  2. Change of variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_of_variables

    Change of variables is an operation that is related to substitution. However these are different operations, as can be seen when considering differentiation or integration (integration by substitution). A very simple example of a useful variable change can be seen in the problem of finding the roots of the sixth-degree polynomial:

  3. Substitution (logic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substitution_(logic)

    Where ψ and φ represent formulas of propositional logic, ψ is a substitution instance of φ if and only if ψ may be obtained from φ by substituting formulas for propositional variables in φ, replacing each occurrence of the same variable by an occurrence of the same formula. For example: ψ: (R → S) & (T → S) is a substitution ...

  4. Substitution tiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substitution_tiling

    A simple example that produces a periodic tiling has only one prototile, namely a square: By iterating this tile substitution, larger and larger regions of the plane are covered with a square grid. A more sophisticated example with two prototiles is shown below, with the two steps of blowing up and dissecting merged into one step.

  5. General set theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_set_theory

    The converse of this axiom follows from the substitution property of equality. 2) Axiom Schema of Specification (or Separation or Restricted Comprehension ): If z is a set and ϕ {\displaystyle \phi } is any property which may be satisfied by all, some, or no elements of z , then there exists a subset y of z containing just those elements x in ...

  6. Property (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Property_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, a property is any characteristic that applies to a given set. [1] Rigorously, a property p defined for all elements of a set X is usually defined as a function p: X → {true, false}, that is true whenever the property holds; or, equivalently, as the subset of X for which p holds; i.e. the set {x | p(x) = true}; p is its indicator function.

    Substitution principle can refer to several things: Substitution principle (mathematics) Substitution principle (sustainability) Liskov substitution principle ...

  8. Predicate (mathematical logic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predicate_(mathematical_logic)

    A predicate is a statement or mathematical assertion that contains variables, sometimes referred to as predicate variables, and may be true or false depending on those variables’ value or values.

  9. Comparison theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_theorem

    In Riemannian geometry, it is a traditional name for a number of theorems that compare various metrics and provide various estimates in Riemannian geometry. [4] Rauch comparison theorem relates the sectional curvature of a Riemannian manifold to the rate at which its geodesics spread apart; Toponogov's theorem; Myers's theorem; Hessian ...
