correct answers as possible. Out of the 15 questions, there are five 1-point questions, four 2-point questions, three 3-point questions, two 4-point questions, and one 5-point question, making the maximum score on the team test a 35.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/836%20%28number%29
836 (eight hundred [and] thirty-six) is the natural number following 835 and preceding 837. In mathematics The factorization of 836 is , so its proper factors are 1, 2, 4, 11, 19, 22, 38, 44, 76, 209, and 418. They sum to 844. As this is greater than 836, it is an abundant number, but no subset sums to 836, so it is not a semiperfect number; therefore it is a weird number. Besides, 836 is the smallest weird number that is also an untouchable number, i.e. there is no n such that the sum of proper factors of n equals 836. (The only smaller weird number 70 is not untouchable, since σ(134) − 134 = 70) See also 836 (year) 836 Jole (asteroid) 836th Air Division, an inactive United States Air Force organization 836 Naval Air Squadron, a World War II organization in the British Navy Pi Arietis, designated as object 836 in the Bright Star catalogue References Integers

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von%20Neumann%20paradox
In mathematics, the von Neumann paradox, named after John von Neumann, is the idea that one can break a planar figure such as the unit square into sets of points and subject each set to an area-preserving affine transformation such that the result is two planar figures of the same size as the original. This was proved in 1929 by John von Neumann, assuming the axiom of choice. It is based on the earlier Banach–Tarski paradox, which is in turn based on the Hausdorff paradox. Banach and Tarski had proved that, using isometric transformations, the result of taking apart and reassembling a two-dimensional figure would necessarily have the same area as the original. This would make creating two unit squares out of one impossible. But von Neumann realized that the trick of such so-called paradoxical decompositions was the use of a group of transformations that include as a subgroup a free group with two generators. The group of area-preserving transformations (whether the special linear group or the special affine group) contains such subgroups, and this opens the possibility of performing paradoxical decompositions using them. Sketch of the method The following is an informal description of the method found by von Neumann. Assume that we have a free group H of area-preserving linear transformations generated by two transformations, σ and τ, which are not far from the identity element. Being a free group means that all its elements can be expressed uniquely in the form for some n, where the s and s are all non-zero integers, except possibly the first and the last . We can divide this group into two parts: those that start on the left with σ to some non-zero power (we call this set A) and those that start with τ to some power (that is, is zero—we call this set B, and it includes the identity). If we operate on any point in Euclidean 2-space by the various elements of H we get what is called the orbit of that point. All the points in the plane can thus be classed into orbits, of which there are an infinite number with the cardinality of the continuum. Using the axiom of choice, we can choose one point from each orbit and call the set of these points M. We exclude the origin, which is a fixed point in H. If we then operate on M by all the elements of H, we generate each point of the plane (except the origin) exactly once. If we operate on M by all the elements of A or of B, we get two disjoint sets whose union is all points but the origin. Now we take some figure such as the unit square or the unit disk. We then choose another figure totally inside it, such as a smaller square, centred at the origin. We can cover the big figure with several copies of the small figure, albeit with some points covered by two or more copies. We can then assign each point of the big figure to one of the copies of the small figure. Let us call the sets corresponding to each copy . We shall now make a one-to-one mapping of each point in the big figure to a point in its i

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baum%E2%80%93Sweet%20sequence
In mathematics the Baum–Sweet sequence is an infinite automatic sequence of 0s and 1s defined by the rule: bn = 1 if the binary representation of n contains no block of consecutive 0s of odd length; bn = 0 otherwise; for n ≥ 0. For example, b4 = 1 because the binary representation of 4 is 100, which only contains one block of consecutive 0s of length 2; whereas b5 = 0 because the binary representation of 5 is 101, which contains a block of consecutive 0s of length 1. Starting at n = 0, the first few terms of the Baum–Sweet sequence are: 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1 ... Historical motivation The properties of the sequence were first studied by Leonard E. Baum and Melvin M. Sweet in 1976. In 1949, Khinchin conjectured that there does not exist a non-quadratic algebraic real number having bounded partial quotients in its continued fraction expansion. A counterexample to this conjecture is still not known. Baum and Sweet's paper showed that the same expectation is not met for algebraic power series. They gave an example of cubic power series in whose partial quotients are bounded. (The degree of the power series in Baum and Sweet's result is analogous to the degree of the field extension associated with the algebraic real in Khinchin's conjecture.) One of the series considered in Baum and Sweet's paper is a root of The authors show that by Hensel's lemma, there is a unique such root in because reducing the defining equation of modulo gives , which factors as They go on to prove that this unique root has partial quotients of degree . Before doing so, they state (in the remark following Theorem 2, p 598) that the root can be written in the form where and for if and only if the binary expansion of contains only even length blocks of 's. This is the origin of the Baum–Sweet sequence. Mkaouar and Yao proved that the partial quotients of the continued fraction for above do not form an automatic sequence. However, the sequence of partial quotients can be generated by a non-uniform morphism. Properties The Baum–Sweet sequence can be generated by a 3-state automaton. The value of term bn in the Baum–Sweet sequence can be found recursively as follows. If n = m·4k, where m is not divisible by 4 (or is 0), then Thus b76 = b9 = b4 = b0 = 1, which can be verified by observing that the binary representation of 76, which is 1001100, contains no consecutive blocks of 0s with odd length. The Baum–Sweet word 1101100101001001..., which is created by concatenating the terms of the Baum–Sweet sequence, is a fixed point of the morphism or string substitution rules 00 → 0000 01 → 1001 10 → 0100 11 → 1101 as follows: 11 → 1101 → 11011001 → 1101100101001001 → 11011001010010011001000001001001 ... From the morphism rules it can be seen that the Baum–Sweet word contains blocks of consecutive 0s of any length (bn = 0 for all 2k integers in the range 5.2k ≤ n < 6.2k), but it contains no block of three consecutive 1s.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Princeton%20Companion%20to%20Mathematics
The Princeton Companion to Mathematics is a book providing an extensive overview of mathematics that was published in 2008 by Princeton University Press. Edited by Timothy Gowers with associate editors June Barrow-Green and Imre Leader, it has been noted for the high caliber of its contributors. The book was the 2011 winner of the Euler Book Prize of the Mathematical Association of America, given annually to "an outstanding book about mathematics". Topics and organization The book concentrates primarily on modern pure mathematics rather than applied mathematics, although it does also cover both applications of mathematics and the mathematics that relates to those applications; it provides a broad overview of the significant ideas and developments in research mathematics. It is organized into eight parts: An introduction to mathematics, outlining the major areas of study, key definitions, and the goals and purposes of mathematical research. An overview of the history of mathematics, in seven chapters including the development of important concepts such as number, geometry, mathematical proof, and the axiomatic approach to the foundations of mathematics. A chronology of significant events in mathematical history is also provided later in the book. Three core sections, totalling approximately 600 pages. The first of these sections provides an alphabetized set of articles on 99 specific mathematical concepts such as the axiom of choice, expander graphs, and Hilbert space. The second core section includes long surveys of 26 branches of research mathematics such as algebraic geometry and combinatorial group theory. The third describes 38 important mathematical problems and theorems such as the four color theorem, the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, and the Halting problem. A collection of biographies of nearly 100 famous deceased mathematicians, arranged chronologically, also including a history of Nicolas Bourbaki's pseudonymous collaboration. Essays describing the influences and applications of mathematics in the sciences, technology, business, medicine, and the fine arts. A section of perspectives on the future of mathematics, problem solving techniques, the ubiquity of mathematics, and advice to young mathematicians. Despite its length, the range of topics included is selective rather than comprehensive: some important established topics such as diophantine approximation are omitted, transcendental number theory, differential geometry, and cohomology get short shrift, and the most recent frontiers of research are also generally not included. Target audience The book's authors have attempted to keep their work accessible by forgoing abstraction and technical nomenclature as much as possible and by making heavy use of concrete examples and illustrations. Compared to the concise and factual coverage of mathematics in sources such as Wikipedia and MathWorld, the articles in the Princeton Companion are intended to be more reflective and discursi
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garside%20element
In mathematics, a Garside element is an element of an algebraic structure such as a monoid that has several desirable properties. Formally, if M is a monoid, then an element Δ of M is said to be a Garside element if the set of all right divisors of Δ, is the same set as the set of all left divisors of Δ, and this set generates M. A Garside element is in general not unique: any power of a Garside element is again a Garside element. Garside monoid and Garside group A Garside monoid is a monoid with the following properties: Finitely generated and atomic; Cancellative; The partial order relations of divisibility are lattices; There exists a Garside element. A Garside monoid satisfies the Ore condition for multiplicative sets and hence embeds in its group of fractions: such a group is a Garside group. A Garside group is biautomatic and hence has soluble word problem and conjugacy problem. Examples of such groups include braid groups and, more generally, Artin groups of finite Coxeter type. The name was coined by Patrick Dehornoy and Luis Paris to mark the work on the conjugacy problem for braid groups of Frank Arnold Garside (1915–1988), a teacher at Magdalen College School, Oxford who served as Lord Mayor of Oxford in 1984–1985.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymmetric%20graph
In graph theory, a branch of mathematics, an undirected graph is called an asymmetric graph if it has no nontrivial symmetries. Formally, an automorphism of a graph is a permutation of its vertices with the property that any two vertices and are adjacent if and only if and are adjacent. The identity mapping of a graph onto itself is always an automorphism, and is called the trivial automorphism of the graph. An asymmetric graph is a graph for which there are no other automorphisms. Note that the term "asymmetric graph" is not a negation of the term "symmetric graph," as the latter refers to a stronger condition than possessing nontrivial symmetries. Examples The smallest asymmetric non-trivial graphs have 6 vertices. The smallest asymmetric regular graphs have ten vertices; there exist ten-vertex asymmetric graphs that are 4-regular and 5-regular. One of the five smallest asymmetric cubic graphs is the twelve-vertex Frucht graph discovered in 1939. According to a strengthened version of Frucht's theorem, there are infinitely many asymmetric cubic graphs. Properties The class of asymmetric graphs is closed under complements: a graph G is asymmetric if and only if its complement is. Any n-vertex asymmetric graph can be made symmetric by adding and removing a total of at most n/2 + o(n) edges. Random graphs The proportion of graphs on n vertices with nontrivial automorphism tends to zero as n grows, which is informally expressed as "almost all finite graphs are asymmetric". In contrast, again informally, "almost all infinite graphs have nontrivial symmetries." More specifically, countable infinite random graphs in the Erdős–Rényi model are, with probability 1, isomorphic to the highly symmetric Rado graph. Trees The smallest asymmetric tree has seven vertices: it consists of three paths of lengths 1, 2, and 3, linked at a common endpoint. In contrast to the situation for graphs, almost all trees are symmetric. In particular, if a tree is chosen uniformly at random among all trees on n labeled nodes, then with probability tending to 1 as n increases, the tree will contain some two leaves adjacent to the same node and will have symmetries exchanging these two leaves.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIDS%20orphan
An AIDS orphan is a child who became an orphan because one or both parents died from AIDS. In statistics from the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the term is used for a child whose mother has died due to AIDS before the child's 15th birthday, regardless of whether the father is still alive. As a result of this definition, one study estimated that 80% of all AIDS orphans still have one living parent. There are 70,000 new AIDS orphans a year (as of 2001). Because AIDS affects mainly those who are sexually active, AIDS-related deaths are often people who are their family's primary wage earners. The resulting AIDS orphans frequently depend on the state for care and financial support, particularly in Africa. The highest number of orphans due to AIDS alive in 2007 was in South Africa (although the definition of AIDS orphan in South African statistics includes children up to the age of 18 who have lost either biological parent). In 2005 the highest number of AIDS orphans as a percentage of all orphans was in Zimbabwe.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistanis%20in%20Japan
form the country's third-largest community of immigrants from a Muslim-majority country, trailing only the Indonesian community and Bangladeshi community. As of June 2023, official statistics showed 23,417 registered foreigners of Pakistani origin living in the country. There were a further estimated 3,414 illegal immigrants from Pakistan in Japan as of 2000. The average increase in the Pakistani population is about 2-3 persons per day. Migration history As early as 1950, only three years after the independence of Pakistan in 1947 which created the Pakistani state, there were recorded to be four Pakistanis living in Japan. However, Pakistani migration to Japan would not grow to a large scale until the 1980s. The later Pakistani migrants in Japan largely come from a muhajir background; their family history of migration made them consider working overseas as a "natural choice" when they found opportunities at home to be too limited. While Pakistanis saw North America as a good destination to settle down and start a business, Japanese employment agencies commonly advertised in Karachi newspapers in the 1980s, when Japan offered some of the highest wages in the world for unskilled labour; it came to be preferred as a destination by single male migrants, who came without their families. The wages they earned could reach as high as twenty times what they made in Pakistan. Pakistani citizens once enjoyed the privilege of short-term visa-free entry to Japan, but when controversy arose in Japanese society over illegal foreign workers, the Japanese government revoked this privilege. With little chance of acquiring a work visa or even permission to enter the country, Pakistanis paid as much as ¥300,000 to people smugglers in the late 1980s and early 1990s to enter the country. According to Japanese government statistics, the number of Pakistanis illegally residing in Japan peaked in 1992 at 8,056 individuals and declined after that. However, Pakistani sources suggest that as late as 1999, the total population of Pakistanis was 25,000 and still included a significant amount of illegal immigrants. Some Pakistanis were able to obtain legal resident status by finding Japanese spouses. Demographics According to 2008 Japanese government figures, 19.9% of registered Pakistanis lived in Saitama, 17.8% in Tokyo, 12.3% in Kanagawa, 10.4% in Aichi, 8.98% in Chiba, 7.59% in Gunma, 6.02% in Ibaraki, 4.44% in Tochigi, 4.21% in Toyama, 3.27% in Shizuoka and the remaining 4.98% in other prefectures of Japan. Only an estimated 200 Pakistanis hold Japanese citizenship. Business and employment Many Pakistanis in Japan run used car export businesses. This trend was believed to have begun in the late 1970s, when one Pakistani working in Japan sent a car back to his homeland. The potential for doing business in used cars also attracted more Pakistanis to come to Japan in the 1990s. Though many migrants come from a middle-class family background in Pakistan, because they of
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudin%E2%80%93Shapiro%20sequence
In mathematics, the Rudin–Shapiro sequence, also known as the Golay–Rudin–Shapiro sequence, is an infinite 2-automatic sequence named after Marcel Golay, Walter Rudin, and Harold S. Shapiro, who independently investigated its properties. Definition Each term of the Rudin–Shapiro sequence is either or . If the binary expansion of is given by then let (So is the number of times the block 11 appears in the binary expansion of .) The Rudin–Shapiro sequence is then defined by Thus if is even and if is odd. The sequence is known as the complete Rudin–Shapiro sequence, and starting at , its first few terms are: 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, ... and the corresponding terms of the Rudin–Shapiro sequence are: +1, +1, +1, −1, +1, +1, −1, +1, +1, +1, +1, −1, −1, −1, +1, −1, ... For example, and because the binary representation of 6 is 110, which contains one occurrence of 11; whereas and because the binary representation of 7 is 111, which contains two (overlapping) occurrences of 11. Historical motivation The Rudin–Shapiro sequence was introduced independently by Golay, Rudin, and Shapiro. The following is a description of Rudin's motivation. In Fourier analysis, one is often concerned with the norm of a measurable function . This norm is defined by One can prove that for any sequence with each in , Moreover, for almost every sequence with each is in , However, the Rudin–Shapiro sequence satisfies a tighter bound: there exists a constant such that It is conjectured that one can take , but while it is known that , the best published upper bound is currently . Let be the n-th Shapiro polynomial. Then, when , the above inequality gives a bound on . More recently, bounds have also been given for the magnitude of the coefficients of where . Shapiro arrived at the sequence because the polynomials where is the Rudin–Shapiro sequence, have absolute value bounded on the complex unit circle by . This is discussed in more detail in the article on Shapiro polynomials. Golay's motivation was similar, although he was concerned with applications to spectroscopy and published in an optics journal. Properties The Rudin–Shapiro sequence can be generated by a 4-state automaton accepting binary representations of non-negative integers as input. The sequence is therefore 2-automatic, so by Cobham's little theorem there exists a 2-uniform morphism with fixed point and a coding such that , where is the Rudin–Shapiro sequence. However, the Rudin–Shapiro sequence cannot be expressed as the fixed point of some uniform morphism alone. There is a recursive definition The values of the terms rn and un in the Rudin–Shapiro sequence can be found recursively as follows. If n = m·2k where m is odd then Thus u108 = u13 + 1 = u3 + 1 = u1 + 2 = u0 + 2 = 2, which can be verified by observing that the binary representation of 108, which is 1101100, contains two sub-strings 11. And so r108 = (−1)2 = +1. A 2-uniform morphism

The trinomial tree is a lattice-based computational model used in financial mathematics to price options. It was developed by Phelim Boyle in 1986. It is an extension of the binomial options pricing model, and is conceptually similar. It can also be shown that the approach is equivalent to the explicit finite difference method for option pricing. For fixed income and interest rate derivatives see Lattice model (finance)#Interest rate derivatives. Formula Under the trinomial method, the underlying stock price is modeled as a recombining tree, where, at each node the price has three possible paths: an up, down and stable or middle path. These values are found by multiplying the value at the current node by the appropriate factor , or where (the structure is recombining) and the corresponding probabilities are: . In the above formulae: is the length of time per step in the tree and is simply time to maturity divided by the number of time steps; is the risk-free interest rate over this maturity; is the corresponding volatility of the underlying; is its corresponding dividend yield. As with the binomial model, these factors and probabilities are specified so as to ensure that the price of the underlying evolves as a martingale, while the moments considering node spacing and probabilities are matched to those of the log-normal distribution (and with increasing accuracy for smaller time-steps). Note that for , , and to be in the interval the following condition on has to be satisfied . Once the tree of prices has been calculated, the option price is found at each node largely as for the binomial model, by working backwards from the final nodes to the present node (). The difference being that the option value at each non-final node is determined based on the threeas opposed to two later nodes and their corresponding probabilities. If the length of time-steps is taken as an exponentially distributed random variable and interpreted as the waiting time between two movements of the stock price then the resulting stochastic process is a birth–death process. The resulting model is soluble and there exist analytic pricing and hedging formulae for various options. Application The trinomial model is considered to produce more accurate results than the binomial model when fewer time steps are modelled, and is therefore used when computational speed or resources may be an issue. For vanilla options, as the number of steps increases, the results rapidly converge, and the binomial model is then preferred due to its simpler implementation. For exotic options the trinomial model (or adaptations) is sometimes more stable and accurate, regardless of step-size.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free%20convolution
Free convolution is the free probability analog of the classical notion of convolution of probability measures. Due to the non-commutative nature of free probability theory, one has to talk separately about additive and multiplicative free convolution, which arise from addition and multiplication of free random variables (see below; in the classical case, what would be the analog of free multiplicative convolution can be reduced to additive convolution by passing to logarithms of random variables). These operations have some interpretations in terms of empirical spectral measures of random matrices. The notion of free convolution was introduced by Dan-Virgil Voiculescu. Free additive convolution Let and be two probability measures on the real line, and assume that is a random variable in a non commutative probability space with law and is a random variable in the same non commutative probability space with law . Assume finally that and are freely independent. Then the free additive convolution is the law of . Random matrices interpretation: if and are some independent by Hermitian (resp. real symmetric) random matrices such that at least one of them is invariant, in law, under conjugation by any unitary (resp. orthogonal) matrix and such that the empirical spectral measures of and tend respectively to and as tends to infinity, then the empirical spectral measure of tends to . In many cases, it is possible to compute the probability measure explicitly by using complex-analytic techniques and the R-transform of the measures and . Rectangular free additive convolution The rectangular free additive convolution (with ratio ) has also been defined in the non commutative probability framework by Benaych-Georges and admits the following random matrices interpretation. For , for and are some independent by complex (resp. real) random matrices such that at least one of them is invariant, in law, under multiplication on the left and on the right by any unitary (resp. orthogonal) matrix and such that the empirical singular values distribution of and tend respectively to and as and tend to infinity in such a way that tends to , then the empirical singular values distribution of tends to . In many cases, it is possible to compute the probability measure explicitly by using complex-analytic techniques and the rectangular R-transform with ratio of the measures and . Free multiplicative convolution Let and be two probability measures on the interval , and assume that is a random variable in a non commutative probability space with law and is a random variable in the same non commutative probability space with law . Assume finally that and are freely independent. Then the free multiplicative convolution is the law of (or, equivalently, the law of .
