  2. Harness bend - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harness_bend

    The double harness bend is an unfinished Fisherman's knot (or even a Double fisherman's knot): the end needs to go through its own half hitch (twice) to form a (double) overhand knot. The double harness bend is an unfinished Blood knot : The half hitches need to take one or several turns around both ropes before going through the eye in the middle.

  3. Reever Knot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reever_Knot

    The relationship between the Reever Knot and the Vice Versa Bend was first pointed out by Clements In his 2004 article "The Vice Versa Bend and the Reever Knot". [1] His analysis of the symmetry of the two forms of the knot led him to suggest that the Reever Knot, being completely symmetric, is the better version of the knot.

  4. Figure-eight knot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure-eight_knot

    The figure-eight bend knot is used to "splice" together two ropes, not necessarily of equal diameter. This knot is tied starting with a loose figure-eight knot on one rope (the larger-diameter one if unequal), and threading of the other rope's running end through the first figure eight, starting at the first figure-eight's running end and ...

  5. Bend (knot) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bend_(knot)

    A symmetrical bend tied with two overhand knots around the standing end of the other line. A variation of the fisherman's knot consisting of two double overhands. A variation of the fisherman's knot consisting of triple overhands. Flemish bend: A bend based on the figure-eight knot. Harness bend: A bend that can be pulled taut before securing.

  6. Graph of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_of_a_function

    Given a function: from a set X (the domain) to a set Y (the codomain), the graph of the function is the set [4] = {(, ()):}, which is a subset of the Cartesian product.In the definition of a function in terms of set theory, it is common to identify a function with its graph, although, formally, a function is formed by the triple consisting of its domain, its codomain and its graph.

  7. Skein relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skein_relation

    The three diagrams must exhibit the three possibilities that could occur for the two line segments at that crossing, one of the lines could pass under, the same line could be over or the two lines might not cross at all. Link diagrams must be considered because a single skein change can alter a diagram from representing a knot to one ...

  8. Functional (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    At the same time, the mapping of a function to the value of the function at a point is a functional; here, is a parameter. Provided that f {\displaystyle f} is a linear function from a vector space to the underlying scalar field, the above linear maps are dual to each other, and in functional analysis both are called linear functionals .

  9. Transformation (function) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformation_(function)

    In mathematics, a transformation, transform, or self-map [1] is a function f, usually with some geometrical underpinning, that maps a set X to itself, i.e. f: X → X. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Examples include linear transformations of vector spaces and geometric transformations , which include projective transformations , affine transformations , and ...
