There are many terms in mathematics that begin with cyclic: Cyclic chain rule, for derivatives, used in thermodynamics Cyclic code, linear codes closed under cyclic permutations Cyclic convolution, a method of combining periodic functions Cycle decomposition (graph theory) Cycle decomposition (group theory) Cyclic extension, a field extension with cyclic Galois group Graph theory: Cycle graph, a connected, 2-regular graph Cycle graph (algebra), a diagram representing the cycles determined by taking powers of group elements Circulant graph, a graph with cyclic symmetry Cycle (graph theory), a nontrivial path in some graph from a node to itself Cyclic graph, a graph containing at least one graph cycle Cyclic group, a group generated by a single element Cyclic homology, an approximation of K-theory used in non-commutative differential geometry Cyclic module, a module generated by a single element Cyclic notation, a way of writing permutations Cyclic number, a number such that cyclic permutations of the digits are successive multiples of the number Cyclic order, a ternary relation defining a way to arrange a set of objects in a circle Cyclic permutation, a permutation with one nontrivial orbit Cyclic polygon, a polygon which can be given a circumscribed circle Cyclic shift, also known as circular shift Cyclic symmetry, n-fold rotational symmetry of 3-dimensional space See also Cycle (disambiguation)
