Regular cardinal In set theory, a regular cardinal is an infinite well-orderable cardinal whose initial ordinal is regular, where a regular ordinal is an ordinal which is equal to its own cofinality. So, crudely speaking, a regular cardinal is one which cannot be broken into a smaller collection of smaller parts.
Regular economy A regular economy is an economy characterized by an excess demand function which has the property that its slope at any equilibrium price vector is non-zero. In other words, if we graph the excess demand function against prices, then the excess demand function "cuts" the x-axis assuring that each equilibrium is locally unique.
Regular expression In computing, a regular expression (abbreviated as regexp or regex, with plural forms regexps, regexes, or regexen) is a string that describes or matches a set of strings, according to certain syntax rules. Regular expressions are used by many text editors and utilities to search and manipulate bodies of text based on certain patterns.

Regular local ring In commutative algebra, a regular local ring is a Noetherian local ring having the property that the minimal number of generators of its maximal ideal is exactly the same as its Krull dimension. The minimal number of generators of the maximal ideal is always bounded below by the Krull dimension.
Regular number In the study of Babylonian mathematics, a regular number is a whole number which divides a power of 60. In the Babylonian sexagesimal notation, this means that the reciprocal of the number has a finite representation, thus being easy to divide by; and tables of such reciprocals survive.

Regular script The regular script or standard script, or in Chinese kaishu () and Japanese kaisho, also commonly known as standard regular (ćŁćĄ·), is the newest of the Chinese calligraphy styles (maturing around the 7th century), hence most common in modern writings and publications (after the non-calligraphic printing Song Ti). It is also occasionally known as true script (真書 zhÄ“nshĹ«) and standard script (ćŁć›¸ zhèngshĹ«).
Regular singular point In mathematics, in the theory of ordinary differential equations in the complex plane C, the points of C are classified into ordinary points, at which the equation's coefficients are analytic functions, and singular points, at which some coefficient has a singularity. Then amongst singular points, an important distinction is made between a regular singular point, where there are meromorphic function solutions in Laurent series, and an irregular singular point, where the full solution set requires functions with an essential singularity.
Regular temperament Regular temperament is any tempered system of musical tuning such that each frequency ratio is obtainable as a product of powers of a finite number of generators, or generating frequency ratios. The classic example of a regular temperament is meantone temperament, where the generating intervals are usually given in terms of a slightly flattened fifth and the octave.

Regularization (mathematics) In mathematics, inverse problems are often ill-posed. To solve these problems numerically one must introduce some additional information about the solution, such as an assumption on the smoothness or a bound on the norm.
Regularization (physics) In physics, especially quantum field theory, regularization is a method of dealing with infinite, divergent, and non-sensical expressions by introducing an auxiliary concept of a regulator (for example, the minimal distance epsilon in space which is useful if the divergences arise from short-distance physical effects). The correct physical result is obtained in the limit in which the regulator goes away (in our example, epsilonto 0), but the virtue of the regulator is that for its finite value, the result is finite.

Regular singular point In mathematics, in the theory of ordinary differential equations in the complex plane C, the points of C are classified into ordinary points, at which the equation's coefficients are analytic functions, and singular points, at which some coefficient has a singularity. Then amongst singular points, an important distinction is made between a regular singular point, where there are meromorphic function solutions in Laurent series, and an irregular singular point, where the full solution set requires functions with an essential singularity.

Regularization (physics) In physics, especially quantum field theory, regularization is a method of dealing with infinite, divergent, and non-sensical expressions by introducing an auxiliary concept of a regulator (for example, the minimal distance epsilon in space which is useful if the divergences arise from short-distance physical effects). The correct physical result is obtained in the limit in which the regulator goes away (in our example, epsilonto 0), but the virtue of the regulator is that for its finite value, the result is finite.
