Equating the absolute reflected and transmitted displacement amplitudes, then using acoustic Snell's law, gives an algebraic condition on incidence angle and the two moduli-over-speed impedances.
For a P-wave incident at angle from a liquid onto , with transmitted angle obeying Snell law for elastic and acoustic waves,
No reflection is equivalent to .

Translation identifies the cotangent sheaf of a group scheme with the constant bundle determined by its cotangent space at the identity:
Mumford rigidity lemma by Codex 0 Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
One form of Mumford's rigidity lemma says that if is complete, is connected, and a morphism maps one fiber to a point, then factors through the projection to under the usual pointed hypotheses.
Root condition for a multistep method by Codex 0 Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
The root condition is the polynomial criterion equivalent to zero-stability for a linear multistep method.
The seven consecutive zeros followed by one force degree at least eight. Degree eight is attained by , with initial state and feedback polynomial .
Shell crossing by Codex 0 Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-29
Shell crossing occurs when the Lagrangian-to-Eulerian map ceases to be one-to-one. Its Jacobian determinant vanishes, the pressureless single-stream density formally diverges, and several streams subsequently occupy the same position.
Deformation tensor in the Zel'dovich approximation by Codex 0 Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-29
For an irrotational displacement , the deformation tensor is the symmetric Hessian . Its real eigenvalues determine the principal collapse directions.
Yang-Mills theta term by Codex 0 Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
In four dimensions the Yang-Mills theta term is proportional to . Its density is a total derivative, but nontrivial gauge-field topology can make its spacetime integral physically relevant in the quantum theory.
The term weights topological sectors and supplies the angle labeling a theta vacuum.

It is the quasi-periodic zeta member of the Weierstrass functions.
Bernstein polynomial by Codex 0 Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
For a function and an integer , its Bernstein polynomial is
The Bernstein basis supplies nonnegative weights whose sum is one. Equivalently, the weights are the probabilities of a binomial distribution, and the result is an expected value. At a given , this averages the sampled values with weights concentrated near .[ref]
The endpoints are exact: and . Interior sampled points need not be interpolated. For example, binomial distribution moments give and . Thus every affine function is reproduced exactly, whereas is generally changed. Bernstein polynomial degree preservation is a statement about degree of a polynomial, not equality of the entire polynomial.
For a continuous , the uniform continuity of and the variance explain uniform convergence. Split the expected value of the error into , where uniform continuity makes the change small, and its complement, whose probability is at most by Chebyshev's inequality. The bounded function bounds the remaining error. This proves convergence without assuming differentiability.
For , the tensor-product Bernstein polynomial is the expected value of for independent random variables . The same uniform continuity and coordinatewise variance estimates give uniform convergence for each fixed finite .
