  2. Isoperimetric inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isoperimetric_inequality

    The spherical isoperimetric inequality states that (), and that the equality holds if and only if the curve is a circle. There are, in fact, two ways to measure the spherical area enclosed by a simple closed curve, but the inequality is symmetric with the respect to taking the complement.

  3. Disk (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In geometry, a disk (also spelled disc) [1] is the region in a plane bounded by a circle. A disk is said to be closed if it contains the circle that constitutes its boundary, and open if it does not. [2] For a radius, , an open disk is usually denoted as and a closed disk is ¯.

  4. Interval (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    An interval is said to be left-open if and only if it contains no minimum (an element that is smaller than all other elements); right-open if it contains no maximum; and open if it contains neither. The interval [0, 1) = {x | 0 ≤ x < 1}, for example, is left-closed and right-open. The empty set and the set of all reals are both open and ...

  5. Convex cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_cone

    A closed half-space is a set in the form {()} or {()}, and likewise an open half-space uses strict inequality. [11] [12] Half-spaces (open or closed) are affine convex cones. Moreover (in finite dimensions), any convex cone C that is not the whole space V must be contained in some closed half-space H of V; this is a special case of Farkas' lemma.

  6. Douady–Earle extension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douady–Earle_extension

    In mathematics, the Douady–Earle extension, named after Adrien Douady and Clifford Earle, is a way of extending homeomorphisms of the unit circle in the complex plane to homeomorphisms of the closed unit disk, such that the extension is a diffeomorphism of the open disk. The extension is analytic on the open disk.

  7. Poincaré inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincaré_inequality

    When Ω is a ball, the above inequality is called a (p,p)-Poincaré inequality; for more general domains Ω, the above is more familiarly known as a Sobolev inequality. The necessity to subtract the average value can be seen by considering constant functions for which the derivative is zero while, without subtracting the average, we can have ...

  8. Ultrametric space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrametric_space

    That is, open balls are also closed, and closed balls (replace < with ) are also open. The set of all open balls with radius r {\displaystyle r} and center in a closed ball of radius r > 0 {\displaystyle r>0} forms a partition of the latter, and the mutual distance of two distinct open balls is (greater or) equal to r {\displaystyle r} .

  9. Jung's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jung's_theorem

    In geometry, Jung's theorem is an inequality between the diameter of a set of points in any Euclidean space and the radius of the minimum enclosing ball of that set. It is named after Heinrich Jung, who first studied this inequality in 1901. Algorithms also exist to solve the smallest-circle problem explicitly.
