Suppose a function f(x, y, z) = 0, where x, y, and z are functions of each other. Write the total differentials of the variables = + = + Substitute dy into dx = [() + ()] + By using the chain rule one can show the coefficient of dx on the right hand side is equal to one, thus the coefficient of dz must be zero () + = Subtracting the second term and multiplying by its inverse gives the triple ...
Cyclic number, a number such that cyclic permutations of the digits are successive multiples of the number; Cyclic order, a ternary relation defining a way to arrange a set of objects in a circle; Cyclic permutation, a permutation with one nontrivial orbit; Cyclic polygon, a polygon which can be given a circumscribed circle
(1) There is only one way to construct a permutation of k elements with k cycles: Every cycle must have length 1 so every element must be a fixed point. (2.a) Every cycle of length k may be written as permutation of the number 1 to k; there are k! of these permutations.
In algebra, a cyclic division algebra is one of the basic examples of a division algebra over a field and plays a key role in the theory of central simple algebras. Definition [ edit ]
A cyclic group is a group which is equal to one of its cyclic subgroups: G = g for some element g, called a generator of G. For a finite cyclic group G of order n we have G = {e, g, g 2, ... , g n−1}, where e is the identity element and g i = g j whenever i ≡ j (mod n); in particular g n = g 0 = e, and g −1 = g n−1.
In the previous example there were three different cycle lengths, so we will use three variables, a 1, a 2 and a 3 (in general, use the variable a k to correspond to length k cycles). The variable a i will be raised to the j i (g) power where j i (g) is the number of cycles of length i in the cycle decomposition of permutation g.
A cyclic number [1] [2] is a natural number n such that n and φ(n) are coprime. Here φ is Euler's totient function. An equivalent definition is that a number n is cyclic if and only if any group of order n is cyclic. [3] Any prime number is clearly cyclic. All cyclic numbers are square-free. [4] Let n = p 1 p 2 …
Examples of properties not necessarily preserved include being free, and being cyclic. Many ring-theoretic properties are stated in terms of their modules, and so these properties are preserved between Morita equivalent rings. Properties shared between equivalent rings are called Morita invariant properties.
