  2. Relation (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    A relation is asymmetric if and only if it is both antisymmetric and irreflexive. [12] For example, > is an asymmetric relation, but ≥ is not. Again, the previous 3 alternatives are far from being exhaustive; as an example over the natural numbers, the relation xRy defined by x > 2 is neither symmetric (e.g. 5 R 1 , but not 1 R 5 ) nor ...

  3. Method of undetermined coefficients - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_undetermined...

    g(x) is a constant, a polynomial function, exponential function , sine or cosine functions ⁡ or ⁡, or finite sums and products of these functions (, constants). The method consists of finding the general homogeneous solution y c {\displaystyle y_{c}} for the complementary linear homogeneous differential equation

  4. Hilbert's twelfth problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_twelfth_problem

    Hilbert's twelfth problem is the extension of the Kronecker–Weber theorem on abelian extensions of the rational numbers, to any base number field.It is one of the 23 mathematical Hilbert problems and asks for analogues of the roots of unity that generate a whole family of further number fields, analogously to the cyclotomic fields and their subfields.

  5. Congruence relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congruence_relation

    The function that maps every element of A to its equivalence class is a homomorphism, and the kernel of this homomorphism is ~. The lattice Con(A) of all congruence relations on an algebra A is algebraic. John M. Howie described how semigroup theory illustrates congruence relations in universal algebra:

  6. List of set identities and relations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_set_identities_and...

    This article lists mathematical properties and laws of sets, involving the set-theoretic operations of union, intersection, and complementation and the relations of set equality and set inclusion. It also provides systematic procedures for evaluating expressions, and performing calculations, involving these operations and relations.

  7. Relation algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relation_algebra

    A relation algebra (L, ∧, ∨, −, 0, 1, •, I, ˘) is an algebraic structure equipped with the Boolean operations of conjunction x∧y, disjunction x∨y, and negation x −, the Boolean constants 0 and 1, the relational operations of composition x•y and converse x˘, and the relational constant I, such that these operations and constants satisfy certain equations constituting an ...

  8. Implicit function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_function

    An implicit function is a function that is defined by an implicit equation, that relates one of the variables, considered as the value of the function, with the others considered as the arguments. [ 1 ] : 204–206 For example, the equation x 2 + y 2 − 1 = 0 {\displaystyle x^{2}+y^{2}-1=0} of the unit circle defines y as an implicit function ...

  9. Equivalence relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_relation

    The equivalence relations on any set X, when ordered by set inclusion, form a complete lattice, called Con X by convention. The canonical map ker : X^X → Con X, relates the monoid X^X of all functions on X and Con X. ker is surjective but not injective. Less formally, the equivalence relation ker on X, takes each function f : X → X to its ...
