Labs septic

In mathematics, the Labs septic surface is a degree 7 (septic) nodal surface with 99 nodes found by Labs (2006). As of 2015, it has the largest known number of nodes of a degree 7 surface, though this number is still less that the best known upper bound of 104 nodes given by Giventalʹ (1983) and Varchenko (1983).
