... 3. The restriction of f to A ⊆ S1 , f|A = {(x, y) ∈ f | x ∈ A} 4. The inverse f −1 : S2 → S1 is {(y, x) | (x, y) ∈ f } 5. f : S1 → S1 is called a function on S1 6. If x ∈ Df then f is defined at x; otherwise f is undefined at x; 7. f is a total function if Df = S1 . 8. f is a partial function if Df ...

generating large primes using combinations of irrational numbers
... Modern day cryptology relies heavily on the use of public keys K which are the products of two large primes p and q. The primes are typically about 100 digits in length so that the public key constructed from them becomes almost impossible to break in finite time with even the fastest modern day sup ...

... Limitwise monotonic functions were introduced by N. G. Khisamiev [6, 7, 8] and have found a number of applications in computable model theory. In particular, Khoussainov, Nies, and Shore [9] used them to show that (ω + 1) \ {0} is realized as a spectrum. We now introduce a related notion. Let [ω]<ω ...

Three Connections to Continued Fractions

In this paper, we explore three puzzles and see how they are related to continued fractions, an area of mathematics with a distinguished history within the world of number theory. Puzzle 1: A ...

Infinity
Infinity (symbol: ∞) is an abstract concept describing something without any limit and is relevant in a number of fields, predominantly mathematics and physics.In mathematics, ""infinity"" is often treated as if it were a number (i.e., it counts or measures things: ""an infinite number of terms"") but it is not the same sort of number as natural or real numbers. In number systems incorporating infinitesimals, the reciprocal of an infinitesimal is an infinite number, i.e., a number greater than any real number; see 1/∞.Georg Cantor formalized many ideas related to infinity and infinite sets during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In the theory he developed, there are infinite sets of different sizes (called cardinalities). For example, the set of integers is countably infinite, while the infinite set of real numbers is uncountable.
