Wikipedia:Packing dimension#0 | In mathematics, the packing dimension is one of a number of concepts that can be used to define the dimension of a subset of a metric space. Packing dimension is in some sense dual to Hausdorff dimension, since packing dimension is constructed by "packing" small open balls inside the given subset, whereas Hausdorff dim... |
Wikipedia:Pairing#0 | In mathematics, a pairing is an R-bilinear map from the Cartesian product of two R-modules, where the underlying ring R is commutative. == Definition == Let R be a commutative ring with unit, and let M, N and L be R-modules. A pairing is any R-bilinear map e : M × N → L {\displaystyle e:M\times N\to L} . That is, it sa... |
Wikipedia:Pairing function#0 | In mathematics, a pairing function is a process to uniquely encode two natural numbers into a single natural number. Any pairing function can be used in set theory to prove that integers and rational numbers have the same cardinality as natural numbers. == Definition == A pairing function is a bijection π : N × N → N .... |
