In discrete mathematics, particularly in graph theory, a graph is a structure consisting of a set of objects where some pairs of the objects are in some sense "related". The objects are represented by abstractions called vertices (also called nodes or points) and each of the related pairs of vertices is called an edge ... |
vertex set V is taken to be finite (which implies that the edge set E is also finite). Sometimes infinite graphs are considered, but they are usually viewed as a special kind of binary relation, because most results on finite graphs either do not extend to the infinite case or need a rather different proof. An empty gr... |
this type of object may be called precisely a directed simple graph. In the edge (x, y) directed from x to y, the vertices x and y are called the endpoints of the edge, x the tail of the edge and y the head of the edge. The edge is said to join x and y and to be incident on x and on y. A vertex may exist in a graph and... |
Mixed graph === A mixed graph is a graph in which some edges may be directed and some may be undirected. It is an ordered triple G = (V, E, A) for a mixed simple graph and G = (V, E, A, ϕE, ϕA) for a mixed multigraph with V, E (the undirected edges), A (the directed edges), ϕE and ϕA defined as above. Directed and undi... |
connected graph is a directed graph in which every ordered pair of vertices in the graph is strongly connected. Otherwise, it is called a weakly connected graph if every ordered pair of vertices in the graph is weakly connected. Otherwise it is called a disconnected graph.

In mathematics and computer science, Horner's method (or Horner's scheme) is an algorithm for polynomial evaluation.

In mathematics, and more specifically in ring theory, an ideal of a ring is a special subset of its elements.

In linear algebra, the rank of a matrix A is the dimension of the vector space generated (or spanned) by its columns. This corresponds to the maximal number of linearly independent columns of A.

Proofs that column rank = row rank == === Proof using row reduction === The fact that the column and row ranks of any matrix are equal forms is fundamental in linear algebra.

constant function between topological spaces is continuous. A constant function factors through the one-point set, the terminal object in the category of sets. This observation is instrumental for F. William Lawvere's axiomatization of set theory, the Elementary Theory of the Category of Sets (ETCS). For any non-empty ... |
In mathematics, an algebraic structure or algebraic system consists of a nonempty set A (called the underlying set, carrier set or domain), a collection of operations on A (typically binary operations such as addition and multiplication), and a finite set of identities (known as axioms) that these operations must satis... |
argument (unary operations) or even zero arguments (nullary operations). The examples listed below are by no means a complete list, but include the most common structures taught in undergraduate courses. == Common axioms == === Equational axioms === An axiom of an algebraic structure often has the form of an identity, ... |
(X)).} The introduction of such auxiliary operation complicates slightly the statement of an axiom, but has some advantages. Given a specific algebraic structure, the proof that an existential axiom is satisfied consists generally of the definition of the auxiliary function, completed with straightforward verifications... |
Common algebraic structures == === One set with operations === Simple structures: no binary operation: Set: a degenerate algebraic structure S having no operations. Group-like structures: one binary operation. The binary operation can be indicated by any symbol, or with no symbol (juxtaposition) as is done for ordinary... |
vector space with a compatible norm. If such a space is complete (as a metric space) then it is called a Banach space. Hilbert space: an inner product space over the real or complex numbers whose inner product gives rise to a Banach space structure.

the most important ones in mathematics, e.g., fields and division rings. Structures with nonidentities present challenges varieties do not. For example, the direct product of two fields is not a field, because ( 1 , 0 ) ⋅ ( 0 , 1 ) = ( 0 , 0 ) {\displaystyle (1,0)\cdot (0,1)=(0,0)} , but fields do not have zero divisor... |
A non-associative algebra (or distributive algebra) is an algebra over a field where the binary multiplication operation is not assumed to be associative. That is, an algebraic structure A is a non-associative algebra over a field K if it is a vector space over K and is equipped with a K-bilinear binary multiplication ... |
authors. Jordan identity: (x2y)x = x2(yx) or (xy)x2 = x(yx2) depending on authors. Alternative: (xx)y = x(xy) (left alternative) and (yx)x = y(xx) (right alternative). Flexible: (xy)x = x(yx). nth power associative with n ≥ 2: xn−kxk = xn for all integers k so that 0 < k < n. Third power associative: x2x = xx2. Fourth ... |
equivalent. === Associator === The associator on A is the K-multilinear map [ ⋅ , ⋅ , ⋅ ] : A × A × A → A {\displaystyle [\cdot ,\cdot ,\cdot ]:A\times A\times A\to A} given by [x,y,z] = (xy)z − x(yz). It measures the degree of nonassociativity of A {\displaystyle A} , and can be used to conveniently express some possi... |
