The phrase "a small number of elements" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a limited quantity of items or components in various contexts, such as scientific, technical, or general discussions.
Example: "In this experiment, we focused on a small number of elements to simplify our analysis."
Alternatives: "a few elements" or "a limited number of elements".
In this way, an RUC can be constructed with a small number of elements.
This approach allows discretizing the net using a small number of elements.
Therefore, studying the simplest models of networks, which are ensembles with a small number of elements, becomes of particular interest.
Prince's greatest singles were minimal – Kiss, Sign of the Times, Alphabet Street are all pretty sparse – and I think that when you can make a track with a small number of elements, you're halfway to having a single.
The numerical results demonstrate that the present method provides accurate results by using only a small number of elements and the viscoelastic FGM pipes exhibit some special dynamic behaviors.
The proposed method is applied to a classical vibrations problem the vibrating string and it is concluded that the main advantage of the method is the fact that excellent accuracy can be achieved with a small number of elements.
Then their major natural modes are computed with only a small number of element meshes as the shaft rotational speed is varied, and subsequently compared with the existing numerical results obtained using other methods and newly acquired experimental ones.
The computations incorporate a mesh redistribution algorithm which creates new elements in regions of high strain and locally redistributes the vorticity field into a smaller number of elements when particles tend to cluster.
Noether showed how to exploit such conditions, however, to maximum advantage: for example, how to use them to show that every set of sub-objects has a maximal/minimal element or that a complex object can be generated by a smaller number of elements.
And, a weight of this interaction is number of the shared protein elements normalized by number of elements of a protein complex which has a smaller number of elements.
Interestingly, such a preference for the continuous gratings was not observed in cases in which rats had been originally trained to discriminate a positive column (or row) pattern from a negative pattern made of a smaller number of elements, arranged so as to form an X [143].
