    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve

    A plane simple closed curve is also called a Jordan curve. It is also defined as a non-self-intersecting continuous loop in the plane. [9] The Jordan curve theorem states that the set complement in a plane of a Jordan curve consists of two connected components (that is the curve divides the plane in two non-intersecting regions that are both ...

  3. Algebraic closure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_closure

    In mathematics, particularly abstract algebra, an algebraic closure of a field K is an algebraic extension of K that is algebraically closed. It is one of many closures in mathematics. Using Zorn's lemma [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] or the weaker ultrafilter lemma , [ 4 ] [ 5 ] it can be shown that every field has an algebraic closure , and that the ...

    An algebraic curve in the Euclidean plane is the set of the points whose coordinates are the solutions of a bivariate polynomial equation p(x, y) = 0.This equation is often called the implicit equation of the curve, in contrast to the curves that are the graph of a function defining explicitly y as a function of x.

    In mathematics, a field F is algebraically closed if every non-constant polynomial in F[x] (the univariate polynomial ring with coefficients in F) has a root in F.In other words, a field is algebraically closed if the fundamental theorem of algebra holds for it.

  8. Jordan curve theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_curve_theorem

    A Jordan curve or a simple closed curve in the plane R 2 is the image C of an injective continuous map of a circle into the plane, φ: S 1 → R 2. A Jordan arc in the plane is the image of an injective continuous map of a closed and bounded interval [a, b] into the plane. It is a plane curve that is not necessarily smooth nor algebraic.

  9. Closed graph theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_graph_theorem

    The closed graph theorem is an important result in functional analysis that guarantees that a closed linear operator is continuous under certain conditions. The original result has been generalized many times. A well known version of the closed graph theorems is the following.
