Harmonic polynomial 1970-01-01
A harmonic polynomial is a specific type of polynomial that satisfies Laplace's equation, which is a second-order partial differential equation.
Hasse–Schmidt derivation 1970-01-01
The Hasse–Schmidt derivation is a concept in the field of algebra, specifically within the context of algebraic geometry and commutative algebra. This derivation is a type of differential operator that is used to define a structure on a ring, typically a local ring (often of functions), that allows for the notion of derivation (i.e., differentiation) in a way that is compatible with the algebraic structure of the ring.
Hidden algebra 1970-01-01
Higher-order operad 1970-01-01
Higher-order operads are a generalization of operads that extend the concept to incorporate operations that can take other operations as inputs. Traditionally, an operad consists of a collection of operations that can be composed in a structured way, and they have a certain type of associative nature with respect to these operations.
Homomorphic secret sharing 1970-01-01
Homomorphic secret sharing (HSS) is a cryptographic technique that enables secure computation on shared secret data. It combines aspects of secret sharing and homomorphic encryption, allowing computations to be performed on the shared data without revealing the underlying secrets.
Hyperstructure 1970-01-01
"Hyperstructure" is a relatively new concept that is often associated with decentralized systems, particularly in the context of web3, blockchain technology, and digital ecosystems. While the term doesn't have a universally agreed-upon definition, it generally refers to a type of system or network that encompasses various components and layers, allowing for enhanced functionality, interoperability, and resilience.
Icosian calculus 1970-01-01
Icosian calculus is a mathematical concept related to the study of graphs and polyhedra, particularly focusing on the geometric properties and relationships of the icosahedron. It is often associated with the work of mathematicians like William Rowan Hamilton, who developed the Hamiltonian path and cycle concepts, utilizing the structure of polyhedra for mathematical modeling.
Idealizer 1970-01-01
"Idealizer" may refer to a few different concepts depending on the context, as it is not a universally recognized term. Here are a few possibilities: 1. **Software or Application**: Idealizer could refer to a specific software or application designed for a particular purpose, such as enhancing images, optimizing design processes, or managing projects. Without more specific context, it is challenging to pinpoint a particular software.
Indeterminate (variable) 1970-01-01
In mathematics, the term "indeterminate" refers to certain expressions or forms that do not have a well-defined or unique value. This can occur in different contexts, particularly in calculus, algebra, and limits. One common example of an indeterminate form occurs in calculus when evaluating limits. The most frequently encountered indeterminate forms are: 1. \( 0/0 \) 2. \( \infty/\infty \) 3.
Infinite expression 1970-01-01
An "infinite expression" can refer to various concepts depending on the context in which it's used. Here are a few interpretations: 1. **Mathematics**: In calculus and analysis, it might refer to expressions that represent infinite limits, such as limits that approach infinity or series that diverge to infinity. For example, the expression \( \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n} \) represents the harmonic series, which diverges.
Information algebra 1970-01-01
Information algebra is a mathematical framework that deals with the representation, manipulation, and processing of information. It often combines elements from algebra, information theory, and computer science to create tools for modeling and analyzing data in a structured manner. One of the key aspects of information algebra is the use of algebraic structures, such as sets, relations, and operations, to abstractly represent and manipulate information.
Inverse limit 1970-01-01
The inverse limit (or projective limit) is a concept in topology and abstract algebra that generalizes the notion of taking a limit of sequences or families of objects. It is particularly useful in the study of topological spaces, algebraic structures, and their relationships.
Isomorphism class 1970-01-01
In mathematics, an **isomorphism class** generally refers to a grouping of objects that are considered equivalent under a certain type of structure-preserving map known as an isomorphism. Isomorphisms indicate a deep similarity between the structures of objects, even if these objects may appear different.
Kernel (set theory) 1970-01-01
In set theory, the term "kernel" can refer to different concepts depending on the context, particularly in relation to functions, homomorphisms, or algebraic structures. Most commonly, it refers to the kernel of a function, especially in the fields of abstract algebra and topology.
Left and right (algebra) 1970-01-01
In algebra and mathematics more broadly, the terms "left" and "right" can refer to various operations, properties, or specific contexts depending on the area of study.
Light's associativity test 1970-01-01
Light's associativity test is a method used to determine whether a binary operation (such as addition or multiplication) is associative. An operation is considered associative if changing the grouping of operands does not change the result.
Linear independence 1970-01-01
Linear independence is a concept in linear algebra that pertains to a set of vectors. A set of vectors is said to be linearly independent if no vector in the set can be expressed as a linear combination of the others. This means that there are no scalars (coefficients) such that a linear combination of the vectors results in the zero vector, unless all the coefficients are zero.
Linear map 1970-01-01
A linear map, also known as a linear transformation, is a function between two vector spaces that preserves the operations of vector addition and scalar multiplication.
Linear span 1970-01-01
List of abstract algebra topics 1970-01-01
Abstract algebra is a branch of mathematics that deals with algebraic structures such as groups, rings, fields, and modules.
