  2. List of statements independent of ZFC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_statements...

    Charles Akemann and Nik Weaver showed in 2003 that the statement "there exists a counterexample to Naimark's problem which is generated by ℵ 1, elements" is independent of ZFC. Miroslav Bačák and Petr Hájek proved in 2008 that the statement "every Asplund space of density character ω 1 has a renorming with the Mazur intersection property ...

  3. Counterexample - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterexample

    In logic a counterexample disproves the generalization, and does so rigorously in the fields of mathematics and philosophy. [1] For example, the fact that "student John Smith is not lazy" is a counterexample to the generalization "students are lazy", and both a counterexample to, and disproof of, the universal quantification "all students are ...

    In many occasions, these can be and often are contradictory requirements, while in other occasions, the term is more deliberately used to refer to an object artificially constructed as a counterexample to these properties. A simple example is that from the definition of a triangle having angles which sum to π radians, a single straight line ...

    For example, a Fourier series of sine and cosine functions, all continuous, may converge pointwise to a discontinuous function such as a step function. Carmichael's totient function conjecture was stated as a theorem by Robert Daniel Carmichael in 1907, but in 1922 he pointed out that his proof was incomplete. As of 2016 the problem is still open.

  6. Petersen graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petersen_graph

    Petersen graph as Kneser graph ,. The Petersen graph is the complement of the line graph of .It is also the Kneser graph,; this means that it has one vertex for each 2-element subset of a 5-element set, and two vertices are connected by an edge if and only if the corresponding 2-element subsets are disjoint from each other.

  7. Mathematical proof - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_proof

    It is likely that the idea of demonstrating a conclusion first arose in connection with geometry, which originated in practical problems of land measurement. [8] The development of mathematical proof is primarily the product of ancient Greek mathematics, and one of its greatest achievements. [9]

  8. Jacobian conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobian_conjecture

    It was first conjectured in 1939 by Ott-Heinrich Keller, [1] and widely publicized by Shreeram Abhyankar, as an example of a difficult question in algebraic geometry that can be understood using little beyond a knowledge of calculus. The Jacobian conjecture is notorious for the large number of attempted proofs that turned out to contain subtle ...

  9. Constructible number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructible_number

    The square root of 2 is equal to the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of length 1 and is therefore a constructible number. In geometry and algebra, a real number is constructible if and only if, given a line segment of unit length, a line segment of length | | can be constructed with compass and straightedge in a finite number of steps.
