  2. Converse (logic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Converse_(logic)

    In mathematics, the converse of a theorem of the form P → Q will be Q → P. The converse may or may not be true, and even if true, the proof may be difficult. For example, the four-vertex theorem was proved in 1912, but its converse was proved only in 1997. [3]

  3. Converse theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Converse_theorem

    In the mathematical theory of automorphic forms, a converse theorem gives sufficient conditions for a Dirichlet series to be the Mellin transform of a modular form. More generally a converse theorem states that a representation of an algebraic group over the adeles is automorphic whenever the L-functions of various twists of it are well-behaved.

  4. Contraposition - Wikipedia

    The converse is "If a polygon has four sides, then it is a quadrilateral. " Again, in this case, unlike the last example, the converse of the statement is true. The negation is " There is at least one quadrilateral that does not have four sides.

  5. Converse relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Converse_relation

    The converse relation does satisfy the (weaker) axioms of a semigroup with involution: () = and () =. [12] Since one may generally consider relations between different sets (which form a category rather than a monoid, namely the category of relations Rel ), in this context the converse relation conforms to the axioms of a dagger category (aka ...

  6. Theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theorem

    The Pythagorean theorem has at least 370 known proofs. [1]In mathematics and formal logic, a theorem is a statement that has been proven, or can be proven. [a] [2] [3] The proof of a theorem is a logical argument that uses the inference rules of a deductive system to establish that the theorem is a logical consequence of the axioms and previously proved theorems.

  7. Menelaus's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menelaus's_theorem

    Menelaus's theorem, case 1: line DEF passes inside triangle ABC. In Euclidean geometry, Menelaus's theorem, named for Menelaus of Alexandria, is a proposition about triangles in plane geometry. Suppose we have a triangle ABC, and a transversal line that crosses BC, AC, AB at points D, E, F respectively, with D, E, F distinct from A, B, C. A ...

  8. Conway base 13 function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway_base_13_function

    The Conway base 13 function is a function created by British mathematician John H. Conway as a counterexample to the converse of the intermediate value theorem.In other words, it is a function that satisfies a particular intermediate-value property — on any interval (,), the function takes every value between () and () — but is not continuous.

  9. Inverse function theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_function_theorem

    For functions of a single variable, the theorem states that if is a continuously differentiable function with nonzero derivative at the point ; then is injective (or bijective onto the image) in a neighborhood of , the inverse is continuously differentiable near = (), and the derivative of the inverse function at is the reciprocal of the derivative of at : ′ = ′ = ′ (()).
