irreducible chain
1Irreducible (mathematics) — In mathematics, the term irreducible is used in several ways. * In abstract algebra, irreducible can be an abbreviation for irreducible element; for example an irreducible polynomial. * In representation theory, an irreducible representation is a …
2Markov chain — A simple two state Markov chain. A Markov chain, named for Andrey Markov, is a mathematical system that undergoes transitions from one state to another, between a finite or countable number of possible states. It is a random process characterized …
3Subdirect irreducible — In algebra, a subdirect irreducible is an algebra that cannot be factored as a subdirect product of simpler algebras. Subdirect irreducibles play a somewhat analogous role in algebra to primes in number theory. TOC =Definition=In algebra, a… …
4Regular chain — In computer algebra, a regular chain is a particular kind of triangular set in a multivariate polynomial ring over a field. It enhances the notion of characteristic set. Introduction Given a linear system, one can convert it to a triangular… …
5Ascending chain condition on principal ideals — In abstract algebra, the ascending chain condition can be applied to the posets of principal left, principal right, or principal two sided ideals of a ring, partially ordered by inclusion. The ascending ascending chain condition on principal… …
6Markov chain mixing time — In probability theory, the mixing time of a Markov chain is the time until the Markov chain is close to its steady state distribution. More precisely, a fundamental result about Markov chains is that a finite state irreducible aperiodic chain has …
7Perron–Frobenius theorem — In linear algebra, the Perron–Frobenius theorem, proved by Oskar Perron (1907) and Georg Frobenius (1912), asserts that a real square matrix with positive entries has a unique largest real eigenvalue and that the corresponding… …
8evolution — evolutional, adj. evolutionally, adv. /ev euh looh sheuhn/ or, esp. Brit., /ee veuh /, n. 1. any process of formation or growth; development: the evolution of a language; the evolution of the airplane. 2. a product of such development; something… …
9Glossary of ring theory — Ring theory is the branch of mathematics in which rings are studied: that is, structures supporting both an addition and a multiplication operation. This is a glossary of some terms of the subject. Contents 1 Definition of a ring 2 Types of… …
10Unique factorization domain — In mathematics, a unique factorization domain (UFD) is, roughly speaking, a commutative ring in which every element, with special exceptions, can be uniquely written as a product of prime elements, analogous to the fundamental theorem of… …
