Gravitational lensing formalism

While gravitational lensing preserves surface brightness, as dictated by Liouville's theorem, lensing does change the apparent solid angle of a source.

For maximal planar graphs, in which every face is a triangle, a greedy planar embedding can be found by applying the Knaster–Kuratowski–Mazurkiewicz lemma to a weighted version of a straight-line embedding algorithm of Schnyder.

Henstock–Kurzweil integral

Cousin's theorem states that for every gauge \delta, such a \delta-fine partition P does exist, so this condition cannot be satisfied vacuously.

This result may also be known as the Kolmogorov theorem; see Kolmogorov's theorem for disambiguation.

Komura

Kōmura's theorem, result on the differentiability of absolutely continuous Banach space-valued functions

Liouville number

The following lemma is usually known as Liouville's theorem (on diophantine approximation), there being several results known as Liouville's theorem.

Montel's theorem

For example, the first version of Montel's theorem stated above is the analog of Liouville's theorem, while the second version corresponds to Picard's theorem.

Morley's theorem

Morley's categoricity theorem, a theorem related to model theory, discovered by Michael D. Morley

Pfaffian function

In the 1990s, Alex Wilkie showed that one has the same result if instead of adding every analytic function, one just adds the exponential function to R to get the ordered real field with exponentiation, Rexp, a result known as Wilkie's theorem.

Poynting

Poynting's theorem on conservation of energy in electromagnetic field

Rado graph

Then, for any sets U and V, by the Chinese remainder theorem, the numbers that are quadratic resides modulo every prime in U and nonresidues modulo every prime in V form a periodic sequence, so by Dirichlet's theorem on primes in arithmetic progressions this number-theoretic graph has the extension property.

The Reflections contain a number of principles such as the Carnot cycle, the Carnot heat engine, Carnot's theorem, thermodynamic efficiency.

Representability

Brauer's theorem on the representability of zero by forms over certain fields in sufficiently many variables

Riemann–Roch theorem

The theorem for compact Riemann surfaces can be deduced from the algebraic version using Chow's theorem and the GAGA principle: in fact, every compact Riemann surface is defined by algebraic equations in some complex projective space.

In computational complexity theory, Savitch's theorem, proved by Walter Savitch in 1970, gives a relationship between deterministic and non-deterministic space complexity.

Steve Gleason

In 2013 Gleason was given the opportunity to interview American rock band Pearl Jam regarding their tenth studio album, Lightning Bolt.

Superslow process

Stagnation zones theorems are closely related to pre-Liouville's theorems about evaluation of solutions fluctuation, which direct consequences are the different versions of the classic Liouville theorem about conversion of the entire doubly periodic function into the identical constant.

An earlier version of the result is already mentioned in 1671 by James Gregory.

The Sportswriters on TV

Bill Jauss, Bill Gleason, Ben Bentley, Joe Mooshill, Lester Munson, and Rick Telander were the usual writers discussing the sports issues of the day, and the show was a forerunner of many of the sportswriter TV shows that are much more common now (The Sports Reporters, Pardon the Interruption, Around the Horn, etc.).

Thévenin's theorem

The theorem was independently derived in 1853 by the German scientist Hermann von Helmholtz and in 1883 by Léon Charles Thévenin (1857–1926), an electrical engineer with France's national Postes et Télégraphes telecommunications organization.

The prototype of such results is Turán's theorem, where there is one forbidden subgraph: a complete graph with k vertices (k is fixed).
