For the four routes consisting of adjacent pairs of a unit-capacity four-cycle, put $P=n_1+n_3$, $Q=n_2+n_4$, and $N=P+Q$. Every active route in the first group has total service $P/N$, and every active route in the second has total service $Q/N$. Its per-flow rate is this total divided by its active flow count.

The effective domain of an extended-real function is $\mathrm{dom}E=\{u:E(u)<+\infty \}$. An infinite value can impose a hard constraint through an indicator functional of a constraint set.

For a regular sequence $f_1,\dots ,f_r$ in a commutative ring $R$, its Koszul complex is the finite free projective resolution of $R/(f_1,\dots ,f_r)$ with terms ${\bigwedge }^j{R}^r$ and boundary map contracting by $(f_1,\dots ,f_r)$. Exactness follows by induction: append $f_r$ using the mapping cone for multiplication by $f_r$, which is injective on the preceding quotient. For a polynomial ring viewed as a bimodule, use the regular sequence $X_{i,\ell }-X_{i,r}$ in the enveloping algebra.

For a reduced projective hypersurface $X=V(f)$ over an algebraically closed field,The Euler homogeneous function theorem makes the intersection redundant only when the characteristic does not divide the degree. In characteristic $p$, the irreducible polynomial $x_0^p+x_1^{p-1}{x}_2$ has zero gradient at $[1:0:0]$, which is not on $X$.

The right endpoint of a distribution with distribution function $F$ is $x_F=\sup \{x:F(x)<1\}$, possibly infinite. The survival function is positive below $x_F$.

A Bayesian network consists of a Directed acyclic graph $G$ whose nodes are random variables, together with conditional distributions satisfying $p(x)={\prod }_{j}p(x_j\mid x_{{\mathrm{pa}}_G(j)})$. Its Directed acyclic graph encodes conditional independence constraints. For unrestricted binary variables it has ${\sum }_j{2}^{|{\mathrm{pa}}_G(j)|}$ free conditional probabilities. A Directed acyclic graph used this way need not have a causal interpretation.

For a homogeneous optical prism in air, with apex angle $\varphi$ and refractive index $n>1$, minimum deviation occurs at the symmetric ray path. Then both internal angles are $\varphi /2$ and both external angles are $({\gamma }_{\min }+\varphi )/2$, so Snell's law givesMeasuring the deviation therefore determines the refractive index at the chosen wavelength.

A local quadratic departure from a Gaussian random field isThe subtraction removes the homogeneous mean. At leading order, Wick theorem gives the primordial bispectrum $B_{\phi }=2f_{\mathrm{NL}}[P_{\phi }(k_1)P_{\phi }(k_2)+\text{cyclic terms}]$. The numerical convention depends on which potential or comoving curvature perturbation is used.

Let $K={\mathbb{F}}_p(s,t)$ and $L=K(s^{1/p},t^{1/p})$ for algebraically independent $s,t$. The $p^2$ monomials $s^{i/p}{t}^{j/p}$ with $0\le i,j<p$ form a basis, whereas every $\alpha \in L$ satisfies ${\alpha }^p\in K$. Thus $[L:K]=p^2$ but $[K(\alpha ):K]\le p$, so no primitive element of a field extension exists.

The prime radical is the intersection of all prime ideals of a noncommutative ring. For a nonzero ring satisfying the ascending chain condition on two-sided ideals, there exist prime ideals of a noncommutative ring $P_1,\dots ,P_r$ with $P_1\cdots P_r=0$. Indeed, a maximal counterexample among two-sided ideals could not itself be a prime ideal of a noncommutative ring, and two larger witness ideals would contradict its maximality. Every prime ideal of a noncommutative ring contains one $P_i$, so the intersection equals ${\bigcap }_i{P}_i$, and its $r$th power is zero. This nilpotence assertion fails without a chain condition.

The $n$th symbolic power of a prime ideal $P\subset R$ iswhere the intersection denotes contraction of an ideal. It is always a $P$-primary ideal. The ordinary power $P^n$ equals $P^{(n)}$ precisely when $P^n$ is $P$-primary; this assertion does not require $R$ to be Noetherian.

In a Noetherian ring, an ideal $I$ disjoint from a nonempty multiplicative subset $S$ extends to an ideal $P$ maximal among those disjoint from $S$, by the ascending chain condition. It is proper. If $ab\in P$ but neither factor belongs to $P$, both $P+(a)$ and $P+(b)$ meet $S$. Multiplying such representatives puts an element of $S$ in $P$, a contradiction. Thus $P$ is a prime ideal. For a general commutative ring the same argument follows after applying the Zorn lemma to disjoint ideals; the union of a chain is disjoint from $S$.

A minimal prime ideal is a prime ideal containing no strictly smaller prime ideal. If $A$ is a reduced ring and $\mathfrak{p}$ is minimal, the localization at a prime ideal $A_{\mathfrak{p}}$ is a field: its only prime is its maximal ideal, and reducedness makes that ideal its zero nilradical. Every nonzero commutative ring has a minimal prime.

A decomposable positive map between complex matrix algebras has the form $\Phi ={\Phi }_1+{\Phi }_2\circ T$, where ${\Phi }_1,{\Phi }_2$ are completely positive maps and $T$ is the matrix transpose. Such a map cannot detect a positive partial transpose entangled state: applying it to one subsystem gives a sum of two positive operators.

For $p^0=\sqrt{{\mathbf{p}}^2+m^2}>0$ in Minkowski spacetime, these modes obey $i{\partial }_t{\psi }_{\mathbf{p}}=p^0{\psi }_{\mathbf{p}}$ and have Klein-Gordon inner product $({\psi }_{\mathbf{p}},{\psi }_{\mathbf{q}})={\delta }^3(\mathbf{p}-\mathbf{q})$. Their conjugates have the opposite norm and are orthogonal to the positive-frequency modes. Plane waves are a generalized, delta-normalized basis; normalizable wave packets have positive norm $\int |a(\mathbf{p}){|}^2{d}^{3}p$. Completeness follows by applying the spatial Fourier transform to the Klein-Gordon equation, which gives the two branches $e^{\mp i{p}^{0}t}$ for each momentum.

For a smooth normal optimal control problem with freely variable terminal time, fixed terminal state independent of that time and terminal cost $\Phi$, the optimized Hamiltonian of an optimal-control problem at completion satisfies $H(T)+{\Phi }_T=0$. It follows by varying the terminal time in the augmented objective; restrictions on terminal time or a moving endpoint introduce additional terms or inequalities.

For an integral domain $R$, an integer-valued polynomial is a polynomial over its fraction field that maps $R$ into itself. Its coefficients need not lie in $R$: $X(X-1)/2$ maps $\mathbb{Z}$ into $\mathbb{Z}$. These polynomials form a ring containing $R[X]$.

A piecewise polynomial function agrees with a polynomial on each member of a partition. Approximation claims usually require finitely many pieces with controlled interfaces. In one dimension, finitely many partition points and localized wavelets with more vanishing moments than the polynomial degree leave only a bounded number of nonzero coefficients per scale, yielding exponential squared best N-term approximation error.

A cubic equation is a polynomial equation of degree of a polynomial three, $a{x}^3+b{x}^2+cx+d=0$, with $a\ne 0$. Its three complex roots of a polynomial, counted with multiplicity of a root, need not all have physical significance in an application; a model often selects a branch by continuity from a known limit.

A timelike basis polarization in covariant photon quantization has positive Minkowski metric squared length, conventionally ${ϵ}^{0\mu }=(1,0)$ with signature $(+,-,-,-)$. It is distinct from the spatial longitudinal polarization ${ϵ}^{3\mu }=(0,\hat{\mathbf{p}})$. The extra minus sign in the covariant oscillator commutator makes its one-photon state a negative-norm photon state. Neither this temporal polarization nor an isolated longitudinal photon survives the Gupta-Bleuler null-state quotient.
