One disadvantage of AC, the fact that the arc must be re-ignited after every zero crossing, has been addressed with the invention of special power units that produce a square wave pattern instead of the normal sine wave, making rapid zero crossings possible and minimizing the effects of the problem.

Sails set in other positions, or only in special circumstances, have a variety of other names, for instance: a triangular sail set on a stay might be called a staysail, or jib if the stay in question runs to the prow or bowsprit ; sails set either side of square sails to increase sail area in light winds are called studding-sails, qualified by the side and the plain sail name ( such as " port topgallant studding-sail ", but more likely to be pronounced " port t ' ga ' ant stun ' sl "); a gaff sail set aft of the mizzen mast may be called a Spanker or Driver.

Five of the accumulators were controlled by a special Divider / Square-Rooter unit to perform up to forty division operations per second or three square root operations per second.

If the rest mass is imaginary this implies that the denominator is imaginary since the total energy is an observable and thus must be real ; therefore the quantity under the square root must be negative, which can only happen if v is greater than c. As noted by Gregory Benford et al., among others, special relativity implies that tachyons, if they existed, could be used to communicate backwards in time ( see Tachyonic antitelephone article ).

* Costuming: Square dance clubs often have a dress code ; gay square dance clubs usually are " casual ", that is, no costume or special clothing requirement.

* Dancing with other clubs: Non-gay square dance groups often attend special dances ( sometimes known as hoedowns ) hosted by other clubs in the area, or visit other clubs at their regular dances ( so-called banner raids ).

In addition to sponsoring classes, clubs also sponsor special social and dance evenings, as well as larger dances, which are usually open to the general square dance community ( i. e. non-club dancers ).

The direct sum of matrices is a special type of block matrix, in particular the direct sum of square matrices is a block diagonal matrix.

In the special but common case in which M is just an m × m square matrix with positive determinant whose entries are plain real numbers, then U, V *, and Σ are m × m matrices of real numbers as well, Σ can be regarded as a scaling matrix, and U and V * can be viewed as rotation matrices.

In the special case that M is a normal matrix, which by definition must be square, the spectral theorem says that it can be unitarily diagonalized using a basis of eigenvectors, so that it can be written for a unitary matrix U and a diagonal matrix D. When M is also positive semi-definite, the decomposition is also a singular value decomposition.

The spectral theorem for normal matrices can be seen as a special case of the more general result which holds for all square matrices: Schur decomposition.
