The expected number of trials needed to collect a complete set of n different objects when picked at random with repetition is nH_n (Havil 2003, p. 131). For n=1, 2, ..., the ...

An invertible linear transformation T:V->W is a map between vector spaces V and W with an inverse map which is also a linear transformation. When T is given by matrix ...

Let f:R->R, then the negative part of f is the function f^-:R->R defined by f^-(x)=max(-f(x),0). Note that the negative part is itself a nonnegative function. The negative ...

The integral transform (Kf)(x)=Gamma(p)int_0^infty(x+t)^(-p)f(t)dt. Note the lower limit of 0, not -infty as implied in Samko et al. (1993, p. 23, eqn. 1.101).

Fermat's last theorem is a theorem first proposed by Fermat in the form of a note scribbled in the margin of his copy of the ancient Greek text Arithmetica by Diophantus. The ...

A solution to a problem that can be written in "closed form" in terms of known functions, constants, etc., is often called an analytic solution. Note that this use of the ...

The components of the gradient of the one-form dA are denoted A_(,k), or sometimes partial_kA, and are given by A_(,k)=(partialA)/(partialx^k) (Misner et al. 1973, p. 62). ...

Let X be a metric space, A be a subset of X, and d a number >=0. The d-dimensional Hausdorff measure of A, H^d(A), is the infimum of positive numbers y such that for every ...

An induced subgraph is a subgraph obtained from an original graph by removing a subset of vertices and/or edges together with any edges whose endpoints are both in this ...

Let W(u) be a Wiener process. Then where V_t=f(W(t),tau) for 0<=tau=T-t<=T, and f in C^(2,1)((0,infty)×[0,T]). Note that while Ito's lemma was proved by Kiyoshi Ito (also ...
