... A thrackle is a graph drawn in the plane so that the edges are represented by simple curves, any pair of which either meet at a common vertex or cross precisely once. A graph is thrackleable if it can be drawn as a thrackle. Conjecture 4.7. In every thrackle, the number of edges is at most equal to ...

In other words, the incremental surface element is a vector quantity. The only unique direction which may be associated with S is the direction of the normal ...

Noether's theorem

Noether's (first) theorem states that every differentiable symmetry of the action of a physical system has a corresponding conservation law. The theorem was proven by German mathematician Emmy Noether in 1915 and published in 1918. The action of a physical system is the integral over time of a Lagrangian function (which may or may not be an integral over space of a Lagrangian density function), from which the system's behavior can be determined by the principle of least action.Noether's theorem has become a fundamental tool of modern theoretical physics and the calculus of variations. A generalization of the seminal formulations on constants of motion in Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics (developed in 1788 and 1833, respectively), it does not apply to systems that cannot be modeled with a Lagrangian alone (e.g. systems with a Rayleigh dissipation function). In particular, dissipative systems with continuous symmetries need not have a corresponding conservation law.
