"A Night at Greenway Court" é um conto de Willa Cather. Foi publicado pela primeira vez na Nebraska Literary Magazine em junho de 1896.[1] Quatro anos depois, uma versão revisada foi publicada na Library.[2]

Resumo do enredo

Em 1752, Richard Morgan — um cidadão de Winchester, Virgínia — visita seu amigo Lord Fairfax no vizinho Greenway Court. Lá, ele conhece Philip Maurepas, um francês que lhes conta sobre seus anos na Índia. Ele expressa seu desdém pelo Rei, para desgosto do Visconde Chillingham. Eles comparam as ordens políticas tanto na Inglaterra quanto na França. Maurepas então ataca Fairfax por causa da pintura de uma mulher com um lírio que ele tem. No dia seguinte, Fairfax age regiamente e finge que nada aconteceu. O narrador conclui que agiu de acordo com seu dever virginiano. De interesse histórico, mas não é a obra mais celebrada de Cather.

Degree matrix

Type of matrix in algebraic graph theory In the mathematical field of algebraic graph theory, the degree matrix of an undirected graph is a diagonal matrix which contains information about the degree of each vertex—that is, the number of edges attached to each vertex.[1] It is used together with the adjacency matrix to construct the Laplacian matrix of a graph: the Laplacian matrix is the difference of the degree matrix and the adjacency matrix.[2] Definition Given a graph G...
