Local rigidity theorems in the theory of discrete subgroups of Lie groups are results which show that small deformations of certain such subgroups are always trivial. It is different from Mostow rigidity and weaker than superrigidity.
Local time is the time observed in a specific locality. There is no canonical definition. Originally it was mean solar time, but since the introduction of time zones it is...
In numerical analysis, the local linearization method is a general strategy for designing numerical integrators for differential equations based on a local linearization of the given equation on consecutive time...
In algebraic number theory, through completion, the study of ramification of a prime ideal can often be reduced to the case of local fields where a more detailed analysis can...
Local Area Transport is a non-routable networking technology developed by Digital Equipment Corporation to provide connection between the DECserver terminal servers and Digital's VAX and Alpha and MIPS host computers...
Local feature size refers to several related concepts in computer graphics and computational geometry for measuring the size of a geometric object near a particular point.
Every Chicago public school has a Local School Council which consists of parents, community members, teachers, and the principal of the school. Members of the council are elected except in...
In mathematics, a rigid collection C of mathematical objects is one in which every c ∈ C is uniquely determined by less information about c than one would expect. The above statement...
While compass surveying, the magnetic needle is sometimes disturbed from its normal position under the influence of external attractive forces. Such a disturbing influence is called as local attraction. The...
