In mathematics,Robinson arithmetic is a finitely axiomatized fragment of first-order Peano arithmetic (PA),first set out by Raphael M. Robinson in 1950. It is usually denoted Q. Q is almost PA without the axiom schema of mathematical induction. Q is weaker than PA but it has the same language,and both theories are incomplete. Q is important and interesting because it is a finitely axiomatized fragment of PA that is recursively incompletable and essentially undecidable.

To Ngoc Van is a pit-floored crater on Mercury,named after the Vietnamese artist TôNgọc Vân. It was discovered in January 2008 during the first flyby of the planet by MESSENGER spacecraft. Its floor displays an irregularly shaped collapse feature,which is called a central pit. The size of the pit is 21 ×10 km. Such a feature may have resulted from collapse of a magma chamber underlying the central part of the crater. The collapse feature is an analog of Earth's volcanic calderas.
