  2. Tennis racket theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennis_racket_theorem

    The tennis racket theorem or intermediate axis theorem, is a kinetic phenomenon of classical mechanics which describes the movement of a rigid body with three distinct principal moments of inertia. It has also been dubbed the Dzhanibekov effect , after Soviet cosmonaut Vladimir Dzhanibekov , who noticed one of the theorem's logical consequences ...

    In 1985 he demonstrated stable and unstable rotation of a T-handle nut from the orbit, subsequently named the Dzhanibekov effect. The effect had been long known from the tennis racket theorem, which says that rotation about an object's intermediate principal axis is unstable while in free fall. In 1985 he was promoted to the rank of major ...

    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.

  6. Dirichlet's test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet's_test

    In mathematics, Dirichlet's test is a method of testing for the convergence of a series that is especially useful for proving conditional convergence. It is named after its author Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet , and was published posthumously in the Journal de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées in 1862.

  7. Dirichlet problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet_problem

    The solution of the Dirichlet problem using Sobolev spaces for planar domains can be used to prove the smooth version of the Riemann mapping theorem. Bell (1992) has outlined a different approach for establishing the smooth Riemann mapping theorem, based on the reproducing kernels of Szegő and Bergman, and in turn used it to solve the ...

  8. Hilbert's problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_problems

    The 6th problem concerns the axiomatization of physics, a goal that 20th-century developments seem to render both more remote and less important than in Hilbert's time. Also, the 4th problem concerns the foundations of geometry, in a manner that is now generally judged to be too vague to enable a definitive answer.

  9. Alternating series test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating_series_test

    The test was devised by Gottfried Leibniz and is sometimes known as Leibniz's test, Leibniz's rule, or the Leibniz criterion. The test is only sufficient, not necessary, so some convergent alternating series may fail the first part of the test. [1] [2] [3] For a generalization, see Dirichlet's test. [4] [5] [6]
