  2. Selection principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_principle

    Selection principles mainly describe covering properties, measure-and category-theoretic properties, and local properties in topological spaces, especially function spaces. Often, the characterization of a mathematical property using a selection principle is a nontrivial task leading to new insights on the characterized property.

  6. Helly's selection theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helly's_selection_theorem

    In mathematics, Helly's selection theorem (also called the Helly selection principle) states that a uniformly bounded sequence of monotone real functions admits a convergent subsequence. In other words, it is a sequential compactness theorem for the space of uniformly bounded monotone functions. It is named for the Austrian mathematician Eduard ...

    Thermolysis converts 1 to (E,E) geometric isomer 2, but 3 to (E,Z) isomer 4.. The Woodward–Hoffmann rules (or the pericyclic selection rules) [1] are a set of rules devised by Robert Burns Woodward and Roald Hoffmann to rationalize or predict certain aspects of the stereochemistry and activation energy of pericyclic reactions, an important class of reactions in organic chemistry.

  8. Menger space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menger_space

    In mathematics, a Menger space is a topological space that satisfies a certain basic selection principle that generalizes σ-compactness.A Menger space is a space in which for every sequence of open covers ,, … of the space there are finite sets ,, … such that the family covers the space.
