  2. Free will theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_will_theorem

    The free will theorem states: Given the axioms, if the choice about what measurement to take is not a function of the information accessible to the experimenters (free will assumption), then the results of the measurements cannot be determined by anything previous to the experiments. That is an "outcome open" theorem:

  3. Tits alternative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tits_alternative

    A linear group is not amenable if and only if it contains a non-abelian free group (thus the von Neumann conjecture, while not true in general, holds for linear groups). The Tits alternative is an important ingredient [2] in the proof of Gromov's theorem on groups of polynomial growth. In fact the alternative essentially establishes the result ...

  4. Erdős conjecture on arithmetic progressions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erdős_conjecture_on...

    In 1936, Erdős and Turán made the weaker conjecture that any set of integers with positive natural density contains infinitely many 3 term arithmetic progressions. [1] This was proven by Klaus Roth in 1952, and generalized to arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions by Szemerédi in 1975 in what is now known as Szemerédi's theorem .

    The theorem of Du Bois-Reymond asserts that this weak form implies the strong form. If L {\displaystyle L} has continuous first and second derivatives with respect to all of its arguments, and if ∂ 2 L ∂ f ′ 2 ≠ 0 , {\displaystyle {\frac {\partial ^{2}L}{\partial f'^{2}}}\neq 0,} then f {\displaystyle f} has two continuous derivatives ...

  7. Tent map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tent_map

    The tent map with parameter μ = 2 and the logistic map with parameter r = 4 are topologically conjugate, [1] and thus the behaviours of the two maps are in this sense identical under iteration. Depending on the value of μ, the tent map demonstrates a range of dynamical behaviour ranging from predictable to chaotic.

  8. Roth's theorem on arithmetic progressions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roth's_Theorem_on...

    Roth's theorem on arithmetic progressions (infinite version): A subset of the natural numbers with positive upper density contains a 3-term arithmetic progression. An alternate, more qualitative, formulation of the theorem is concerned with the maximum size of a Salem–Spencer set which is a subset of [ N ] = { 1 , … , N } {\displaystyle [N ...

  9. Renewal theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewal_theory

    Renewal theory is the branch of probability theory that generalizes the Poisson process for arbitrary holding times. Instead of exponentially distributed holding times, a renewal process may have any independent and identically distributed (IID) holding times that have finite mean.
