The Tower of Hanoi – Myths and Maths is a book in recreational mathematics, on the tower of Hanoi, baguenaudier, and related puzzles. It was written by Andreas M. Hinz, Sandi Klavžar, Uroš Milutinović, and Ciril Petr, and published in 2013 by Birkhäuser, with an expanded second edition in 2018. The Basic Library List Committee of the Mathematical Association of America has suggested its inclusion in undergraduate mathematics libraries. Topics Although this book is in recreational mathematics, it takes its subject seriously, and brings in material from automata theory, computational complexity, the design and analysis of algorithms, graph theory, and group theory, topology, fractal geometry, chemical graph theory, and even psychology (where related puzzles have applications in psychological testing). The 1st edition of the book had 10 chapters, and the 2nd edition has 11. In both cases they begin with chapter zero, on the background and history of the Tower of Hanoi puzzle, covering its real-world invention by Édouard Lucas and in the mythical backstory he invented for it. Chapter one considers the Baguenaudier puzzle (or, as it is often called, the Chinese rings), related to the tower of Hanoi both in the structure of its state space and in the fact that it takes an exponential number of moves to solve, and likely the inspiration for Lucas. Chapter two introduces the main topic of the book, the tower of Hanoi, in its classical form in which one must move disks one-by-one between three towers, always keeping the disks on each tower sorted by size. It provides several different algorithms for solving the classical puzzle (in which the disks begin and end all on a single tower) in as few moves as possible, and for collecting all disks on a single tower when they begin in other configurations, again as quickly as possible. It introduces the Hanoi graphs describing the state space of the puzzle, and relates numbers of puzzle steps to distances within this graph. After a chapter on "irregular" puzzles in which the initial placement of disks on their towers is not sorted, chapter four discusses the "Sierpiński graphs" derived from the Sierpiński triangle; these are closely related to the three-tower Hanoi graphs but diverge from them for higher numbers of towers of Hanoi or higher-dimensional Sierpinski fractals. The next four chapters concern additional variants of the tower of Hanoi, in which more than three towers are used, the disks are only allowed to move between some of the towers or in restricted directions between the towers, or the rules for which disks can be placed on which are modified or relaxed. A particularly important case is the Reve's puzzle, in which the rules are unchanged except that there are four towers instead of three. An old conjecture concerning the minimum possible number of moves between two states with all disks on a single tower was finally proven in 2014, after the publication of the first edition of the book, and the

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimberly%20Powers
Kimberly A. Powers is an American epidemiologist who is an associate professor of epidemiology at the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health. She combines epidemiology, statistics and mathematical modelling to understand the transmission of infectious diseases. In 2011 her work on antiretroviral therapy for the management of human immunodeficiency virus was selected by Science as the breakthrough of the year. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Powers looked to understand the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Early life and education As a child Powers considered becoming as physician. She eventually studied mathematics at Hamilton College and graduated in 1998. After graduating she joined a healthcare consultancy, where she was first introduced to epidemiology. She spent a year at The University of New Mexico where she studied tobacco use in the community. In 2002 she moved to Los Alamos National Laboratory, where she worked as a graduate assistant in the biophysics group. There she developed mathematical models that could describe viral transmission. She was eventually accepted as a graduate student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she eared a Master's in Public Health. During her second year at UNC she saw a talk from Myron S. Cohen, and became interest in the use of antiretroviral drugs to treat HIV. She remained at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for her doctoral studies, where she studied the transmission dynamics of HIV in the laboratory of Cohen. During her doctoral research, Cohen realised that Powers would need formal training in epidemiology. She spent one year in the United Kingdom, studying at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and Imperial College London. In particular, her research considered acute- and early-stage HIV infection in Lilongwe. She spent weeks at a time visiting a STD clinic in Lilongwe, where she looked to improve patient care as well as track trends in HIV transmission. Research and career In 2010 Powers started a postdoctoral research position at the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health. She identified that almost 40% of HIV transmission occurred before patients or physicians knew about it, meaning that treatment often started after infection had occurred. People who are unaware about their own HIV infection contribute significantly to the ongoing transmission of virus. She was awarded the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill award for research excellence in 2011. Powers recognised that population-level prevention of HIV would require regular testing, to detect the virus in its early stages, as well as the provision of antiretroviral drugs. Powers was part of the HPTN 052 clinical trial, and demonstrated that there was a 96% reduction in transmission in couples who had been treated with antiretroviral therapy. She looked to apply this understanding to other populations, including in the US prison community. The proportion of HIV positive Americans in the U

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Making%20Mathematics%20with%20Needlework
Making Mathematics with Needlework: Ten Papers and Ten Projects is an edited volume on mathematics and fiber arts. It was edited by Sarah-Marie Belcastro and Carolyn Yackel, and published in 2008 by A K Peters, based on a meeting held in 2005 in Atlanta by the American Mathematical Society. Topics The book includes ten different mathematical fiber arts projects, by eight contributors. An introduction provides a history of the connections between mathematics, mathematics education, and the fiber arts. Each of its ten project chapters is illustrated by many color photographs and diagrams, and is organized into four sections: an overview of the project, a section on the mathematics connected to it, a section of ideas for using the project as a teaching activity, and directions for constructing the project. Although there are some connections between topics, they can be read independently of each other, in any order. The thesis of the book is that directed exercises in fiber arts construction can help teach both mathematical visualization and concepts from three-dimensional geometry. The book uses knitting, crochet, sewing, and cross-stitch, but deliberately avoids weaving as a topic already well-covered in mathematical fiber arts publications. Projects in the book include a quilt in the form of a Möbius strip, a "bidirectional hat" connected to the theory of Diophantine equations, a shawl with a fractal design, a knitted torus connecting to discrete approximations of curvature, a sampler demonstrating different forms of symmetry in wallpaper group, "algebraic socks" with connections to modular arithmetic and the Klein four-group, a one-sided purse sewn together following a description by Lewis Carroll, a demonstration of braid groups on a cable-knit pillow, an embroidered graph drawing of an Eulerian graph, and topological pants. Beyond belcastro and Yackel, the contributors to the book include Susan Goldstine, Joshua Holden, Lana Holden, Mary D. Shepherd, Amy F. Szczepański, and D. Jacob Wildstrom. Audience and reception Reviewers had mixed opinions on the appropriate audience for the book and its success in targeting that audience. Ketty Peeva writes that the book is "of interest to mathematicians, mathematics educators and crafters", and Mary Fortune writes that a wide group of people would enjoy browsing its contents, However, Kate Atherley warns that it is "not for the faint-of-heart" (either among mathematicians or crafters), and Mary Goetting complains that the audience for the book is not clearly defined, and is inconsistent across the book, with some chapters written for professional mathematicians and others for mathematical beginners. She writes that most readers will have to pick and choose among the chapters for material appealing to them. Similarly, reviewer Michelle Sipics writes that in aiming at multiple audiences, the book "sacrifices some accessibility". And although reviewer Gwen Fisher downplays the potential pedagogical app

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natalie%20Dean
Natalie E. Dean (née Exner; born 1987) is an American biostatistician specializing in infectious disease epidemiology. Dean is currently an assistant professor of Biostatistics at the University of Florida. Her research involves epidemiological modeling of outbreaks, including Ebola, Zika and COVID-19. Early life and education Dean was born to Christine and Paul Exner. She grew up in Reading, Massachusetts, and attended Phillips Academy. She became interested in infectious diseases during high school. While Dean briefly considered becoming an experimental microbiologist, she quickly recognized that she preferred the computer to the laboratory. In 2009, Dean earned a B.A. in mathematics/statistics and biology from Boston University, where she was first introduced to epidemiology. During her undergraduate degree she was inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa honor society. In 2011, Dean earned an A.M. master's degree in biostatistics from Harvard University where she developed surveillance methods to better understand the incidence of HIV. Dean received a PhD in biostatistics in 2014 with a dissertation on Surveillance methods for monitoring HIV incidence & drug resistance under the supervision of Marcello Pagano. Research and career In May 2014, Dean moved to Florida, where she joined the World Health Organization as a statistical consultant. In this capacity she designed surveys that could evaluate the drug resistant mutations to HIV treatment. In 2015 she joined the University of Florida Center for Statistics in Quantitative Infectious Diseases (CSQUID), where she worked as a postdoctoral researcher with Ira Longini. At CSQUID Dean conducts epidemiological analysis of disease outbreaks. She worked on the design of a vaccine trial for the Ebola virus epidemic in Guinea, which made use of a ring vaccination strategy. The ring vaccination approach had previously been used to eradicate smallpox in the 1970s. This strategy randomly selects and vaccinates the contacts of Ebola virus cases, and organizes populations into delayed and immediate-vaccination clusters. The ring vaccination approach was shown to be highly effective, and was replicated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2018. Dean also studied asymptomatic Ebola cases. After her success with the Ebola vaccine, Dean started to work on Zika virus. There were concerns that Zika virus caused microcephaly. Dean worked with Longini to better predict the spread of the infection through the Americas. She has described how challenging it is to design and evaluate effective vaccinations during public health emergencies, and why researchers must be both flexible and responsive. Dean has provided expert commentary to the media and public throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. She has continued to work with the World Health Organization on the evaluation of a coronavirus vaccine. Mashable described Dean as one of the top coronavirus disease researchers to follow on Twitter. In discussion with her alma

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LB-space
In mathematics, an LB-space, also written (LB)-space, is a topological vector space that is a locally convex inductive limit of a countable inductive system of Banach spaces. This means that is a direct limit of a direct system in the category of locally convex topological vector spaces and each is a Banach space. If each of the bonding maps is an embedding of TVSs then the LB-space is called a strict LB-space. This means that the topology induced on by is identical to the original topology on Some authors (e.g. Schaefer) define the term "LB-space" to mean "strict LB-space," so when reading mathematical literature, its recommended to always check how LB-space is defined. Definition The topology on can be described by specifying that an absolutely convex subset is a neighborhood of if and only if is an absolutely convex neighborhood of in for every Properties A strict LB-space is complete, barrelled, and bornological (and thus ultrabornological). Examples If is a locally compact topological space that is countable at infinity (that is, it is equal to a countable union of compact subspaces) then the space of all continuous, complex-valued functions on with compact support is a strict LB-space. For any compact subset let denote the Banach space of complex-valued functions that are supported by with the uniform norm and order the family of compact subsets of by inclusion. Final topology on the direct limit of finite-dimensional Euclidean spaces Let denote the , where denotes the space of all real sequences. For every natural number let denote the usual Euclidean space endowed with the Euclidean topology and let denote the canonical inclusion defined by so that its image is and consequently, Endow the set with the final topology induced by the family of all canonical inclusions. With this topology, becomes a complete Hausdorff locally convex sequential topological vector space that is a Fréchet–Urysohn space. The topology is strictly finer than the subspace topology induced on by where is endowed with its usual product topology. Endow the image with the final topology induced on it by the bijection that is, it is endowed with the Euclidean topology transferred to it from via This topology on is equal to the subspace topology induced on it by A subset is open (resp. closed) in if and only if for every the set is an open (resp. closed) subset of The topology is coherent with family of subspaces This makes into an LB-space.

Under this identification, becomes a direct limit of the direct system where for every the map is the canonical inclusion defined by where there are trailing zeros. Counter-examp
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blumberg%20theorem
In mathematics, the Blumberg theorem states that for any real function there is a dense subset of such that the restriction of to is continuous. Examples For instance, the restriction of the Dirichlet function (the indicator function of the rational numbers ) to is continuous, although the Dirichlet function is nowhere continuous in Blumberg spaces More generally, a Blumberg space is a topological space for which any function admits a continuous restriction on a dense subset of The Blumberg theorem therefore asserts that (equipped with its usual topology) is a Blumberg space. If is a metric space then is a Blumberg space if and only if it is a Baire space. Motivation and discussion The restriction of any continuous function to any subset of its domain (dense or otherwise) is always continuous, so the conclusion of the Blumberg theorem is only interesting for functions that are not continuous. Given a function that is not continuous, it is typically not surprising to discover that its restriction to some subset is once again not continuous, and so only those restrictions that are continuous are (potentially) interesting. Such restrictions are not all interesting, however. For example, the restriction of any function (even one as interesting as the Dirichlet function) to any subset on which it is constant will be continuous, although this fact is as uninteresting as constant functions. Similarly uninteresting, the restriction of function (continuous or not) to a single point or to any finite subset of (or more generally, to any discrete subspace of such as the integers ) will be continuous. One case that is considerably more interesting is that of a non-continuous function whose restriction to some dense subset (of its domain) continuous. An important fact about continuous -valued functions defined on dense subsets is that a continuous extension to all of if one exists, will be unique (there exist continuous functions defined on dense subsets of such as that cannot be continuously extended to all of ). Thomae's function, for example, is not continuous (in fact, it is discontinuous at rational number) although its restriction to the dense subset of irrational numbers is continuous. Similarly, every additive function that is not linear (that is, not of the form for some constant ) is a nowhere continuous function whose restriction to is continuous (such functions are the non-trivial solutions to Cauchy's functional equation). This raises the question: can such a dense subset always be found? The Blumberg theorem answer this question in the affirmative. In other words, every function − no matter how poorly behaved it may be − can be restricted to some dense subset on which it is continuous. Said differently, the Blumberg theorem shows that there does not exist a function that is so poorly behaved (with respect to continuity) that all of its restrictions to all possible dense subsets are discontinuous.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System%20of%20differential%20equations
In mathematics, a system of differential equations is a finite set of differential equations. Such a system can be either linear or non-linear. Also, such a system can be either a system of ordinary differential equations or a system of partial differential equations. Linear system of differential equations Like any system of equations, a system of linear differential equations is said to be overdetermined if there are more equations than the unknowns. For an overdetermined system to have a solution, it needs to satisfy the compatibility conditions. For example, consider the system: Then the necessary conditions for the system to have a solution are: See also: Cauchy problem and Ehrenpreis's fundamental principle. Non-linear system of differential equations Perhaps the most famous example of a non-linear system of differential equations is the Navier–Stokes equations. Unlike the linear case, the existence of a solution of a non-linear system is a difficult problem (cf. Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness.) See also: h-principle. Differential system A differential system is a means of studying a system of partial differential equations using geometric ideas such as differential forms and vector fields. For example, the compatibility conditions of an overdetermined system of differential equations can be succinctly stated in terms of differential forms (i.e., a form to be exact, it needs to be closed).

Jan Saxl (5 June 1948 – 2 May 2020) was a Czech-British mathematician, and a professor at the University of Cambridge. He was known for his work in finite group theory, particularly on consequences of the classification of finite simple groups. Education and career Saxl was born in Brno, in what was at the time Czechoslovakia. He came to the United Kingdom in 1968, during the Prague Spring. After undergraduate studies at the University of Bristol, he completed his DPhil in 1973 at the University of Oxford under the direction of Peter M. Neumann, with the title of Multiply Transitive Permutation Groups. Saxl held postdoctoral positions at Oxford and the University of Illinois at Chicago, and a lecturer position at the University of Glasgow. He moved to the University of Cambridge in 1976, and spent the rest of his career there. He was elected as a fellow of Gonville and Caius College in 1986, and he retired in 2015. Saxl published around 100 papers, and according to MathSciNet, these have been cited over 1900 times. He is noted for his work in finite group theory, particularly on permutation groups, and often coauthored with Robert Guralnick, Martin Liebeck, and Cheryl Praeger. Some notable and highly-cited examples of this work are as follows. Liebeck, Saxl and Praeger gave a relatively simple and self-contained proof of the O'Nan–Scott theorem. It had long been known that every maximal subgroup of a symmetric group or alternating group was intransitive, imprimitive, or primitive, and the same authors in 1988 gave a partial description of which primitive subgroups could occur. Personal life Saxl was married to Cambridge mathematician Ruth M. Williams and they had one daughter, Miriam. Death Saxl died on 2 May 2020, after a long period of poor health.

The midpoint of the line segment that connects the vertices of the squares opposite the common vertex, , of the two sides of the triangle is independent of the location of . The theorem is true when the squares are constructed in one of the following ways: Looking at the figure, starting from the lower left vertex, , follow the triangle vertices clockwise and construct the squares to the left of the sides of the triangle.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometry%20From%20Africa
Geometry From Africa: Mathematical and Educational Explorations is a book in ethnomathematics by . It analyzes the mathematics behind geometric designs and patterns from multiple African cultures, and suggests ways of connecting this analysis with the mathematics curriculum. It was published in 1999 by the Mathematical Association of America, in their Classroom Resource Materials book series. Background The book's author, Paulus Gerdes (1952–2014), was a mathematician from the Netherlands who became a professor of mathematics at the Eduardo Mondlane University in Mozambique, rector of Maputo University, and chair of the African Mathematical Union Commission on the History of Mathematics in Africa. He was a prolific author, especially of works on the ethnomathematics of Africa. However, as many of his publications were written in Portuguese, German, and French, or published only in Mozambique, this book makes his work in ethnomathematics more accessible to English-speaking mathematicians. Topics The book is heavily illustrated, and describes geometric patterns in the carvings, textiles, drawings and paintings of multiple African cultures. Although these are primarily decorative rather than mathematical, Gerdes adds his own mathematical analysis of the patterns, and suggests ways of incorporating this analysis into the mathematical curriculum. It is divided into four chapters. The first of these provides an overview of geometric patterns in many African cultures, including examples of textiles, knotwork, architecture, basketry, metalwork, ceramics, petroglyphs, facial tattoos, body painting, and hair styles. The second chapter presents examples of designs in which squares and right triangles can be formed from elements of the patterns, and suggests educational activities connecting these materials to the Pythagorean theorem and to the theory of Latin squares. For instance, basket-weavers in Mozambique form square knotted buttons out of folded ribbons, and the resulting pattern of oblique lines crossing the square suggests a standard dissection-based proof of the theorem. The third chapter uses African designs, particularly in basket-weaving, to illustrate themes of symmetry, polygons and polyhedra, area, volume, and the theory of fullerenes. In the final chapter, the only one to concentrate on a single African culture, the book discusses the sona sand-drawings of the Chokwe people, in which a single self-crossing curve surrounds and separates a grid of points. These drawings connect to the theory of Euler tours, fractals, arithmetic series, and polyominos. Audience and reception The book is aimed at primary and secondary school mathematics teachers. Reviewer Karen Dee Michalowicz, a school teacher, writes that although the connections between culture and mathematics are sometimes contrived, "every mathematics educator would benefit" from the book. Ethnomathematician Marcia Ascher suggests that the book would have benefited from an index and a

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deformed%20Hermitian%20Yang%E2%80%93Mills%20equation
In mathematics and theoretical physics, and especially gauge theory, the deformed Hermitian Yang–Mills (dHYM) equation is a differential equation describing the equations of motion for a D-brane in the B-model (commonly called a B-brane) of string theory. The equation was derived by Mariño-Minasian-Moore-Strominger in the case of Abelian gauge group (the unitary group ), and by Leung–Yau–Zaslow using mirror symmetry from the corresponding equations of motion for D-branes in the A-model of string theory. Definition In this section we present the dHYM equation as explained in the mathematical literature by Collins-Xie-Yau. The deformed Hermitian–Yang–Mills equation is a fully non-linear partial differential equation for a Hermitian metric on a line bundle over a compact Kähler manifold, or more generally for a real -form. Namely, suppose is a Kähler manifold and is a class. The case of a line bundle consists of setting where is the first Chern class of a holomorphic line bundle . Suppose that and consider the topological constant Notice that depends only on the class of and . Suppose that . Then this is a complex number for some real and angle which is uniquely determined. Fix a smooth representative differential form in the class . For a smooth function write , and notice that . The deformed Hermitian Yang–Mills equation for with respect to is The second condition should be seen as a positivity condition on solutions to the first equation. That is, one looks for solutions to the equation such that . This is in analogy to the related problem of finding Kähler-Einstein metrics by looking for metrics solving the Einstein equation, subject to the condition that is a Kähler potential (which is a positivity condition on the form ). Discussion Relation to Hermitian Yang–Mills equation The dHYM equations can be transformed in several ways to illuminate several key properties of the equations. First, simple algebraic manipulation shows that the dHYM equation may be equivalently written In this form, it is possible to see the relation between the dHYM equation and the regular Hermitian Yang–Mills equation. In particular, the dHYM equation should look like the regular HYM equation in the so-called large volume limit. Precisely, one replaces the Kähler form by for a positive integer , and allows . Notice that the phase for depends on . In fact, , and we can expand Here we see that and we see the dHYM equation for takes the form for some topological constant determined by . Thus we see the leading order term in the dHYM equation is which is just the HYM equation (replacing by if necessary). Local form The dHYM equation may also be written in local coordinates.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridgeland%20stability%20condition
In mathematics, and especially algebraic geometry, a Bridgeland stability condition, defined by Tom Bridgeland, is an algebro-geometric stability condition defined on elements of a triangulated category. The case of original interest and particular importance is when this triangulated category is the derived category of coherent sheaves on a Calabi–Yau manifold, and this situation has fundamental links to string theory and the study of D-branes. Such stability conditions were introduced in a rudimentary form by Michael Douglas called -stability and used to study BPS B-branes in string theory. This concept was made precise by Bridgeland, who phrased these stability conditions categorically, and initiated their study mathematically. Definition The definitions in this section are presented as in the original paper of Bridgeland, for arbitrary triangulated categories. Let be a triangulated category. Slicing of triangulated categories A slicing of is a collection of full additive subcategories for each such that for all , where is the shift functor on the triangulated category, if and and , then , and for every object there exists a finite sequence of real numbers and a collection of triangles with for all . The last property should be viewed as axiomatically imposing the existence of Harder–Narasimhan filtrations on elements of the category . Stability conditions A Bridgeland stability condition on a triangulated category is a pair consisting of a slicing and a group homomorphism , where is the Grothendieck group of , called a central charge, satisfying if then for some strictly positive real number . It is convention to assume the category is essentially small, so that the collection of all stability conditions on forms a set . In good circumstances, for example when is the derived category of coherent sheaves on a complex manifold , this set actually has the structure of a complex manifold itself. Technical remarks about stability condition It is shown by Bridgeland that the data of a Bridgeland stability condition is equivalent to specifying a bounded t-structure on the category and a central charge on the heart of this t-structure which satisfies the Harder–Narasimhan property above. An element is semi-stable (resp. stable) with respect to the stability condition if for every surjection for , we have where and similarly for . Examples From the Harder–Narasimhan filtration Recall the Harder–Narasimhan filtration for a smooth projective curve implies for any coherent sheaf there is a filtrationsuch that the factors have slope . We can extend this filtration to a bounded complex of sheaves by considering the filtration on the cohomology sheaves and defining the slope of , giving a functionfor the central charge. Elliptic curves There is an analysis by Bridgeland for the case of Elliptic curves. He finds there is an equivalencewhere is the set of stability conditions and is the set of autoequi

Caroline Jane (Carly) Klivans is an American mathematician specializing in algebraic combinatorics, including work on cell complexes associated with matroids and on chip-firing games. She is an associate professor of applied mathematics at Brown University, and associate director of the Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics at Brown. Education and career As an undergraduate at Cornell University, Klivans was the 1999 winner of the Alice T. Schafer Prize of the Association for Women in Mathematics for excellence in mathematics by an undergraduate woman, for an undergraduate research project involving robot navigation algorithms. She graduated from Cornell in 1999, and completed her Ph.D. at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2003. Her dissertation, Combinatorial Properties of Shifted Complexes, was supervised by Richard P. Stanley. After postdoctoral research at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute and the University of Chicago, where she was an L. E. Dickson Instructor, and positions as a researcher and lecturer at the University of Chicago and Brown University, she became associate director of the Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics at Brown in 2015, and obtained a regular-rank faculty position as associate professor there in 2018. In 2022, she was elected member-at-large of the AWM Executive Committee. Contributions Klivans is the author of the book The Mathematics of Chip-Firing (CRC Press, 2018). Her research contributions include a disproof of a 50-year-old conjecture of Richard Stanley that every abstract simplicial complex whose face ring is a Cohen–Macaulay ring can be partitioned into disjoint intervals, each including a facet of the complex. Such a partition generalizes a shelling and (if it always existed) would have been helpful in understanding the -vectors of these complexes.

Statistics Progression charts Total confirmed cases, active cases, deaths, and recoveries On 8 April 2020, the Robert Koch Institute began using another method to estimate the numbers of recoveries, now also incorporating cases where the date of the first symptoms is unknown. This caused the singular sharp drop in active cases on that date. New cases per day New deaths per day Reproduction rate The effective reproduction number or reproduction rate, symbolised with Re, is a rate of how many more people are infected from a positive COVID-19 case. In order to suppress an outbreak, the reproduction rate must be constantly below 1, which means each positive case infects less than one person. The Robert Koch Institute measures the reproduction rate as a moving 4-day average of the number of new symptomatic cases using a nowcasting according to the 4-day average number of new cases on a specific day and comparing it with the corresponding mean 4 days before, reflecting the spread of the disease roughly one to two weeks before any specific day. As it is however prone to larger fluctuation, taking into account possible delays in reporting, a 7-day rate is then introduced, which compares the 7-day average of cases at one specific date with 4 days before. Specific values have been published since its daily report on 7 April, while the R-rate has been calculated from 6 March. Effective reproduction number. Logarithmic scaling highlights the important changes near 1. Above 1, the number of active infections will grow exponentially, but even below 1 the decline will be very slow, if Re is too close to 1. Number of tests per week Since the beginning of testing in Germany up to and including week 25/2021 (Jun 21–27), 64,551,021 laboratory tests in at least 212 laboratories have been recorded, 4,245,186 of which have been positive. The number of tests is not the same as the number of persons tested, as the data may include multiple tests of patients.

In functional analysis, a discipline within mathematics, a locally convex topological vector space (TVS) is said to be infrabarrelled (also spelled infrabarreled) if every bounded barrel is a neighborhood of the origin. Characterizations If is a Hausdorff locally convex space then the canonical injection from into its bidual is a topological embedding if and only if is infrabarrelled. Properties Every quasi-complete infrabarrelled space is barrelled. Examples Every barrelled space is infrabarrelled. A closed vector subspace of an infrabarrelled space is, however, not necessarily infrabarrelled. Every product and locally convex direct sum of any family of infrabarrelled spaces is infrabarrelled. Every separated quotient of an infrabarrelled space is infrabarrelled. See also References Bibliography Functional analysis Topological vector spaces

In functional analysis and related areas of mathematics, the strong dual space of a topological vector space (TVS) is the continuous dual space of equipped with the strong (dual) topology or the topology of uniform convergence on bounded subsets of where this topology is denoted by or The coarsest polar topology is called weak topology. The strong dual space plays such an important role in modern functional analysis, that the continuous dual space is usually assumed to have the strong dual topology unless indicated otherwise. To emphasize that the continuous dual space, has the strong dual topology, or may be written. Strong dual topology Throughout, all vector spaces will be assumed to be over the field of either the real numbers or complex numbers Definition from a dual system Let be a dual pair of vector spaces over the field of real numbers or complex numbers For any and any define Neither nor has a topology so say a subset is said to be if for all So a subset is called if and only if This is equivalent to the usual notion of bounded subsets when is given the weak topology induced by which is a Hausdorff locally convex topology. Let denote the family of all subsets bounded by elements of ; that is, is the set of all subsets such that for every Then the on also denoted by or simply or if the pairing is understood, is defined as the locally convex topology on generated by the seminorms of the form The definition of the strong dual topology now proceeds as in the case of a TVS. Note that if is a TVS whose continuous dual space separates point on then is part of a canonical dual system where In the special case when is a locally convex space, the on the (continuous) dual space (that is, on the space of all continuous linear functionals ) is defined as the strong topology and it coincides with the topology of uniform convergence on bounded sets in i.e. with the topology on generated by the seminorms of the form where runs over the family of all bounded sets in The space with this topology is called of the space and is denoted by Definition on a TVS Suppose that is a topological vector space (TVS) over the field Let be any fundamental system of bounded sets of ; that is, is a family of bounded subsets of such that every bounded subset of is a subset of some ; the set of all bounded subsets of forms a fundamental system of bounded sets of A basis of closed neighborhoods of the origin in is given by the polars: as ranges over ).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Mathematics%20of%20Chip-Firing
The Mathematics of Chip-Firing is a textbook in mathematics on chip-firing games and abelian sandpile models. It was written by Caroline Klivans, and published in 2018 by the CRC Press. Topics A chip-firing game, in its most basic form, is a process on an undirected graph, with each vertex of the graph containing some number of chips. At each step, a vertex with more chips than incident edges is selected, and one of its chips is sent to each of its neighbors. If a single vertex is designated as a "black hole", meaning that chips sent to it vanish, then the result of the process is the same no matter what order the other vertices are selected. The stable states of this process are the ones in which no vertex has enough chips to be selected; two stable states can be added by combining their chips and then stabilizing the result. A subset of these states, the so-called critical states, form an abelian group under this addition operation. The abelian sandpile model applies this model to large grid graphs, with the black hole connected to the boundary vertices of the grid; in this formulation, with all eligible vertices selected simultaneously, it can also be interpreted as a cellular automaton. The identity element of the sandpile group often has an unusual fractal structure. The book covers these topics, and is divided into two parts. The first of these parts covers the basic theory outlined above, formulating chip-firing in terms of algebraic graph theory and the Laplacian matrix of the given graph. It describes an equivalence between states of the sandpile group and the spanning trees of the graph, and the group action on spanning trees, as well as similar connections to other combinatorial structures, and applications of these connections in algebraic combinatorics. And it studies chip-firing games on other classes of graphs than grids, including random graphs. The second part of the book has four chapters devoted to more advanced topics in chip-firing. The first of these generalizes chip-firing from Laplacian matrices of graphs to M-matrices, connecting this generalization to root systems and representation theory. The second considers chip-firing on abstract simplicial complexes instead of graphs. The third uses chip-firing to study graph-theoretic analogues of divisor theory and the Riemann–Roch theorem. And the fourth applies methods from commutative algebra to the study of chip-firing. The book includes many illustrations, and ends each chapter with a set of exercises making it suitable as a textbook for a course on this topic. Audience and reception Although the book may be readable by some undergraduate mathematics students, reviewer David Perkinson suggests that its main audience should be graduate students in mathematics, for whom it could be used as the basis of a graduate course or seminar. He calls it "a thorough introduction to an exciting and growing subject", with "clear and concise exposition". Reviewer Paul Dreyer calls it

Margaret Alice Waugh Maxfield (February 23, 1926 – December 20, 2016) was an American mathematician and mathematics book author. Education and personal life Margaret Waugh was born on February 23, 1926, in Willimantic, Connecticut. Her father was agricultural economist Frederick V. Waugh and her grandfather was horticulturist Frank Albert Waugh. She was active in the mathematics club at Oberlin College in the mid-1940s, and graduated from Oberlin in 1947. After earning a master's degree in 1948 from the University of Wisconsin, she completed her Ph.D. in 1951 at the University of Oregon. Her dissertation, Fermat's Theorem for Matrices over a Modular Ring, was supervised by Ivan M. Niven. In 1948 she had married John Edward Maxfield, another student at Wisconsin and the University of Oregon who became her frequent collaborator. As students, both Maxfields visited the Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, then known as the Naval Ordnance Test Station, in the summers. After completing their doctorates they worked at the station from 1951 until 1960, when John Maxfield took a succession of academic posts at the University of Florida, Kansas State University, and (beginning in 1981) at Louisiana Tech University. Margaret, also, became a professor of business at Kansas State, and a professor of mathematics and statistics at Louisiana Tech. By 2011 Maxfield had retired, but was still active in mathematics, and noted to her alumni magazine that she was using Wikipedia to find bibliographic material for her papers. She died on December 20, 2016, in Placerville, California. Contributions While at the Naval Ordnance Test Station, Maxfield coauthored the book Statistics Manual: With Examples Taken from Ordnance Development, with Edwin L. Crow and Frances A. Davis. It was published by the station in 1955, and reprinted by Dover Books in 1960. With John Maxfield, she was also the coauthor of Contemporary Mathematics for General Education: Algebra (Allyn and Bacon, 1963, also with S. Gould Sadler) Abstract Algebra and Solution By Radicals (W. B. Saunders, 1971; reprinted by Dover Books, 1992), Discovering Number Theory (W. B. Saunders, 1972), and Keys to Mathematics (W. B.

{ "type": "FeatureCollection", "features": [ { "type": "Feature", "properties": {}, "geometry": { "type": "Point", "coordinates": [ 22.786331, 58.805207 ] } } ] } Käina Bay () is almost isolated and very shallow approximately marine area between the Estonian islands Hiiumaa and Kassari, which is connected to the surrounding Väinameri and adjacent Vaemla Bay via three tiny channels - Orjaku channel, Orjaku sill and Vaemla (Laisna, Õunaku) channel. The maximum depth of Käina Bay is about 1 meter. Käina Bay is separated from the Väinameri Sea by Kassari Island, Õunaku Bay and Jausa Bay by a dyke road. There are many thickets of reeds and islets (23). In the southern part of the bay there is mineral curative mud. Water regime Average high water level in Käina Bay lasts from November until March and critically low water level period is from April until June. Most extreme changes in the sea level; onto which water level in the bay reacts with certain time lag, occur in the open sea from September until March, when stronger winds prevail. Sea level variability in the Käina Bay is smaller comparing to Baltic Sea. Two types of water exchange regime occur in the Käina Bay, which depend on the water level in the open sea. In the case of higher sea level water in the Vaemla Bay rises faster due to transport through Õunaku sill comparing to Käina Bay and as a consequence, open sea water arrives to the Käina bay also through Vaemla channel. In the case of lower sea level water exchange through Õunaku sill does not occur and therefor saltier water inflow (outflow) to (from) the Vaemla Bay occurs through Käina Bay. Protected nature area Landscape Reserve Käina Bay-Kassari Landscape Conservation Area (KLO1000508) is one of 152 protected areas of Estonia. Total area of the reserve is , including areas permanently covered by water . The history of this protected area dates back to 1939, when the Kassari and Vaemla Bay curative mud areas were protected. In 1962, two protected areas were established: the Kassari Island Landscape Protection Area and the Käina Bay Ornithological Protection Area, which were merged to form the Käina Bay-Kassari Landscape Protection Area in 1998. This area is maintained and improved with the support of various public funds, including support from the European Union Cohesion Fund and Environmental Investment Centre environmental programme. Vaemla region at the Käina Bay-Kassari Landscape Reserve on the south-eastern edge received the necessary tools for coastal meadow maintenance. The channels would ensure normal water exchange in the bay and at the same time create a favorable condition for the local habitats and species. Based on the 2017 study of the Taltech Department of Marine Systems about the condition of Käina Bay and Vaemla Bay, and the efficiency of water regulators and recommendations therein, the works in the watercourses were implemented

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero%20dynamics
In mathematics, zero dynamics is known as the concept of evaluating the effect of zero on systems. History The idea was introduced thirty years ago as the nonlinear approach to the concept of transmission of zeros. The original purpose of introducing the concept was to develop an asymptotic stabilization with a set of guaranteed regions of attraction (semi-global stabilizability), to make the overall system stable. Initial working Given the internal dynamics of any system, zero dynamics refers to the control action chosen in which the output variables of the system are kept identically zero. While, various systems have an equally distinctive set of zeros, such as decoupling zeros, invariant zeros, and transmission zeros. Thus, the reason for developing this concept was to control the non-minimum phase and nonlinear systems effectively. Applications The concept is widely utilized in SISO mechanical systems, whereby applying a few heuristic approaches, zeros can be identified for various linear systems. Zero dynamics adds an essential feature to the overall system’s analysis and the design of the controllers. Mainly its behavior plays a significant role in measuring the performance limitations of specific feedback systems. In a Single Input Single Output system, the zero dynamics can be identified by using junction structure patterns. In other words, using concepts like bond graph models can help to point out the potential direction of the SISO systems. Apart from its application in nonlinear standardized systems, similar controlled results can be obtained by using zero dynamics on nonlinear discrete-time systems. In this scenario, the application of zero dynamics can be an interesting tool to measure the performance of nonlinear digital design systems (nonlinear discrete-time systems). Before the advent of zero dynamics, the problem of acquiring non-interacting control systems by using internal stability was not specifically discussed. However, with the asymptotic stability present within the zero dynamics of a system, static feedback can be ensured. Such results make zero dynamics an interesting tool to guarantee the internal stability of non-interacting control systems. References Differential equations

In France, the ("Register of deceased persons") is a central register of persons who have died in the country since 1970. It is maintained by the national statistics bureau (Insee). Since October 2019, the register has been accessible online free of charge and without registration. Data in the register The register contains deaths since 1970, inclusively. For the current year, there are monthly and quarterly files. For past years, the data are summarised in one file per calendar year. Each entry concerns one person and contains the surname, first names, sex, date of birth, the Insee code of the place of birth (or country of birth for those born abroad), the name of the place of birth (for those born abroad also the name of the country of birth), the date of death, the Insee code of the place of death and the number in the death register of the respective municipality. The text fields contain only capital letters without diacritics. Each data set is included in the file that corresponds to its date of processing at the Insee, not the date of death. The law gives French civil registry offices one week to report deaths to the Insee. For reports submitted in paper form by traditional mail, postal delivery and processing at the statistics bureau will cause an additional delay before the data are recorded. Public holidays or other circumstances affecting the work of the authorities involved may also cause delays. A file of the register published by Insee for a given period therefore usually contains a significant number of entries for previous reporting periods; conversely, not all deaths occurring during the reporting period are included in the file for that period. For example, the monthly file for March 2020 contained about 8,700 entries concerning deaths before 1 March, but the file was missing 9,500 cases of deaths in March that were not recorded until April. For this reason, the numbers of deaths listed in the monthly files of the death register do not correspond to consolidated death statistics per period, such as the figures published by the Insee since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in France, broken down by département. Access Until 2017, access to the central death register was available only to certain commercial genealogy services, which Insee charged about 7,000 euros per year. Access subsequently became free of charge, but remained restricted to authorized companies bound by a licensing agreement with Insee. However, on 17 May 2019, the French state's commission in charge of questions related to freedom of information and access to official data, CADA (Commission d'accès aux documents administratifs), decided at the request of a genealogical association that the central death register must immediately be made publicly accessible. The commission argued that the register was a set of administrative documents not containing any personal data in need of protection, since the persons concerned were not alive anymore. This

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erd%C5%91s%20on%20Graphs
Erdős on Graphs: His Legacy of Unsolved Problems is a book on unsolved problems in mathematics collected by Paul Erdős in the area of graph theory. It was written by Fan Chung and Ronald Graham, based on a 1997 survey paper by Chung, and published in 1998 by A K Peters. A softcover edition with some updates and corrections followed in 1999. Topics The book has eight chapters, the first being a short introduction. Its main content are six chapters of unsolved problems, grouped by subtopic. Chapters two and three are on Ramsey theory and extremal graph theory. The fourth covers topics in graph coloring, packing problems, and covering problems. The fifth concerns graph enumeration and random graphs, the sixth generalizes from graphs to hypergraphs, and the seventh concerns infinite graphs. The book concludes with a chapter of stories about Erdős from one of his oldest friends, Andrew Vázsonyi. Each chapter begins with a survey of the history and major results in the subtopic of graph theory that it covers; Erdős himself figures prominently in the history of several of these subtopics. The individual history, motivation, known progress, and bibliographic references for each problem are included, along with (in some cases) prizes for a solution originally offered by Erdős and maintained by Chung and Graham. Audience and reception One target audience for the book is researchers in graph theory, for whom these problems may provide material for much future research. They may also provide an inspiration for students of mathematics, and reviewer Arthur Hobbs suggests that the book could even be used as the basis for a graduate course. Additionally, reviewers Robert Beezer and W. T. Tutte suggest that the book may be of interests to mathematicians in other areas, and to historians of mathematics, for the insight it provides into Erdős's life and work. Ralph Faudree writes that the book is suitable both as reference material and for browsing. Tutte notes, for those not familiar with the topic, that in mathematics, a well-posed and unsolved problem can itself be a significant contribution, a success rather than a failure. In a similar vein of thought, Faudree adds that the book provides "an appropriate tribute" to Erdős and his history of both formulating and solving problems.

In mathematics, specifically in functional analysis and order theory, an ordered topological vector space, also called an ordered TVS, is a topological vector space (TVS) X that has a partial order ≤ making it into an ordered vector space whose positive cone is a closed subset of X. Ordered TVS have important applications in spectral theory. Normal cone If C is a cone in a TVS X then C is normal if , where is the neighborhood filter at the origin, , and is the C-saturated hull of a subset U of X. If C is a cone in a TVS X (over the real or complex numbers), then the following are equivalent: C is a normal cone. For every filter in X, if then . There exists a neighborhood base in X such that implies . and if X is a vector space over the reals then also: There exists a neighborhood base at the origin consisting of convex, balanced, C-saturated sets. There exists a generating family of semi-norms on X such that for all and . If the topology on X is locally convex then the closure of a normal cone is a normal cone. Properties If C is a normal cone in X and B is a bounded subset of X then is bounded; in particular, every interval is bounded. If X is Hausdorff then every normal cone in X is a proper cone. Properties Let X be an ordered vector space over the reals that is finite-dimensional. Then the order of X is Archimedean if and only if the positive cone of X is closed for the unique topology under which X is a Hausdorff TVS. Let X be an ordered vector space over the reals with positive cone C. Then the following are equivalent: the order of X is regular. C is sequentially closed for some Hausdorff locally convex TVS topology on X and distinguishes points in X the order of X is Archimedean and C is normal for some Hausdorff locally convex TVS topology on X.

In mathematics, specifically in order theory and functional analysis, the order topology of an ordered vector space is the finest locally convex topological vector space (TVS) topology on for which every order interval is bounded, where an order interval in is a set of the form where and belong to The order topology is an important topology that is used frequently in the theory of ordered topological vector spaces because the topology stems directly from the algebraic and order theoretic properties of rather than from some topology that starts out having. This allows for establishing intimate connections between this topology and the algebraic and order theoretic properties of For many ordered topological vector spaces that occur in analysis, their topologies are identical to the order topology. Definitions The family of all locally convex topologies on for which every order interval is bounded is non-empty (since it contains the coarsest possible topology on ) and the order topology is the upper bound of this family. A subset of is a neighborhood of the origin in the order topology if and only if it is convex and absorbs every order interval in A neighborhood of the origin in the order topology is necessarily an absorbing set because for all For every let and endow with its order topology (which makes it into a normable space).

If is a collection of subsets of and if is a subset of then is a fundamental subfamily of if every is contained as a subset of some element of If is a family of subsets of a TVS then a cone in is called a -cone if is a fundamental subfamily of and is a strict -cone if is a fundamental subfamily of Let denote the family of all bounded subsets of If is a cone in a TVS (over the real or complex numbers), then the following are equivalent: is a normal cone. For every filter in if then <li> There exists a neighborhood base in such that implies and if is a vector space over the reals then we may add to this list: There exists a neighborhood base at the origin consisting of convex, balanced, -saturated sets. There exists a generating family of semi-norms on such that for all and and if is a locally convex space and if the dual cone of is denoted by then we may add to this list: For any equicontinuous subset there exists an equicontiuous such that The topology of is the topology of uniform convergence on the equicontinuous subsets of and if is an infrabarreled locally convex space and if is the family of all strongly bounded subsets of then we may add to this list: The topology of is the topology of uniform convergence on strongly bounded subsets of is a -cone in this means that the family is a fundamental subfamily of is a strict -cone in this means that the family is a fundamental subfamily of and if is an ordered locally convex TVS over the reals whose positive cone is then we may add to this list: <li>there exists a Hausdorff locally compact topological space such that is isomorphic (as an ordered TVS) with a subspace of where is the space of all real-valued continuous functions on under the topology of compact convergence.

In mathematics, specifically in order theory and functional analysis, a band in a vector lattice is a subspace of that is solid and such that for all such that exists in we have The smallest band containing a subset of is called the band generated by in A band generated by a singleton set is called a principal band. Examples For any subset of a vector lattice the set of all elements of disjoint from is a band in If () is the usual space of real valued functions used to define Lp spaces then is countably order complete (that is, each subset that is bounded above has a supremum) but in general is not order complete. If is the vector subspace of all -null functions then is a solid subset of that is a band. Properties The intersection of an arbitrary family of bands in a vector lattice is a band in See also References Functional analysis
