  2. Tennis racket theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennis_racket_theorem

    The tennis racket theorem or intermediate axis theorem, is a kinetic phenomenon of classical mechanics which describes the movement of a rigid body with three distinct principal moments of inertia. It has also been dubbed the Dzhanibekov effect , after Soviet cosmonaut Vladimir Dzhanibekov , who noticed one of the theorem's logical consequences ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Dzhanibekov

    In 1985 he demonstrated stable and unstable rotation of a T-handle nut from the orbit, subsequently named the Dzhanibekov effect. The effect had been long known from the tennis racket theorem, which says that rotation about an object's intermediate principal axis is unstable while in free fall. In 1985 he was promoted to the rank of major ...

    Theorem [7] — Suppose T is a distribution on U with compact support K. There exists a continuous function f {\displaystyle f} defined on U and a multi-index p such that T = ∂ p f , {\displaystyle T=\partial ^{p}f,} where the derivatives are understood in the sense of distributions.

  7. Künneth theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Künneth_theorem

    The classical statement of the Künneth theorem relates the singular homology of two topological spaces X and Y and their product space. In the simplest possible case the relationship is that of a tensor product , but for applications it is very often necessary to apply certain tools of homological algebra to express the answer.

  8. Inverse function theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_function_theorem

    For functions of a single variable, the theorem states that if is a continuously differentiable function with nonzero derivative at the point ; then is injective (or bijective onto the image) in a neighborhood of , the inverse is continuously differentiable near = (), and the derivative of the inverse function at is the reciprocal of the derivative of at : ′ = ′ = ′ (()).

  9. Frenet–Serret formulas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frenet–Serret_formulas

    The first Frenet-Serret formula holds by the definition of the normal N and the curvature κ, and the third Frenet-Serret formula holds by the definition of the torsion τ. Thus what is needed is to show the second Frenet-Serret formula. Since T, N, B are orthogonal unit vectors with B = T × N, one also has T = N × B and N = B × T.
