  2. Discrete mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_mathematics

    Discrete mathematics is the study of mathematical structures that can be considered "discrete" (in a way analogous to discrete variables, having a bijection with the set of natural numbers) rather than "continuous" (analogously to continuous functions).

  3. Complete graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_graph

    The complete graph on n vertices is denoted by K n.Some sources claim that the letter K in this notation stands for the German word komplett, [4] but the German name for a complete graph, vollständiger Graph, does not contain the letter K, and other sources state that the notation honors the contributions of Kazimierz Kuratowski to graph theory.

  4. Outline of discrete mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Outline_of_discrete_mathematics

    Discrete mathematics is the study of mathematical structures that are fundamentally discrete rather than continuous.In contrast to real numbers that have the property of varying "smoothly", the objects studied in discrete mathematics – such as integers, graphs, and statements in logic [1] – do not vary smoothly in this way, but have distinct, separated values. [2]

  5. Graph (discrete mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_(discrete_mathematics)

    A graph with three vertices and three edges. A graph (sometimes called an undirected graph to distinguish it from a directed graph, or a simple graph to distinguish it from a multigraph) [4] [5] is a pair G = (V, E), where V is a set whose elements are called vertices (singular: vertex), and E is a set of unordered pairs {,} of vertices, whose elements are called edges (sometimes links or lines).

  6. Discrete calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_calculus

    Discrete calculus or the calculus of discrete functions, is the mathematical study of incremental change, in the same way that geometry is the study of shape and algebra is the study of generalizations of arithmetic operations.

  7. Mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics

    The four color theorem and optimal sphere packing were two major problems of discrete mathematics solved in the second half of the 20th century. [44] The P versus NP problem, which remains open to this day, is also important for discrete mathematics, since its solution would potentially impact a large number of computationally difficult ...

  8. Mathematical structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_structure

    In Mathematics, a structure on a set (or on some sets) refers to providing it (or them) with certain additional features (e.g. an operation, relation, metric, or topology). Τhe additional features are attached or related to the set (or to the sets), so as to provide it (or them) with some additional meaning or significance.

  9. Discrete space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_space

    In topology, a discrete space is a particularly simple example of a topological space or similar structure, one in which the points form a discontinuous sequence, meaning they are isolated from each other in a certain sense. The discrete topology is the finest topology that can be given on a set.
