Uncle Tom's Cabin
I wanted to thank you for your excellent edits under the Tom Shows section of Uncle Tom's Cabin. It occurred to me recently that with a little polish this article could become a Featured Article candidate. To move the article toward this, I was going to expand the historic impact section and add in line footnotes a la Footnote3. If you get a chance, do you think you could add the footnotes with page numbers to the Tom Shows section (I understand that most of the references are from Lotts book). If you don't have the time, I understand. Best, and thanks again. --Alabamaboy 13:19, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

Misleading Summaries?
How were my summaries misleading? I clearly labeled my last edit "added vandalism." How is that misleading?

Punk
Hi Jmabal. I was a teenager in 1976, and the art attacks were VERY influential in the south of england and in London at the time. Thats why I added the art attacks to the page. I saw the slits, clash, ramones stranglers etc at around this time. (apparently User:Robin48gx)

Yeah Jmabal, I think they really should be in this first wave of punk along with the Lurkers, Screwdriver and Slaughter and the Dogs. For historical accuracy really.

Dacian language
Hope I explained something. The article needs more references, and some way of organizing the differing theories into a neat text has to be found. My habit of changing my posts on Talk Pages over time destroys the historical flow, but it's something I just do in many cases where a previous statement seemed to drift off topic or was inaccurate or not as accurate as it should be. I guess I'll try to refrain unless I find it necessary to revise comments. Peace, Decius 06:16, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

I might as well explain some of the motivation behind my edits: I don't believe that any one of those three theories mentioned in the article are correct, not even the Albanian one. For example, the Dacian word for ten, as extracted from Dekebalos, was Deke- (basically), from PIE *dekm-, 'ten'. The Albanian word for ten is dhjetë (also from PIE *dekm-). So, I'm making sure the article stays distant from accepting any of these theories being offered. Decius 06:53, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

I'm planning on criticizing each one of those theories in the article, but just about all criticisms have to come from the references. The article to me is basically a pile of bullshit that I am impeded from editing properly due to lack of references, to be quite frank. Maybe you can offer some suggestions on how to deal with it. Decius 07:26, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

indef blocking
Just wanted to let you know if you didn't already know about it that you can use on the person's user and/or user talk page as just a large notice that the user has been blocked by an administrator and/or  for users who have been blocked for violation of the username policies, keep up the good work dealing with these innapropriate names.

I've reverted back to my cleanup, because It was a good job, so cool your attitude, stalker. I changed the offending ch-ch-ch- so you can cool it.Steve espinola 05:37, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
 * No dude...I'm having to go through all the archived cleanup months reverting your frivioulous detagging and other, more obfuscious, vandalism page by page by page. I'll give you one thing:  You probably spent about as much time as me in the archived cleanup pages :-/ Thanks for making me redouble my efforts!

 * Btw. Huge thanks, Jmabel, for helping revert this mess...I took care of Jacobins page for you :-) — HopeSeekr of xMule (Talk) 17:04, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Just in case it's not clear, the paragraph that begins "No dude..." is also written by User:HopeSeekr of xMule, not by me. I'm much too old to use the word "dude" this way. -- Jmabel | Talk 17:09, August 10, 2005 (UTC)

Hatshepsut/Huh?
Hi Joe -- yes, that was a typo: I had originally typed "public domain or free use", then tried to change what I wrote to "non-fair use".

But in response to your point about "most images related to something this ancient", this was something I was surprised to learn once I started looking into the matter: there just isn't a lot out there, either encumbered by licenses or free. For example, I was only able to find a total of two illustrations relating to the Battle of Chalons: a map drawn in the last 30 years, & a rather fanciful engraving of Attila the Hun riding his horse on the battle field. It doesn't help that there is much scholarly uncertainty over exactly where this battle was fought.

In my experience, on one hand the vast majority of books prior to WWII are not illustrated; of those that are, most pre-1920 photographs are too poor in quality to be worth the trouble of scanning, & until some point in the mid-1950s most archeological objects & structures were illustrated by hand drawings -- which I feel qualifies them as original creations & are exempt from this loophole. I am forced to conclude that this is one of those cases where the Mickey Mouse Copyright Act is hampering free knowledge. But if you can prove me wrong about how many free images there are out there to be collected, please do so; maybe I've just had lousy luck. -- llywrch 18:00, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, I didn't mean to imply that there were none, but that I found it very difficult to accumulate more than a small number on any one specific individual or event, beyond the usual well-known few (e.g. Augustus, Caesar, Constantine the Great, etc.) If you have some titles for these turn-of-the century history books, please share & I'll start looking.

 * And I have been attempting to help fix this problem myself. I have an old family Bible from the 1890s with an unusually useful Teacher's Guide in the back with 120 pages of illustrations; You can see what I've been able to scan & upload (about 1/3 of the material) over on commons . -- llywrch 23:21, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Your suggestion sounds good; email me when you find the time, & we can take it from there. (Sorry; I should have responded sooner, but I've been preoccupied with other things, including a trip to Eastern Washington to a family gathering.) -- llywrch 05:49, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

rules to write external links
Hi Joe, My name is Emanuele Lombardi, I'm new to wikipedia and I would like to ask you a question about the way it works.

A few days ago (Aug 4th) I added to the Wiki page "Electronic_voting" an external link to my site http://www.electronic-vote.org where I write my reasons against electronic vote.

I wrote the following description of the site "We, the people, should pretend to use ballot papers since electronic elections are out of any democratic control". You have changed it to "www.electronic-vote.org. Site apparently the work of Emanuele Lombardi, according to "

I'm not complaining about the change, but I would like to know which are the rules to follow when writing such things, just in case I'll edit some other Wiki pages in the future.

Thank you very much from Italy, Lele

Whitechapel
Hello Jmabel. Would you please check out Talk:Whitechapel? Thx. JDG 10:29, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

History of Seattle
There are several problems with the previous version:
 * 1) Sections such as Railroad Rivalry with Tacoma and The Klondike Gold Rush are part of the early history of Seattle, therefore they should be umbrellaed under "Early history of Seattle". Before, this was not the case—they were given their own level two headings which indicated they were outside the early history of Seattle. The "see main" blurbs under such headings further gave the illusion these were isolated sections, when in reality they were linking to the same main article. For instance, History of Seattle before 1900 was linked to three times, only under different headings. This previous layout is redundant and confusing.
 * 2) The information I stripped of such "see main" blurbs, previewing what was to come in that article, had little value in its previous presentation. The information in the hub article itself, History of Seattle, should be the preview of the main article, fleshed out in the brief summary paragraphs, not a few superficial taglines listed in one line. In its present state the article needs to work on this. For instance, "Relations with the natives" seems to be the largest section of History of Seattle before 1900, yet in History of Seattle it is summarized in maybe a sentence or two. On the other hand "The Klondike Gold Rush" has its own heading in History of Seattle, yet its respective section in History of Seattle before 1900 is quite small. If sections of History of Seattle concisely summarizes the important info of the main article being linked to, then the user will have an effective preview of what's to come, trumping a few words strung together next to the main article link.
 * 3) The seemain template is the standard way of linking to main articles on a hub/overview page like History of Seattle.

In short, the article needs improvement (i.e. what I outlined in #2). I think my changes are a first step in that direction, and therefore should not be reverted. -- jiyTalk 09:21, August 12, 2005 (UTC)

again about Electronic_voting
Hi Joe, thanks for the explanation about the external link label I wrote.

I simply meant to show the basic idea of the linked site just like the label of the following link:
 * Internet Voting vs. Large-Value e-Commerce — Why securing voting is not the same thing as securing financial transactions via the Internet (Bruce Schneier)

Anyway, do you think the following label is acceptable?
 * electronic vote & Democracy, A study about the relations between electronic vote and Democracy (Emanuele Lombardi)

Apart the label of the external link I would like to modify the following period of the Overview:

"By contrast, in a paperless system, voters must have faith in the accuracy of the counting software."

I would change it into:

"By contrast, in a paperless system, voters must have faith in the accuracy, honesty and security of the whole electoral apparatus (people, software and hardware) because without tangible proofs of electors’ will, no democratic control is possible over elections."

Do you think it is an acceptable modification? Would it be necessary to define "democratic control" in a new Wiki page?

Thank you very much from Italy,

The African Grove and racist vandalism
I've known of the African Grove theater company since, I suppose, the early '70s (I attended Howard University, and there's a theater there named after Ira Aldridge), but that's about it. I seem to also recall a play by, perhaps, August Wilson that dealt with the company and its trevails and its eventual destruction by a rival white theater owner. I'm pretty sure it was an August Wilson play, because he later -- or about the same time -- founded an institute or foundation named after the Grove in New York, or Philly, or Newark (somewhere). I don't know what happened to it, though. I haven't read the article yet -- I'm really pressed for time this week -- but I'll get to it. I'm glad you're on it.

And, no. There's really nothing that can be done about the intermittent vandalism. It's annoying, sometimes lewd and disgusting, but I'm not going to waste my time with it. (I thought I was done with the dumb white-boy gross-out pranks when I left high school, but, alas, "contributors" like Scatboy and the pink pr*ck exhibitionist have proven me wrong.) Wikipedia has proven itself utterly useless in such matters, even when the users are registered. (These vandals are just morons with too much time on their hands and precious few active brain cells.) But thanks for asking. Peace. :) deeceevoice 11:06, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Anti-war
From your user page and edit history I thought you might be interested in joining the new wikiproject; WikiProject Anti-war. As you no doubt know, anti-war movments and ideas have had a massive influence on world politics esspecially since the launch of the "war on terror" and the global reaction to it. Events like the Febuary 15th biggest ever global day of demo's are historic in and of themselves and well deserving of more attention then the currently recive on wikipedia. Also the project will aim to get rid of any redundent repeted information through unifiy the different anti-war pages. Some right-wingers as well as lefties have allready shown interest in the project so hopefully we can achive ballance and NPOV. Hope you chouse to become involved. --JK the unwise 15:30, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for joining. Don't worry about being to active. I actually think that wikiprojects are a good way to maximise what you can do even when you don't have much time as you can be pointed towards tasks without having to search for them yourself.

Pretty cool copy edit
Thanks for the review on Augustan drama. What's kind of interesting to me, though, is that certain tooth jarring edits made by some copy editors are now being undone by other editors, while I'm trying to have no preference (e.g. "trend-setting," which is what I wrote, was copy edited to "trendsetting," which is legitimate but unlovely, and then reversed by you to "trend-setting," which is my preference to start with). You're the first to do some serious sentence combining and clause trimming, and yours were perceptive and proper. Very cool. Thanks. (Now, if people would actually vote on it on FAC.)

Delete Criticism
In the discussion board on the Stalin article I posted a claim that Stalin may have been of Jewish ancestry. You responded by saying that other users might want to look at my contribution list because in some of my contributions I had made far fetched claims without offering any proof for them. I have now eliminated all of my contributions to Wikipedia except for my contributions to the discussion on the Stalin article and to the discussion on the Barry Goldwater article, so could you please delete your quote on the Stalin article discussion "I suggest that you may want to look at this user's contributions". I have already asked you in the discussion on the Stalin article to do this and you still have not done it. FDR  |    Talk 11:25 PM, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

Delete
I am still sorry for deleting your comment on the Stalin and I will not attempt to do this in the Barry Goldwater article.

reference cited in ssnp article
i found the reference cited in the ssnp article at the following address

and it does not state "and its ideology drew heavily on the European fascists of the period, especially Benito Mussolini. "

it is an article about a lebanese poet (adonis) and the only refernce to fascism in it is "The charismatic Sa'ada put forward quasi-fascistic arguments for the future destiny of a Greater Syria "

Dickens and Juba
Jmabel, sorry for my tardiness in reply. My source for the Dickens/Juba connection is unfortunately a book I had out of a public library I no longer have access to. I have it on my to-do list to stop at my current public library on the off chance they have it, but I haven't yet been able to make that trip (you may have noticed in other Talk statements that I am extremely ill). You can go ahead and remove the statement from the Master Juba article if you wish, and I will change it back if and when I get ahold of that book. JDG 03:18, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Age of Discovery
Thanks for the typo correction. As for the content, I believe it is correct. The meridian set by the Tordesilles treaty cuts the American continent more or less in half. (i don´t know the exact longitude). That's why the Portuguese got Brazil (which technically crosses the meridian anyway), and the Spanish the South and North American west coast, plus central America. The remaining area was the Pacific. This is the reason why the Spanish presence in Africa and Asia was so limited.--BBird 14:25, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

My question is mainly about whether "west coast" is correct, as against just "western part". I realize that the lines of ultimate settlement don't line up neatly with the treaty, but both Argentina and Venezuela are both on the east coast of South America, and many areas settled by the Spanish are hardly "coastal" (Bolivia, Ecuador). -- Jmabel | Talk 16:45, August 29, 2005 (UTC)

I think you are right -- western part is more accurate. I will ammend accordingly. thanks.--BBird 18:28, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Assistance with African American Literature needed
If you have a second, could you check out a discussion I'm involved in at Talk:African American literature. One editor has an issue with how African American literature is structured b/c the article describes Black literature while following the history and politics of African Americans. To him, bringing history and politics into a literature article is wrong b/c the article should totally focus on art, form, aesthetics. I've already pointed out that Black lit is tied in with the history and experiences of Black people in this country. I also showed that Literature of the United States, English literature, Tamil literature and so on follows the basic sociological and historical framework that this article uses. This editor has made very few edits to the English Wikipedia (he is German) and most people--through the FAC process and in comments now--have agreed that the article is currently set up very well. However, another user has suggested mediation and such, even though I have agreed with almost everything the other editor has suggested (with the exception of a total rewrite and restructuring of the article). I'm about to go crazy over this. I mean, this other editor has contributed nothing to the article except to say he hates it and now I'm expected to agree with everything he says? Any help is appreciated.--Alabamaboy 01:26, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Barnsley Interchange

Barnsley Interchange is a combined rail and bus station in the centre of Barnsley, South Yorkshire. It was first opened in 1850 as Barnsley Exchange railway station and is 16 mi north of Sheffield. It is on the Hallam and Penistone Lines, both operated by Northern Trains. On 20 May 2007, the new bus station and refurbished railway station were officially opened by Travel South Yorkshire, with the combined facility renamed to Barnsley Interchange.

Earlier history
The Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Wakefield, Huddersfield & Goole Railway was formed in 1846 with the aim of providing access to the South Yorkshire coalfield. It was to link the Manchester and Leeds Railway (M&LR) near Horbury, with the Sheffield and Rotherham Railway near Brightside, by way of Barnsley. Whilst the railway was still at the planning stage, it was split in two at Barnsley, the northern portion being leased to the M&LR and the southern to the South Yorkshire, Doncaster & Goole Railway (SYD&G). The northern section opened first, and Barnsley station was opened with the line on 1 January 1850. The route of the southern section was changed, and instead, is connected to the SYD&G line near Mexborough. This section opened on 1 July 1851, and Barnsley then became a through station, although the two sections of line were operated by different railways. On 1 July 1854, the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway (MS&LR) opened a line from Penistone to Barnsley.

Each of these railway companies went through various takeovers and amalgamations, until the early 20th century, when the station at Barnsley was co-owned by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (LYR, successor to the M&LR), and the Great Central Railway (GCR, successor to the MS&LR and SYD&G). At the 1923 grouping, the GCR became part of the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER), whilst the LYR formed part of the new London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS), as did the Midland Railway (MR). The LYR and MR each contributed one station in Barnsley to the LMS, and since the ex-MR station was already distinguished as Barnsley Court House, the LMS renamed the former LYR station to Barnsley Low Town on 2 June 1924. Just two months later, on 1 August 1924, it was again renamed, this time to Barnsley Exchange.

Barnsley Court House station closed on 19 April 1960, following the commissioning of a new chord line south of the town near Quarry Junction that linked the former SYR route down the Blackburn Valley with the ex-Midland Railway line from Sheffield Midland, allowing services on the latter route to serve the station (and continue northwards to Wakefield & Leeds). Subsequently, on 13 June 1960, Barnsley Exchange was renamed Barnsley.

South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive rebuilt the station in 2007 to improve interchange with bus services, and the redesign won a Civic Building award.

Facilities
The station is fully staffed throughout the day, with the booking office open from 06:00 to 19:30 Mondays to Saturdays and from 08:45 to 19:00 on Sundays. There are several self-service ticket machines provided for use outside these times and for collecting advance purchase tickets, located on the platform 2 side of the foot-bridge, and outside the ticket office. In the main building on platform 1, there is a waiting room and toilets. A separate waiting room (with vending machines for drinks and snacks) is located on platform 2, with a fully accessible footbridge (equipped with lifts) linking them; there is step-free access from the entrance and bus station to all platforms. Train running information is provided by automated announcements, digital display screens and timetable posters. There are a number of shops a short walk over the footbridge to the bus station, these include a newsagents, Lloyds Pharmacy, Coopland Bakery and a Subway restaurant.

In popular culture
In 2013 it was used as a filming location in Channel 4's cult drama series Utopia.

Rail services
Rail services operate frequently through Barnsley Interchange station. On the Hallam line during the day from Monday to Saturday, there are three trains per hour northbound to Leeds. Two are express services, calling only at Wakefield Kirkgate en route to Leeds whilst the third is an all-stations local that runs via Castleford. On Sundays, the service reduces to one express service and one stopping service to Leeds each hour. One northbound Sunday service from Sheffield to Leeds extends to Carlisle via the Settle & Carlisle line.

On the Penistone line, there is an hourly service northbound to Huddersfield, now provided seven days a week.

Southbound there are four trains per hour (2 fast and 2 stopping). Two of these services terminate at Sheffield whilst one fast train carries on to Nottingham and the other fast service runs through to Lincoln. The service drops to three per hour (one fast & two stopping) on Sundays.

In May 1999, Midland Mainline commenced a daily weekday service to London St Pancras. The service was withdrawn by East Midlands Trains on 5 September 2008.

Bus services
The new Barnsley Interchange was opened on 20 May 2007 by Secretary of State for Transport Douglas Alexander. The new building forms the entire new complex of Barnsley Interchange. Rail and bus users exit the interchange via the new car park or, for the town centre, the new entrance and exit is on Eldon Street. It has 24 bus stands.

The bus station features the latest in technology such as the South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive scheme of "Your Next Bus", tracking buses with GPS to check what time they are due to arrive and depart. Several shops occupy retail units within the interchange, including Lloyd's Pharmacy, GT News, Cowpuccino Espresso Bar, Cooplands and a Subway.

Work has since been completed on the link road, Schwäbisch Gmünd Way (formerly Interchange Way), which was renamed in honour of Barnsley's twin town in Germany. That enables buses to enter or leave the Interchange quickly, without having to use the busy level crossing at Jumble Lane.

Bullion coin

A bullion coin (also known as a specie) is a coin struck from highly refined precious metal (bullion) and kept as a store of value or an investment rather than used in day-to-day commerce. A bullion coin is distinguished by its weight (or mass) and fineness on the coin. Unlike rounds, bullion coins are minted by government mints and have a legal tender face value. Bullion coins can have fineness ranging from 91.9% (22 karat) to 99.99% purity (24 karat).

For the VAT exemption purposes the United Kingdom defines investment coins more specifically as coins that have been minted after 1800, have a purity of not less than 900 thousandths and are, or have been, legal tender in their country of origin. Under United States law, "coins" that fail the last of these requirements are not coins at all, and must be advertised as "rounds" instead.

Bullion coins may sell for a premium over the market price of the metal on the commodities exchanges. Reasons include their comparative small size and the costs associated with manufacture, storage and distribution. The amount of the premium varies depending on the coin's type and weight and the precious metal. The premium also is affected by prevailing demand. Depending on a number of factors, numismatic value may also have a direct influence on the price of a bullion coin.

The American Eagle and Canadian Maple Leaf series are the only coins available in gold, silver, platinum, and palladium.

Examples
Notable examples of Bullion coins include:
 * 🇬🇧 Britannias
 * 🇺🇸 American Buffalo
 * 🇺🇸 Eagles
 * 🇦🇺 Kangaroos
 * Krugerrands
 * 🇲🇽 Libertades
 * 🇨🇦 Maple Leafs
 * 🇦🇲 Noah's Arks
 * 🇦🇹 Philharmonics
 * 🇵🇱 Orzel Bielik

Carl Sontheimer

Carl G. Sontheimer (1914 – 23 March 1998) was an American inventor and engineer best known for creating the original Cuisinart food processor.

Sontheimer was born in New York City but raised in France. He returned to the U.S. to attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he received an engineering degree. Before developing the food processor in the early 1970s, he had a career that included work at RCA and Maguire Industries. He invented a number of other devices, including a microwave-based direction finder used during NASA's moon program. He founded and sold two electronics companies, one became Trak Electronics. Sontheimer sold his stake in Trak and started Anzac Electronics to develop and manufacture microwave systems. He sold Anzac by 1966, but continued as a consultant for three years.

His food processor was based on a commercial one produced by a major French restaurant supplier, the Robot-Coupe invented by Pierre Verdon. Sontheimer refined and improved it to create the Cusinart which debuted in 1973. He and his wife sold the Cuisinart company to an investment group in 1987 for $42 million. The company is now owned by Conair.

Sontheimer died on 26 March 1998 in a hospital near his home in Greenwich, Connecticut.

Patrick Morrow

Patrick Allan Morrow, (born October 18, 1952) is a Canadian photographer and mountain climber. In 1986 he was the first person to climb the Seven Summits in the Carstensz-Version.

Biography
Morrow climbed Mount Everest, the highest peak of the world, with the "Canadian Mount Everest Expedition 1982". Between 1977 and 1986 he climbed the Seven Summits in the more difficult Carstensz-Version ("Messner list"). He wrote a book about this process, Beyond Everest: Quest for the Seven Summits, in which he argued the veracity of the Carstensz-Version over the Bass List.

Born in Invermere, British Columbia, Morrow was the first person to summit all the seven peaks on the Messner List of Seven Summits while Richard Bass was the first to complete the Bass List. Morrow was the first person to climb all the eight peaks on both lists (Bass and Messner).

Morrow has other high altitude mountaineering achievements, and in 1987, he was made a Member of the Order of Canada. Professionally Morrow was a still photographer until about 2001 when he transitioned to video.

Climbs of Seven Summits

 * Mount McKinley, North America [1977]
 * Aconcagua, South America [1981]
 * Mount Everest, Asia [1982]
 * Elbrus, Europe [1983]
 * Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa [1983]
 * Mount Kosciuszko, Australia [1983] (Bass list)
 * Vinson Massif, Antarctica [1985]
 * Puncak Jaya (Carstensz Pyramid), Oceania [1986] (Messner list).

Talk:Lyapunov function

What's a Lyapunov function?
The bad thing about this page is that it doesn't really say. It gives a very precise definition of a "Lyapunov candidate function" and says a lot about Lyapunov candidate functions, but it doesn't bother to define a Lyapunov function, except in a sketchy way near the start. — Preceding unsigned comment added by John Baez (talk • contribs) 00:40, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Well it looks like it's defined now, but I'm not sure I trust it... -Sam Winnick

2607:9880:1A18:10A:3830:F357:B9F5:6B3D (talk) 05:38, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Definition
I’d say this definition is wrong: strictly positive and locally positive definite are completely different. The function $$-\nabla{V}\cdot g$$ is not strictly positive. In particular it is zero when g is zero. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.35.206.78 (talk) 05:26, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

I think that http://mathworld.wolfram.com/LyapunovFunction.html gives a much better definition than the one provided by http://planetmath.org/?op=getobj&from=objects&id=4386. The planetmath definition does not specifiy that V is a scalar function, and it uses an example in only two independent variables (x,y) when in general V is a function in n variables. Also it is proving instability when the much more common utility of a Lyapunov function is to prove stability. I would say that the planetmath "definition" is really more of an example than a definition.

 * I agree the definition in this article is pretty abysmal - as are most mathematical definitions on Wikipedia. The concept of a Lyapunov Function could be explained with much more clarity, and without sacrificing precision. While the definition given here is precise and technically correct, the size of the audience capable of understanding and appreciating it - and furthermore the size of the audience it would actually benefit - is almost negligible. What then, is the point of having an article which benefits only a miserable fraction of the entire population, and an even more insignificant portion of the mathematical community? Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of having a Wikipedia article in the first place?

 * Definitions such as these may be appropriate for Mathworld, but they don't belong in an open, global community such as Wikipedia. Is anyone aware that persons other than graduate students and elitist Mathematicians reference these articles? Most of the mathematical definitions I've read on here are written in the most advanced, arcane way possible... heaven forbid we ever write something accessible to the "laymen" out there who seek useful descriptions for the mathematical entities they encounter.

For me it is important, that an article is mathematically clear. I don't see the point of having easy to read articles which do not take into consideration some details which may become important and are of course not that easy to understand. I changed the following: - "Lypaunov functions can be used to prove the stability or instability of fixed points in dynamical systems and autonomous differential equations." This is wrong, a Lyapunov function by definition proves the stability of a certain equilibrium. Otherwise it is a Lyapunov candidate funciton. And there is no way to prove instability with a Lyapunov function.

Further on, I introduced a definition of the Lyapunov-candidate-function and a (as i hope) clear version of the "Basic Lyapunov theorems for autonomous systems", which can be used to prove stability of an equilibrium point of such a system. (FredTschanz 16:40, 4 July 2007 (UTC))

External link
What is the point of having an external link to a describtion of a book, which actually doesn't cover the matter. There are probably thousands of books which use Lyapunov theory. If every author would set a link to his book, informational links would get lost in link-spam. Stochastic theory of Markov-chains certainly uses Lyapunov's theorems, but Lyapunov's theory is not relatet to stochastic theory in particular.

If I'm looking for a book about something, I'm not going to search in Wikipedia. If I need further infos about some matter, I might be happy to find useful references to books which focus on the matter. Please, Mr S.P. Meyn, advertise somewhere else for your book. FredTschanz (talk) 10:49, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Backslash?
What does the backslash mean in the positive-definite requirements? It should be specified, if it's intentional. LokiClock (talk) 10:22, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Asymptotically stable or globally asymptotically stable?
The last phrase in the example:

"This correctly shows that the origin is asymptotically stable",

Shouldn't it say "globally asymptotically stable"?. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.206.73.6 (talk) 01:29, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Real definition is missing
Please, note that from this article we can't cite precise definition of what is Lyapunov function. Unfortunately, the same is true for Scholarpedia and Wolfram. In this respect Scholarpedia cites partially some unreferenced textbook. Wolfram do not provide definition similarly to this article. There are various definitions for this functions in the Internet. For example, Answers.com.

Please, somebody who knows, compose precise definition for Lyapunov function. Arkadi kagan (talk) 21:13, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Example
In the given example, in the development of the expression for $$\dot V(x)$$, wouldn't it be better to replace the $$f(x)$$ by a $$\dot x$$? I understand that $$f(x) = \dot x$$, but since $$\dot x$$ comes directly from the chain rule, I think the steps would be clearer and more natural that way. The complete equation would be: $$\dot V(x) = V'(x) \dot x = \mathrm{sign}(x)\cdot (-x) = -|x|<0.$$

Generalized Lyapunov equation
The article doesn't make any mention of the generalized lyapunov equation $$AXB' + BXA' +Q = 0$$

Jeroendv (talk) 15:57, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

Article, How to think of Lyapunov functions
This article is a mess, it holds almost everything, but looks bad. It should be short and comprehensible, when you look for (mathematical) a definition.

One can think of these functions as energy description of a system to understand what the reasoning behind it is. 1. Lyapunov function exists which holds V'(x)<= 0 -> Lyapunov stability given(it just says that system is bounded by some value[of energy], it does not need to converge (to 0) 2. V'(x)<0 means that systems energy converges [around some area defined by x] ->(locally) asymptotically converges to stable equilibrium point (if x=0 is such one) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.129.2.48 (talk) 18:54, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Added text needs to be better formatted and integrated into article
you added the following section to this article but didn't format it very well. Adding a "CORRECTION" in the middle of an article does not fit with the encyclopedic nature of Wikipedia. Please also look at WP:CITE to learn how to format citations.

Deseado River

Deseado River (Río Deseado) is a river in the Argentine province of Santa Cruz. The name Deseado comes from the English Desire, the name of one of the two ships commanded by John Davis during the Thomas Cavendish expedition of 1592.

The source of the river is located as the Fénix River some kilometers north of the Buenos Aires Lake in the northwestern part of the province at the Andes range. Originally, if then flowed into the lake (and the via Rio Baker into the Pacific). In 1898, a canal was built that turned it into today's Rio Deseado, flowing for 615 km before reaching the Atlantic Coast. On its way southeast, its water is tapped for irrigation. Its tributaries include the Pinturas River.

The river sometimes disappears under the arid terrain, to re-emerge before reaching Puerto Deseado on Santa Cruz's coastline, where it produces a deep-water natural port. The outlet of the river has become submerged and inundated by sea water, forming an estuary. In 1977, this was set aside as a nature reserve, the Reserva Natural Ría Deseado.

List of Pokémon characters

This is a list of recurring characters in the Pokémon video game series. Characters may appear in multiple continuities within the Pokémon franchise, such as the animated adaptations, films, manga, and books. In these spin-offs, the characters may take on the same basic role, such as with Professor Oak and Giovanni in the Pokémon TV series, and sometimes different roles, such as with Misty and Brock.

Each main-series Pokémon game features a player character protagonist or set of protagonists, one or more rival characters, a hometown "Pokémon professor" who introduces the mechanics of the game, and a large selection of fellow Pokémon trainers, "Gym leaders", and villainous teams to battle against.

Kanto
Characters that were introduced in the video games Pokémon Red, Green, Blue (1996), Yellow (1998), FireRed, LeafGreen (2004), and Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! (2018), which are set in the fictional Kanto region. Many of these characters recur throughout the Pokémon franchise.

Protagonists
is the protagonist of Pokémon Red, Green, Blue and Yellow and the male protagonist of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. Red later appears in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal as a secret boss fight on Mt. Silver, and also appears in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Pokémon Sun and Moon, and Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, as well as in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, reprising his role from the originals. In Pokémon Adventures, he is the Champion of the Kanto Region.

is the female protagonist of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.

and are the male and female protagonists of Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.

Rivals
is the rival character of Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, FireRed, and LeafGreen. He is the grandson of Professor Oak and the player character's childhood friend. He is pushy and competitive, but generally a good Pokémon Trainer. He briefly precedes the player character as the Champion of the Kanto Region, waiting for the player to challenge him. Blue is the basis for Gary Oak in the anime. IGN listed Blue as the 98th best villain in video games, though they stressed that it was difficult to view him as a villain. He reappears in Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal and their remakes as the Viridian City Gym Leader.

replaces Blue as the rival character of Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!. The character is much kinder, offering advice and gifting the player items. When asked about this change, director Junichi Masuda said that Pokémon's evolving graphics make rude behaviors by rival characters more intense, and that he personally felt "those kinds of personalities these days are just not as accepted by players as they were back then."

Professor Oak
Professor Samuel Oak is a Pokémon Researcher and the grandfather of Blue in the Kanto-based games. He is described as the leading Pokémon expert, specializing in Pokémon behavioral science. Alongside his research, he is also authorized by the Pokémon League to give new Pokémon Trainers one of the three starter Pokémon: Bulbasaur, Squirtle, or Charmander. In the anime, he gives Ash Ketchum his Pikachu after he arrives too late to receive one of the usual three starter Pokémon. In Pokémon Yellow, he gives Red a Pikachu after Blue takes an Eevee. A younger version of the character has a major supporting role in the movie Pokémon 4Ever.

Gym leaders and Elite Four
Each main-series Pokémon game, with the exception of Pokémon Sun and Moon and their 3rd and 4th versions, includes a group of eight "Gym leaders", who award the player character a badge upon defeat. Each Gym leader possesses a team of several Pokémon of similar type or theming. Particularly notable Gym leaders of the Kanto-based games are:
 * Brock is the Gym Leader of Pewter City and an expert on Rock-type Pokémon. In the Pokémon anime, he joins Ash on his adventure, leaving his post to his father, Flint. However, in Pokémon Chronicles, he returns to find his mother leading the gym using Water-type Pokémon.
 * Misty is the Gym Leader of Cerulean City and an expert on Water-type Pokémon. In the anime, she leaves this post for a time to join Ash on his adventure. In Pokémon Chronicles, Misty returns to take over as Gym Leader from her sisters and becomes one of the main characters, often co-starring with Tracey Sketchit, Casey or one of her sisters: Daisy, Lily, and Violet.

In addition to Brock and Misty, the other gym leaders are Lt. Surge (マチス), Erika (エリカ), Sabrina (ナツメ）), Koga (キキョウ), Blaine (カツラ), and Giovanni (サカキ).

Each main-series Pokémon game also includes a group of elite-level trainers at the end of the game, which is called the Elite Four in Kanto. This team includes the Ice-themed Lorelei (カンナ), Fighting-themed Bruno (シバ), Ghost-themed Agatha (キクコ), and Dragon-themed Lance (ワタル).

Team Rocket
Giovanni is the Leader of the villainous Team Rocket. He runs the Viridian City Gym in Pokémon Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, and their remakes. He later disappears and is not seen again, though Team Rocket attempts to locate him in Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, and their remakes. He also appears as the main antagonist of Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon's postgame story. Giovanni is a recurring character in the Pokémon anime series, where he is the boss of Team Rocket.

Jessie and James  are a pair of Team Rocket grunts who originate from the Pokémon anime series. They appear as antagonists in Yellow, Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!. Their English names are a reference to outlaw Jesse James. Their Japanese names are references to two famed swordsmen in Japanese history, Sasaki Kojirō and Miyamoto Musashi, who famously fought each other on the Island of Ganryū in 1612, resulting in Musashi's victory and Kojirō's death.

Johto
Characters that were introduced in the video games Pokémon Gold, Silver (1999), Crystal (2000), HeartGold, or SoulSilver (2009), which are primarily set in the fictional Johto region.

Protagonists
is the protagonist of Pokémon Gold and Silver, and the male protagonist of Pokémon Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver.

was introduced in Pokémon Crystal, and was the first female player character in the Pokémon series. Though players at the time paid little attention to the addition of a female character, Kris is considered a meaningful addition by women who grew up with the game. Playing as the character was noted as a formative queer experience for transgender women. The character was replaced by in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.

Silver
is the rival of the Johto-based games. He steals his first Pokémon from Professor Elm and tends to see Pokémon as tools to use and discard. Unlike Blue before him, Silver is depicted as a mediocre trainer, though the Sprout Tower sage and Lance see talent and great potential in him. He eventually realizes his wrongdoings and changes his ways by treating his Pokémon with respect. Silver also appears in Pokémon Masters EX, in which he is identified by Ho-Oh as being pure of heart. He is the son of Giovanni, with the Celebi event in HeartGold and SoulSilver showing their past.

Professor Elm
Professor Elm is an absent-minded Pokémon Researcher and former student of Professor Oak. In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, he is authorized by the Pokémon League to give new trainers one of the three starter Pokémon: Chikorita, Cyndaquil, or Totodile. He specializes in research regarding Pokémon breeding and is credited with the discovery of Pokémon eggs, even gifting the player character a Togepi egg for research.

Jasmine
Jasmine is the Olivine City Gym Leader and an expert on Steel-type Pokémon. She initially refuses the player's challenge because she is tending to a sick Ampharos named Amphy that provides light for the city lighthouse. She challenges the player after they get Amphy proper medicine from Cianwood City. Jasmine reappears as a minor character in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl, giving HM07 Waterfall in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, or TM99 Waterfall in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. She was introduced to Pokémon Masters EX in 2020.

Hoenn
Characters that were introduced in the video games Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire (2002), Emerald (2004), and Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire (2014), which are set in the fictional Hoenn region.

Protagonists and rivals
and are the male and female protagonists of Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire. The player can select which character they want to play as, with the other character taking the role of the main rival.

is an additional rival character. He is introduced as a sickly young boy who needs help catching Pokémon. Using a Zigzagoon borrowed from Norman, the player helps him catch a Ralts. He is later taken to Verdanturf Town, where the fresh air helps him recover, though he leaves to keep training his Pokémon. He later battles the player in Victory Road.

Professor Birch
Professor Birch is a Pokémon Researcher, known for his fieldwork and research on Pokémon habitual distribution. He is also the father of the rival character. In the games, Birch gives the player character and the main rival a starter Pokémon: Treecko, Torchic, or Mudkip. At the beginning of the games, he is attacked by a wild Pokémon and drops his bag, resulting in the player having to use one of his Pokémon to save him. In the anime, he gives May her Torchic. In the Pokémon Adventures manga, he is the father of Sapphire.

Other characters
Norman is the Petalburg City Gym Leader and an expert on Normal-type Pokémon. In the games, Norman is the protagonist's father. In the anime, he is the father of May and Max. In the Pokémon Adventures manga, he is the father of Ruby and a close friend of Professor Birch.

Wallace is the Sootopolis City Gym Leader in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. He is an expert on Water-type Pokémon, a skilled artist and Pokémon Contest star. In Pokémon Emerald, Wallace becomes the Hoenn Pokémon League Champion, leaving the post of Gym Leader to his mentor, Juan.

Elizabeth Richeza of Poland

Elizabeth Richeza of Poland (Eliška-Rejčka; Ryksa-Elżbieta; 1 September 1288 – 19 October 1335), was a Polish princess member of the House of Piast and by her two marriages Queen consort of Bohemia and Poland and Duchess consort of Austria and Styria. She was the only child of Przemysł II, Duke of Greater Poland (since 1295 King of Poland) and his second wife Richeza, herself a daughter of ex-King Valdemar of Sweden and Sofia of Denmark.

Early years
Born in Poznań, Ryksa was the only child born from her parents' marriage. She was named after her mother, who died after her birth, although the exact date is unknown (probably between 1289-1292). During her first years of life, she was raised by her paternal aunt Anna in the Cistercian monastery in Owińska, where she was the abbess. It was probably there that Ryksa received the news of her father's failed kidnapping and murder on 8 February 1296 in Rogoźno. The death of the Polish King completely changed the geopolitical situation in this part of Europe, and also clearly influenced the fate of the now orphaned young princess, who was now placed under the care of her stepmother Margaret of Brandenburg, member of the House of Ascania (who took part in the conspiracy to kill Przemysł II). During the marriage ceremony of Przemysł II and Margaret (bef. 13 April 1293), Ryksa was betrothed to Otto of Brandenburg-Salzwedel (Margaret's brother), so her stepmother was also her future sister-in-law. Although Margaret received parts of Greater Poland as her dower, shortly after her husband's death, and for unknown reasons, she returned to Brandenburg, taking Ryksa with her. Otto's unexpected death on 11 March 1299 ended the betrothal and Ryksa returned to Greater Poland.

Engagement and marriage with Wenceslaus II
The death of Otto of Brandenburg complicated again Ryksa's situation, because as the only child of the last male member of the Piast Greater Poland line and the first King in almost two centuries, she was the perfect match for every contender to the Polish crown. For this, when King Wenceslaus II of Bohemia (a widower since 1297) received from the lords of Greater Poland the offer of marriage with the princess, he didn't think too much, and even before his own coronation as King of Poland on 25 July 1300 in Gniezno, Ryksa was sent to Prague.

Because of her youth, Wenceslaus II decided to delay the wedding until Ryksa was fifteen years old. During this time, she was placed under the care of Gryfina of Halych, widow of Leszek II the Black and aunt of the Bohemian King.

The marriage between Ryksa and Wenceslaus II took place on 26 May 1303 in Prague Cathedral. During the ceremony, Ryksa was crowned Queen consort of Bohemia and Poland, and at the request of her husband, she adopted the name Elisabeth, because her name was not used in Bohemia and seen as strange. The ceremony was performed with the consent of the Archbishops of Mainz and Gniezno and the Bishop of Wrocław, Henryk z Wierzbnej.

Two years later, on 15 June 1305, Queen Elizabeth gave birth to her only child, a daughter named Agnes. Only six days later, on 21 June, King Wenceslaus II died in Prague, probably of tuberculosis. The seventeen-year-old Elizabeth, now Queen Dowager, received several lands as her dowry and 20,000 pieces of fine silver.

Short government of Wenceslaus III and marriage with Rudolph of Habsburg
Elizabeth's stepson Wenceslaus III (also a claimant to the throne of Hungary) succeeded to the thrones of both Bohemia and Poland but was murdered on 4 August 1306 in Olomouc, and with him the Přemyslid dynasty became extinct. The Kujavian branch of the Piast dynasty ascended to the Polish throne.

With the death of her stepson, the position of Elizabeth again changed considerably, because as Queen Dowager, she was involved in the fight for the vacant Bohemian throne. Duke Rudolph III of Austria and Styria, son of King Albert I of Germany, finally could take the crown thanks to his father's help. In order to strengthen his position, he arranged his marriage to Elizabeth, both widow and stepmother of the last two Premyslid Kings. The marriage took place in Prague on 16 October 1306; however, Elizabeth's second time as Queen consort was short-lived: King Rudolph died on 4 July 1307 of a stomach issue after becoming ill during the siege of the fortress of a nobleman in revolt. In his will, Rudolph acknowledged Elizabeth's dowry towns and left her an additional 20,000 pieces of fine silver.

Rule over Hradec Králové
After her second husband's death, Elizabeth left Prague and settled in Hradec Králové, one of her dower towns, which became the center of her domains. However, soon after, she was again involved in the civil war for the Bohemian crown, this time between Henry of Carinthia and Frederick I of Austria, Rudolph's brother. In the fight, Elizabeth strongly supported her brother-in-law; for this, she was forced to flee from her lands, which were occupied by Henry. It was only in August 1308 when the Dowager Queen was able to return to Hradec Králové, which she transformed into a center of culture and art.

Relationship with Henry of Lipá and conflicts with John of Luxembourg
In 1310 John of Luxembourg became the new King of Bohemia, thanks to his marriage to Elizabeth, daughter of King Wenceslaus II and his first wife. John's rule faced substantial opposition from Bohemian nobles, who decided to support Elizabeth Richeza. One of the main reasons for Elizabeth Richeza's opposition was her wounded pride, for now she was degraded in status because of the new Queen consort, her own stepdaughter. The second important leader of the anti-Luxembourg faction was the powerful nobleman Jindřich of Lipá (Henry of Lipá), who was the Moravian Hetman and Governor of the Bohemian Kingdom in the absence of the King.

Soon a romantic relationship developed between Elizabeth Richeza and Henry of Lipá, which, for political reasons, never led to marriage. (This was not only due to the difference in their status, but also because a marriage with the Dowager Queen would give Henry of Lipá claims to the throne.) In order to weaken the position of the powerful nobility, in 1315, King John deprived Henry of all his offices and imprisoned him. However, the position and popularity of the Dowager Queen was so strong in Bohemia that John, fearing a civil war, released him in April 1316.

Alliance with Henry I of Jawor, peace with King John of Bohemia and sale of Hradec Králové
Despite her conciliatory gestures toward King John, Elizabeth Richeza continued to dictate her own independent policies, as was evidenced in 1317, when she arranged the betrothal of her only daughter, Agnes, to the Piast Silesian Duke Henry I of Jawor, who in order to secure his future mother-in-law's patrimony and with her consent, entered Hradec Králové with his army and began expeditions in support of rebels against King John. However, one year later, and thanks to the mediation of Emperor Louis IV (Henry I's brother-in-law) a peace treaty was signed in Domažlice, which restored Henry of Lipá in King John's favor and regained for him all of his previous offices. In addition, the Dowager Queen sold her dowry towns to King John and settled with her lover in Brno. Afterward, the relations between the Bohemia King John and Elizabeth Richeza were peaceful, to the point that a certain weakness could be interpreted by King John's actions, made evident in his approval of grants to the Cistercian convent in Moravia in response to the request of the Dowager Queen. The formal marriage between Agnes and Henry I of Jawor took place in 1319; after a miscarriage some time later, the couple remained childless.

Death of Henry of Lipá, becoming a nun and last years
Henry of Lipá died in Brno on 26 August 1329. After his loss, Elizabeth Richeza took the veil in the local convent, which she had generously endowed, and turned her attention to culture and religion, building churches and Cistercian convents, and financing the crafting of illuminated hymn books. Four years later, and together with her daughter Agnes, she went on a long pilgrimage to the shrines of the Rhine, returning a few months later.

Elizabeth Richeza, Dowager Queen of Poland and Bohemia (known in Bohemian literature as a "beautiful Polish girl"), died on 19 October 1335 in the local Cistercian monastery at Brno and, according to her wishes, was buried under the floor of her cloister church - Basilica of the Assumption of Our Lady, Brno, next to her beloved Henry of Lipá. In her will she made several donations to ecclesiastical institutions in both Bohemia and Poland (especially in Poznań, her birthplace).
