The diagonal Ramsey number is the least such that every red-blue edge-colouring of contains a monochromatic .
Fix positive integers with . There is an integer , depending only on , such that every finite coloringhas a subset of size for which the restriction of a function to is a constant function. Here , and denotes the collection of all -element subsets of , rather than its binomial coefficient cardinality. The notation abbreviates this property. Thus is a homogeneous set for a colouring; when , the monochromatic set consists of its -element subsets, not its individual elements. This is the finite assertion in Ramsey's original Theorem B, p. 267.
For , this is the pigeonhole principle, with sharp threshold . For instance, every red-blue coloring of five objects has three of one color; four objects can split two and two. For , and , the sharp threshold is six, as shown by the Ramsey number for triangles. Coloring pairs makes this a problem about edges of a complete graph. For larger , the analogous viewpoint uses a hypergraph.
The finite Ramsey theorem lets an existence argument discard most of a large finite set while retaining a prescribed amount of uniform structure. Its threshold applies to every coloring; one does not need an assumption that colors were assigned randomly. A diagonal compactness argument deduces finite existence from Ramsey's theorem, but does not by itself identify the smallest threshold. For pairs, a Ramsey number makes that optimization explicit.

In local thermodynamic equilibrium, matter populations are thermal at the local temperature and the source function is the Planck function, .
This is the magnetic-dipole term of the multipole radiation expansion.
For a localized source whose size is small compared with its radiation wavelength, the radiation fields of its electric dipole moment areTheir total instantaneous power is

Weyl curvature produces relative acceleration between neighbouring freely falling trajectories and therefore tidal deformation. A freely falling frame removes gravity at one event, as required by the equivalence principle, but cannot remove curvature over an extended region.

With the Rademacher convention, an empirical risk minimizer has expected excess risk at most twice the Rademacher complexity of its loss class.
Composition with an -Lipschitz scalar map increases Rademacher complexity by at most the factor after centering at zero.
A linear functional has the same supremum over a class and its convex hull. Thus taking convex combinations does not increase empirical Rademacher complexity.
For and a binary class of VC dimension at most , the vectors have norm at most and at most distinct values. The Massart finite-class lemma gives

Identify when . Every nonempty saturated open subset of meets every other one because rational translates of any open interval meet any prescribed nonempty open interval. The quotient has multiple points but no two nonempty disjoint open subsets, so it is not Hausdorff.
If is the quotient map and a continuous map is constant on each equivalence class, there is a unique continuous map satisfying . It is given by ; continuity follows becausefor every open .
