  CAUCHY, A.L.(1789-1857)
Cauchy was born in Paris in 1789 and recceived his early education from his father.
His name is net by the student of calculus in the so-called Cauchy root test and Cauchy ratio test for convergence or divergence of a series of positive terms, and and in the Cauchy ratio test of two given series.
Cauchy's work exhibits great attention to rigor, and as such was largely reaponsible for inspiring other mathematicians to attempt the banishment of blind formal manipulation and of intuitive proofs from analysis.

 Net (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In topology and related areas of mathematics a net or Moore-Smith sequence is a generalization of a sequence, intended to unify the various notions of limit and generalize them to arbitrary topological spaces.
Nets generalize this concept by weakening the order relation on the index set to that of a directed set.
This may be useful to guide the intuition since the notion of limit of a net is very similar to that of limit of a sequence.

Cauchy became a military engineer and in 1810 went to Cherbourg to work on the harbours and fortifications for Napoleon's English invasion fleet.
Cauchy returned to Paris in 1813, and Lagrange and Laplace persuaded him to devote himself entirely to mathematics.
Cauchy made substantial contributions to the theory of numbers and wrote three important papers on error theory.

 Cauchy sequence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In constructive mathematics, Cauchy sequences often must be given with a modulus of Cauchy convergence to be useful.
The converse (that every Cauchy sequence has a modulus) follows from the well-ordering property of the natural numbers (let α(k) be the smallest possible N in the definition of Cauchy sequence, taking r to be 1 / k).
Any Cauchy sequence with a modulus of Cauchy convergence is equivalent (in the sense used to form the completion of a metric space) to a regular Cauchy sequence; this can be proved without using any form of the axiom of choice.

 Navier-Stokes Equations: Cauchy's Integral and the Distortion of Vorticity   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Equation (Vi2) is known as Cauchy's integral of the vorticity transport equation and provides us with an exact, explicit solution for the variation of the vorticity of a material blob.
As mentioned in the introduction to our discussion of vorticity, one of the motivations for examining vorticity dynamics is to determine the conditions under which it vanishes.
Later Cauchy (1815) provided the exact integral (Vi2a) for the case of constant density motions from which the result at the left follows immediately.

 Cauchy sequence - Article from FactBug.org - the fast Wikipedia mirror site
In mathematical analysis, a Cauchy sequence, named after Augustin Cauchy, is a sequence whose elements become close as the sequence progresses.
Cauchy sequences require the notion of distance so they can only be defined in a metric space.
They are of interest because in a complete space, all such sequences converge to a limit, and one can test for "Cauchiness" without knowing the value of the limit (if it exists), in contrast to the definition of convergence.

 Analytic Functions, The Magnus Effect, and Wings
From examining the streamlines around the cylinder, it might seem surprising that any net lift is produced, because the air upstream of the cylinder is pulled upward along mirror images of the downward paths of air downstream of the cylinder.
Well, in fact there is a net downward change in the momentum of the air, which we can see by considering a circular "control volume" of radius R surrounding the cylinder.
Of course, this assumes the circulation of the flow extends indefinitely, whereas in fact the circulation flow breaks down at sufficient distances, and the organized pressure gradients are gradually dissipated through exchanges of momentum between neighboring parts of the fluid.

 Cauchy distribution   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
As a probability distribution, it is known as the Cauchy distribution while among physicists it is known as the Lorentz distribution or the Breit-Wigner distribution.
The Cauchy distribution is often cited as an example of a distribution which has no mean, variance or higher moments defined, although its mode and median are well defined and are both equal to x
The Cauchy distribution is an infinitely divisible probability distribution.

Cauchy's Residue Theorem is helpful to compute difficult definite integrals.
Therefore, we'll choose an example of a sequence in the the field of rationals (a notoriously incomplete space, as was first glimpsed by a disciple of Pythagoras about 2500 years ago).
However, it is more or less universally understood that the Cauchy principal value is used whenever needed, and some authors don't bother to insist on this with special typography.

The posterior moments of parameters specifying distributions are minimum mean square error Bayesian estimators for the corresponding moments of those parameters, and as such are ubiquitous in the Bayesian approach to statistical inference of distributions.
The cauchy distribution is most notable for its wide tails, decided absence of high-order moments, and non-existence of less-than-data dimension sufficient statistics.
In this paper the posterior moments of the position parameter of the Cauchy distribution are found in closed form.

The notion of a Cauchy sequence can be extended with no difficulty to any uniform space (but not just a topological space), getting what is called a Cauchy filter; any convergent filter on a uniform space is a Cauchy filter, and if the converse holds then we say that the uniform space is complete.

Note that at –3, for example, the probability density of the Cauchy distribution is g(-3) =.0318, while for the normal distribution, the value is f(-3) =.0044.
Similarly, for the Cauchy distribution the standard deviation (or the variance, which is the square of the standard deviation) doesn’t exist.

 Building convex polytopes
Equivalently, a polyhedral metric is obtained by gluing together edges of a simple polygon together in equal­length pairs, so that the resulting 2­complex complex is homeomorphic to a sphere; the metric is convex if the sum of the angles incident to each vertex is at most 2pi.
It is open whether every polytope can be unfolded into a simple net, that is, one that does not overlap itself, by cutting along edges; however, even non­simple nets can be used to define polyhedral metrics.
As with Cauchy's Rigidity Theorem, there are numerical approximation algorithms, but I'm looking for a purely combinatorial algorithm.

 Hausdorff space   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Limits of sequences, nets, and filters (when they exist) are unique in Hausdorff spaces.
Similarly, a space is preregular iff all of the limits of a given net (or filter) are topologically indistinguishable.
Specifically, a space is complete iff every Cauchy net has at least one limit, while a space is Hausdorff iff every Cauchy net has at most one limit (since only Cauchy nets can have limits in the first place).

 Navier-Stokes Equations: Cauchy's Hypothesis and Theorem   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
The key to further simplifications is Cauchy's Hypothesis and Theorem which permit us to replace t and Q by the stress tensor T and the heat flux vector q, respectively.
Result (5) is known as Cauchy's Theorem for the existence of the stress tensor and the heat flux vector.
The ability to represent the force and heat flow at a surface independently of the orientation of the surface will permit us to write our governing equations in a local form ultimately leading to a relatively simple set of governing equations.

 [No title]
Next, it is shown that over all closed bounded intervals in any monotone incomplete ordered field, there are continuous not uniformly continuous unbounded functions whose ranges are not closed, and continuous 1-1 functions which map every interior point to an interior point (of the image) but are not open.
These are achieved using appropriate nets cofinal in gaps or coinitial in their complements.
In our third main theorem, an ordered field is constructed which has parametrically definable regular gaps but no $\emptyset$-definable divergent Cauchy functions (while we show that, in either of the two cases where parameters are or are not allowed, any definable divergent Cauchy function gives rise to a definable regular gap).

 ORDINAL REAL NUMBERS 1
This is the third paper of  a series of five papers that have as goal the  definition of topological complete linearly ordered fields (continuous numbers)  that include the real numbers and are obtained from the ordinal numbers in a method analogous to the way that  Cauchy derived the real numbers from the natural numbers.
It is  actually  the  same  ideas  that  lead  to  the   process   of  construction of the real numbers from the natural numbers through fundamental (Cauchy) sequenses.
The  characteristic of the (strong) Cauchy completion of a linearly ordered field F,is the same with that of the field F. Proof.
