Metric Small Cancellation Conditions
Let 0 < λ < 1. Presentation (∗) as above is said to satisfy the C'(λ) small cancellation condition if whenever u is a piece with respect to (∗) and u is a subword of some r ∈ R, then |u| < λ|r|. Here |v| is the length of a word v.
The condition C'(λ) is sometimes called a metric small cancellation condition.

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or conditions:
“What a profound significance small things assume when the woman we love conceals them from us.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“Technological change defines the horizon of our material world as it shapes the limiting conditions of what is possible and what is barely imaginable. It erodes ... assumptions about the nature of our reality, the “pattern” in which we dwell, and lays open new choices.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
