    0 (aleph-nought, aleph-zero, or aleph-null) is the cardinality of the set of all natural numbers, and is an infinite cardinal.The set of all finite ordinals, called ω or ω 0 (where ω is the lowercase Greek letter omega), has cardinality ℵ 0.

    The infinite words, or ω-words, can likewise be viewed as functions from to Σ. The set of all infinite words over Σ is denoted Σ ω. The set of all finite and infinite words over Σ is sometimes written Σ ∞ or Σ ≤ω. Thus an ω-language L over Σ is a subset of Σ ω.

    In mathematics, an infinitesimal number is a non-zero quantity that is closer to 0 than any non-zero real number is. The word infinitesimal comes from a 17th-century Modern Latin coinage infinitesimus, which originally referred to the "infinity-eth" item in a sequence.

    A mathematical constant is a key number whose value is fixed by an unambiguous definition, often referred to by a symbol (e.g., an alphabet letter), or by mathematicians' names to facilitate using it across multiple mathematical problems. [1]

    The lemniscate has been a common decorative motif since ancient times; for instance, it is commonly seen on Viking Age combs. [4] The English mathematician John Wallis is credited with introducing the infinity symbol with its mathematical meaning in 1655, in his De sectionibus conicis. [5] [6] [7] Wallis did not explain his choice of this symbol.

  9. Recurrent word - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recurrent_word

    In mathematics, a recurrent word or sequence is an infinite word over a finite alphabet in which every factor occurs infinitely many times. [1] [2] [3] An infinite word is recurrent if and only if it is a sesquipower. [4] [5] A uniformly recurrent word is a recurrent word in which for any given factor X in the sequence, there is some length n X ...
