Abel–Goncharov interpolation
Abel–Goncharov interpolation is a mathematical technique that combines concepts from various fields, including complex analysis, function theory, and interpolation theory. The technique is named after mathematicians Niels Henrik Abel and A. A. Goncharov and extends the basic idea of interpolation to handle problems where traditional polynomial interpolation may not be effective or applicable. ### Key Concepts: 1. **Abel's Theorem**: Abel's theorem is a fundamental result in the theory of series and functions.
Agmon's inequality
Agmon's inequality is a result in the field of mathematical analysis and partial differential equations, particularly in the study of elliptic operators and solutions to certain types of differential equations. It provides a bound on the decay of solutions to elliptic equations, showing how solutions that are non-negative can decay at infinity.
Agranovich–Dynin formula
The Agranovich–Dynin formula is a mathematical result in the field of partial differential equations, particularly in the study of the spectral properties of self-adjoint operators. It provides a way to relate the spectral analysis of certain operators to the behavior of solutions of the differential equations associated with those operators. The formula is particularly relevant in the context of boundary value problems, where it can be used to analyze the distribution of eigenvalues and the properties of the eigenfunctions of the associated differential operators.
Amenable Banach algebra
An amenable Banach algebra is a specific type of Banach algebra that possesses a certain property related to its representations and, intuitively speaking, its "size" or "complexity." The concept of amenability can be traced back to the theory of groups, but it has been extended to abstract algebraic structures such as Banach algebras.
Analysis of partial differential equations (PDEs) is a branch of mathematics that focuses on the study and solutions of equations involving unknown functions of several variables and their partial derivatives. PDEs are fundamental in describing various physical phenomena such as heat conduction, fluid dynamics, electromagnetic fields, and wave propagation.
Analytic polyhedron
An analytic polyhedron is a geometric object in mathematics that combines the concepts of polyhedra with analytic properties. Specifically, an analytic polyhedron is defined in the context of real or complex spaces and is typically described using analytic functions. 1. **Polyhedron Definition**: A polyhedron is a three-dimensional geometric figure with flat polygonal faces, straight edges, and vertices. Each face of a polyhedron is a polygon, and the overall shape can be described using vertices and edges.
Banach function algebra
A Banach function algebra is a type of mathematical structure that combines the properties of a Banach space and a function algebra. To understand what this entails, we need to break down two key components: Banach spaces and function algebras. 1. **Banach Space**: A Banach space is a complete normed vector space.
Baskakov operator
The Baskakov operator is a type of linear positive operator associated with the approximation of functions. It is named after the mathematician O. M. Baskakov, who introduced it as a means of approximating continuous functions on the interval \([0, 1]\). The Baskakov operator can be defined for a function \( f \) that is defined on the interval \([0, 1]\).
Bauer maximum principle
The Bauer Maximum Principle is a concept in the field of functional analysis, particularly in the study of operators and matrices in Hilbert spaces. The principle is named after the mathematician Fritz Bauer. In essence, the Bauer Maximum Principle pertains to the spectral properties of bounded linear operators.
Beraha constants
The Beraha constants are a sequence of numbers associated with the study of polynomials and their roots, particularly in relation to the stability of certain dynamical systems. They arise in the context of complex dynamics, particularly within the study of iterative maps and the behavior of polynomials under iteration. The \( n \)-th Beraha constant, usually denoted as \( B_n \), can be defined in terms of the roots of unity and is related to the critical points of polynomials.
Michael Faraday
Michael Faraday (1791–1867) was an English scientist renowned for his contributions to the fields of electromagnetism and electrochemistry. He is best known for his discovery of electromagnetic induction, which is the principle behind electric generators and transformers. Faraday's experiments led to the formulation of Faraday's laws of electrolysis and the concept of the electric field.
The Cohen–Hewitt factorization theorem is an important result in the field of functional analysis, particularly in the study of commutative Banach algebras and holomorphic functions. The theorem essentially deals with the factorization of elements in certain algebras, specifically those elements that have a suitable structure, such as being the spectrum of a compact space.
The Fifth-order Korteweg–De Vries (KdV) equation is a mathematical model that extends the classical KdV equation, which is used to describe shallow water waves and other dispersive wave phenomena.
Fixed-point space
A **fixed-point space** is a concept commonly used in mathematics, particularly in topology and analysis. It generally refers to a setting in which a function has points that remain unchanged when that function is applied. More formally, if \( f: X \to X \) is a function from a space \( X \), then a point \( x \in X \) is said to be a **fixed point** of \( f \) if \( f(x) = x \).
Force chain
A **force chain** is a concept primarily used in the fields of materials science, physics, and engineering to describe the way forces are transmitted through a granular material or a system of interconnected particles. In a force chain, the particles or grains that come into contact with each other transmit force from one to another, creating a network or "chain" of forces throughout the material. This concept is particularly relevant in the study of granular materials like sand, gravel, and other particulate substances.
Fractal canopy
The term "fractal canopy" can refer to different concepts depending on the context, but it is commonly associated with the study of tree canopies in ecology and environmental science, as well as in art and design. Here are two primary contexts in which "fractal canopy" may be relevant: 1. **Ecological Context**: In ecology, the term can be used to describe the structural complexity and organization of tree canopies in forests, which often exhibit fractal-like patterns.
The Measurable Riemann Mapping Theorem is a result in complex analysis that deals with the existence of a conformal (angle-preserving) mapping from a domain in the complex plane onto another domain.
Monge equation
The Monge equation, often referred to in the context of optimal transport theory and differential geometry, describes the relationship between a function and its gradient in terms of a specific type of geometric problem. Specifically, in the context of optimal transport, the Monge-Ampère equation is one of the key equations studied.
Poincaré–Lelong equation
The Poincaré–Lelong equation is an important concept in complex analysis and complex geometry, particularly in the context of pluripotential theory. It relates the behavior of a plurisubharmonic (psh) function to the associated currents and their manifestations in complex manifolds or spaces.
Quadratic quadrilateral element
A **quadratic quadrilateral element** is a type of finite element used in numerical methods, especially in finite element analysis (FEA) for solving partial differential equations. Quadrilateral elements are two-dimensional elements defined by four vertices, while "quadratic" indicates that the shape functions used to represent the geometry and solution within the element are quadratic functions, as opposed to linear functions used in linear elements.
