The second-order ordinary differential equation x^2(d^2y)/(dx^2)+x(dy)/(dx)-(x^2+n^2)y=0. (1) The solutions are the modified Bessel functions of the first and second kinds, ...

The moment problem, also called "Hausdorff's moment problem" or the "little moment problem," may be stated as follows. Given a sequence of numbers {mu_n}_(n=0)^infty, under ...

A nonzero vector v=(v_0,v_1,...,v_(n-1)) in n-dimensional Lorentzian space R^(1,n-1) is said to be negative timelike if it has imaginary (Lorentzian) norm and if its first ...
