Burin (engraving)
A burin ( ) is a steel cutting tool used in engraving, from the French ''burin'' (cold chisel). Its older English name and synonym is graver. Etymology The term ''burin'' refers to a tool used by engravers that has a thin, pointed blade and it used to etch or cut. The first known use of the word dates back to France in the mid-1600s when the term was coined for the tool we know today. Design The burin consists of a rounded handle shaped like a mushroom, and a tempered steel shaft, coming from the handle at an angle, and ending in a very sharp cutting face. The most ubiquitous types have a square or lozenge face, a high-end repertoire has many others. A tint burin consists of a square face with teeth, to create many fine, closely spaced lines. A stipple tool allows for the creation of fine dots. A flat burin consists of a rectangular face, and is used for cutting away large portions of material at a time. The earliest uses of a burin come from the Lower Paleolithic era, t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Graver Basis
In applied mathematics, Graver bases enable iterative solutions of linear and various nonlinear integer programming problems in polynomial time. They were introduced by Jack E. Graver.Jack E. Graver: On the foundations of linear and linear integer programming, Mathematical Programming 9:207–226, 1975 Their connection to the theory of Gröbner bases was discussed by Bernd Sturmfels.Bernd Sturmfels, ''Gröbner Bases and Convex Polytopes'', American Mathematical Society, xii+162 pp., 1996 The algorithmic theory of Graver bases and its application to integer programming is described by Shmuel Onn.Shmuel onn |
