  2. Genus (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genus_(mathematics)

    In layman's terms, the genus is the number of "holes" an object has ("holes" interpreted in the sense of doughnut holes; a hollow sphere would be considered as having zero holes in this sense). [3] A torus has 1 such hole, while a sphere has 0. The green surface pictured above has 2 holes of the relevant sort. For instance:

  3. Word equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_equation

    A word equation is a formal equality:= = between a pair of words and , each over an alphabet comprising both constants (c.f. ) and unknowns (c.f. ). [1] An assignment of constant words to the unknowns of is said to solve if it maps both sides of to identical words.

  4. Word-representable graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word-representable_graph

    Wheel graphs W 2n+1, for n ≥ 2, are not word-representable and W 5 is the minimum (by the number of vertices) non-word-representable graph. Taking any non-comparability graph and adding an apex (a vertex connected to any other vertex), we obtain a non-word-representable graph, which then can produce infinitely many non-word-representable ...

  5. Betti number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betti_number

    For a torus, the first Betti number is b 1 = 2 , which can be intuitively thought of as the number of circular "holes" Informally, the kth Betti number refers to the number of k-dimensional holes on a topological surface. A "k-dimensional hole" is a k-dimensional cycle that is not a boundary of a (k+1)-dimensional object.

  6. Combinatorics on words - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinatorics_on_words

    With finite automata, the edges are labeled with a letter in an alphabet. To use the graph, one starts at a node and travels along the edges to reach a final node. The path taken along the graph forms the word. It is a finite graph because there are a countable number of nodes and edges, and only one path connects two distinct nodes. [1]

  7. List of unsolved problems in mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems...

    Many mathematical problems have been stated but not yet solved. These problems come from many areas of mathematics, such as theoretical physics, computer science, algebra, analysis, combinatorics, algebraic, differential, discrete and Euclidean geometries, graph theory, group theory, model theory, number theory, set theory, Ramsey theory, dynamical systems, and partial differential equations.

  8. Glossary of graph theory - Wikipedia

    A trivial graph is a graph with 0 or 1 vertices. [16] A graph with 0 vertices is also called null graph. Turán 1. Pál Turán 2. A Turán graph is a balanced complete multipartite graph. 3. Turán's theorem states that Turán graphs have the maximum number of edges among all clique-free graphs of a given order. 4.

  9. Klein bottle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klein_bottle

    The boundary homomorphism is given by ∂D = 2C 1 and ∂C 1 = ∂C 2 = 0, yielding the homology groups of the Klein bottle K to be H 0 (K, Z) = Z, H 1 (K, Z) = Z×(Z/2Z) and H n (K, Z) = 0 for n > 1. There is a 2-1 covering map from the torus to the Klein bottle, because two copies of the fundamental region of the Klein bottle, one being ...
