In this paper, we propose new definitions of digital Jordan curves and digital Jordan surfaces. We start with introducing and studying closure operators on a given set that are associated with n-ary relations (n > 1 an integer) on this set. Discussed are in particular the closure operators associated with certain n-ary relations on the digital line ℤ. Of these relations, we focus on a ternary one equipping the digital plane ℤ2 and the digital space ℤ3 with the closure operator associated with the direct product of two and three, respectively, copies of this ternary relation. The connectedness provided by the closure operator is shown to be suitable for defining digital curves satisfying a digital Jordan curve theorem and digital surfaces satisfying a digital Jordan surface theorem.

SynopsisThe paper is intended as an elementary introduction and companion to the paper on “Orthogonal Polynomials,” by G. J. Lidstone, J.I.A., vol. briv., p. 128, and the paper on the “Sum and Integral of the Product of Two Functions,” by A. W. Joseph, J.I.A., vol. lxiv., p. 329; and also to Dr. Aitken's paper on the “Graduation of Data by the Orthogonal Polynomials of Least Squares,” Proc. Roy. Soc. Edin., vol. liii., p. 54.Following Dr. Aitken Σux is defined for the immediate purpose to be u0+…+ux−1.The scheme of successive summations is set out in the form of a difference diagram and is extended to negative arguments. The special point to which attention is drawn is the existence of a wedge of zeros between the sums for positive arguments and those for negative arguments.The rest of the paper is for the greater part a study of the table of binomial coefficients for positive and for negative arguments. The Tchebychef polynomials are simple functions of the binomial coefficients, and after a description of a particular example and of its properties general methods are given of forming the polynomials by means of tables of differences. These tables furnish examples of simple, differences, of divided differences, of adjusted differences, and of a system of special adjusted differences which gives a very easy scheme for the formation of the Tchebychef polynomials.
