In combinatorial mathematics, the Lobb number L m,n counts the ways that n + m open parentheses and n − m close parentheses can be arranged to form the start of a valid sequence of balanced parentheses. [1] Lobb numbers form a natural generalization of the Catalan numbers, which count the complete strings of balanced parentheses of a given ...
For example, [0,5] represents the set of real numbers from 0 to 5 inclusive. Both parentheses and brackets are used to denote a half-open interval; [5, 12) would be the set of all real numbers between 5 and 12, including 5 but not 12. The numbers may come as close as they like to 12, including 11.999 and so forth, but 12.0 is not included.
For example, in the expression 3(x+y) the parentheses are symbols of grouping, but in the expression (3, 5) the parentheses may indicate an open interval. The most common symbols of grouping are the parentheses and the square brackets, and the latter are usually used to avoid too many repeated parentheses.
Dr. Thomas O’Brien and his wife Ruth Reardon O’Brien, the parents of late night comedian Conan O’Brien, have died three days apart. Thomas was 95 and Ruth was 92. Thomas died on Monday, Dec ...
In elementary algebra, parentheses ( ) are used to specify the order of operations. [1] Terms inside the bracket are evaluated first; hence 2×(3 + 4) is 14, 20 ÷ (5(1 + 1)) is 2 and (2×3) + 4 is 10. This notation is extended to cover more general algebra involving variables: for example (x + y) × (x − y). Square brackets are also often ...
The policymakers now expect overall inflation, as measured by their preferred gauge, to rise slightly from 2.3% now to 2.5% by the end of 2025. That is far below its peak of 7.2% in June 2022.

The number of distinct Dyck words with exactly n pairs of parentheses is the n-th Catalan number. Notice that the Dyck language of words with n parentheses pairs is equal to the union, over all possible k, of the Dyck languages of words of n parentheses pairs with k innermost pairs, as defined in
