| Amenable group | In mathematics, an amenable group is a topological group G carrying a kind of averaging operation, that is invariant under translations by group elements. In the case where G is not an abelian group, that means translation on a fixed side (left- or right-translation). (references) | ||
| Amenable number | All composite numbers would be amenable if the multiset was allowed to be of any length, because, even if other solutions are available, one can always make an inelegant solution by taking the prime factorization (expressed with repeated factors rather than exponents) and add as many 1s as necessary to add up to n. Because of the multiplicative identity, multiplying this set of integers will yield n no matter how many 1s there are in the set. (references) | ||
