The mathematician J. J. Sylvester was known for his ability to coin new names and new notation for mathematical objects,[1] not based on his own name. Nevertheless, many objects and results in mathematics have come to be named after him:[2]

  • The Sylvester–Gallai theorem, on the existence of a line with only two of n given points.[3]
    • Sylvester–Gallai configuration, a set of points and lines without any two-point lines
    • Sylvester matroid, a matroid without any two-point lines.[4]
  • Sylvester's determinant identity, stating that det(I + AB) = det(I + BA), for matrices A, B.
  • Sylvester's matrix theorem, a.k.a. Sylvester's formula, for a matrix function in terms of eigenvalues.
  • Sylvester's theorem on the product of k consecutive integers > k, that generalizes Bertrand's postulate.
  • Sylvester's law of inertia a.k.a. Sylvester's rigidity theorem, about the signature of a quadratic form.
  • Sylvester's identity about determinants of submatrices[5]
  • Sylvester's criterion, a characterization of positive-definite Hermitian matrices.
  • Sylvester domain
  • The Sylvester matrix for two polynomials.
  • Sylvester's sequence, where each term is the product of previous terms plus one.
  • Sylvester cyclotomic numbers.
  • The Sylvester equation, AX + XB = C where A,B,C are given matrices and X is an unknown matrix.
  • Sylvester's "four point problem" of geometric probability.
  • The Sylvester expansion or Fibonacci–Sylvester expansion of a rational number, a representation as a sum of unit fractions found by a greedy algorithm.
  • Sylvester’s rank inequality rank(A) + rank(B) − n ≤ rank(AB) on the rank of the product of an m × n matrix A and an n × p matrix B.
  • Sylver coinage, a number-theoretic game[6]

Other things named after Sylvester

  • Sylvester (crater), an impact crater on the moon
  • Sylvester Medal, given by the Royal Society for the encouragement of mathematical research[7]
  • Sylvester (javascript library), a vector, matrix and geometry library for JavaScript
