Sep 15, 2016 at 15:52 comment added Alan Horwitz Apparently the definition is given in a paper by J. Mercer from 1908, but I haven't been able to locate that paper yet. I will probably just use the terminology since it does not appear much at all in a Google search.
Sep 15, 2016 at 2:48 comment added Alan Horwitz I haven't actually looked at the paper yet except for the part you provided the link to. I was really wondering where else it might have been used and/or defined ?
Sep 15, 2016 at 0:41 comment added Igor Rivin @RobertIsrael I assume this is the paper: books.google.com/…
Sep 14, 2016 at 20:18 comment added Robert Israel Does that Transactions paper not define the term, or reference some other paper where it is defined?
