Strong operator topologyIn functional analysis, a branch of mathematics, the strong operator topology, often abbreviated SOT, is the locally convex topology on the set of bounded operators on a Hilbert space H induced by the seminorms of the form , as x varies in H. Equivalently, it is the coarsest topology such that, for each fixed x in H, the evaluation map (taking values in H) is continuous in T. The equivalence of these two definitions can be seen by observing that a subbase for both topologies is given by the sets (where T0 is any bounded operator on H, x is any vector and ε is any positive real number).
IngénierieL'ingénierie est l'ensemble des fonctions qui mènent de la conception et des études, de l'achat et du contrôle de fabrication des équipements, à la construction et à la mise en service d'une installation technique ou industrielle. Par extension, le terme est aussi souvent utilisé dans d'autres domaines : on parle par exemple d'ingénierie informatique ou d'ingénierie financière.
Loose couplingIn computing and systems design, a loosely coupled system is one in which components are weakly associated (have breakable relationships) with each other, and thus changes in one component least affect existence or performance of another component. in which each of its components has, or makes use of, little or no knowledge of the definitions of other separate components. Subareas include the coupling of classes, interfaces, data, and services. Loose coupling is the opposite of tight coupling.
Courbe convexeIn geometry, a convex curve is a plane curve that has a supporting line through each of its points. There are many other equivalent definitions of these curves, going back to Archimedes. Examples of convex curves include the convex polygons, the boundaries of convex sets, and the graphs of convex functions. Important subclasses of convex curves include the closed convex curves (the boundaries of bounded convex sets), the smooth curves that are convex, and the strictly convex curves, which have the additional property that each supporting line passes through a unique point of the curve.
Longue droiteLa longue droite est un espace topologique analogue à la droite réelle, « en beaucoup plus long ». En tant qu'ensemble ordonné, la longue droite, L, est le produit lexicographique du premier ordinal non dénombrable ω1 par l'ensemble des réels positifs ou nuls. En tant qu'espace topologique, c'est cet ensemble (totalement) ordonné muni de la topologie de l'ordre (les intervalles ouverts forment une base de la topologie). Cet espace topologique est une variété topologique à bord non séparable.
Donaldson's theoremIn mathematics, and especially differential topology and gauge theory, Donaldson's theorem states that a definite intersection form of a compact, oriented, smooth manifold of dimension 4 is diagonalisable. If the intersection form is positive (negative) definite, it can be diagonalized to the identity matrix (negative identity matrix) over the . The original version of the theorem required the manifold to be simply connected, but it was later improved to apply to 4-manifolds with any fundamental group.
