Among all working mathematicians at the turn of the millennium who have a finite Erdős number, the numbers range up to 15, the median is 5, and the mean is 4.65 almost everyone with a finite Erdős number has a number less than 8.

It can be interpreted as taking multiple paths of computation simultaneously through a finite number of states.

Because of the restriction that the number of possible states in a finite state machine is finite, we can see that to find a language that is not regular, we must construct a language that would require an infinite number of states.

For a non relativistic system consisting of a finite number of distinguishable particles, the component systems are the individual particles.

The entire procedure is a finite number of steps, since at some point the algorithm will be required for n 1.

The earliest person known to have a finite Erdős number is either Richard Dedekind (born 1831, Erdős number 7) or Ferdinand Georg Frobenius (born 1849, Erdős number 3), depending on the standard of publication eligibility.

Oil is a finite resource.

Mathematically speaking, the simplification reduces the state space of the system to a finite dimension, and the partial differential equations (PDEs) of the continuous (infinite dimensional) time and space model of the physical system into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with a finite number of parameters.

For example, formula_1is a finite set with five elements.

Meanwhile, all of them will be competing for a finite number of customers, and those companies that make progress will then have to compete for scarcer scale up capital.

For many people, sustainability is associated with finite natural resources and the environment.

Less than half of the sphere can be projected onto a finite map.

It follows that it must be possible to give a theoretical semantics for any natural language which could give the meanings of an infinite number of sentences on the basis of a finite system of axioms.

In set theory, an infinite set is a set that is not a finite set.

For the West, especially the US, every problem should have a solution within a finite period of time.

Clearly, the set of even numbers is infinitely large there is no requirement that a set be finite.

In the case of Lampropeltis catalinensis , for example, only a single specimen exists, so classification is not necessarily finite.

It seems that older historic figures such as Leonhard Euler (born 1707) do not (yet) have finite Erdős numbers.

Vacancy management and filling vacant posts in a timely manner are not finite activities they require constant analysis and action.

In mathematics, an information source is a sequence of random variables ranging over a finite alphabet Γ, having a stationary distribution.

A set is recursive if and only if it is either the range of an increasing total recursive function or finite.

Grant supported subsidies would remain in place for a finite period, and donors would gradually phase them out as aid programs expire.

Transfinite numbers are numbers that are infinite in the sense that they are larger than all finite numbers, yet not necessarily absolutely infinite.

A word on an alphabet is a finite sequence of symbols from the alphabet the same symbol may be used more than once.

George Glauberman (born March 3, 1941, New York City) is a mathematician at the University of Chicago who works on finite simple groups.

Similarly, collaboration with Gustavus Simmons opened the door forErdős numbers within the cryptographic research community, and many linguists have finite Erdős numbers, many due to chains of collaboration with such notable scholars as Noam Chomsky (Erdős number 4), William Labov (3), Mark Liberman (3), Geoffrey Pullum (3), or Ivan Sag (4).

Space may be finite or infinite, but because the universe is accelerating, there are parts of it we cannot see and never will see.

Also, in general, a push down automaton can behave just like a finite state machine, so it can decide any language which is regular.

Furthermore, this procedure has to be encoded in the finite alphabet used by the computational model, so there are only countably many computable functions.

Some self anointed seers portray the problem as being one of finite natural resources, with the world running out of critical commodities at an alarming rate.

Degrowth therefore sees sustainable development as an oxymoron, as any development based on growth in a finite and environmentally stressed world is seen as inherently unsustainable.

In sum, he proposed that it must be possible to distinguish a finite number of distinct grammatical features of a language, and for each of them explain its workings in such a way as to generate trivial (obviously correct) statements of the truth conditions of all the (infinitely many) sentences making use of that feature.

First, the gold standard s central premise was a finite quantity of gold in the world more of it cannot be created or discovered, at least not quickly.

For instance, due to the existence of a fixed and finite speed of light there will always be more latency on accessing resources distant from the user.

Even though it has delivered many benefits, it is based on a crazy idea the crazy idea being that we can have infinite growth on a finite planet.

Although the procedure may use only a finite amount of storage space during a successful computation, there is no bound on the amount of space that is used.

Recently, the Copenhagen Consensus project gathered some of the world s leading economists to decide how to do the most good for the planet in a world of finite resources.
