Let l(x) be an nth degree polynomial with zeros at x_1, ..., x_n. Then the fundamental Hermite interpolating polynomials of the first and second kinds are defined by ...

"The" Jacobi identity is a relationship [A,[B,C]]+[B,[C,A]]+[C,[A,B]]=0,, (1) between three elements A, B, and C, where [A,B] is the commutator. The elements of a Lie algebra ...

If mu is a real measure (i.e., a measure that takes on real values), then one can decompose it according to where it is positive and negative. The positive variation is ...

For every k>=1, let C_k be the set of composite numbers n>k such that if 1<a<n, GCD(a,n)=1 (where GCD is the greatest common divisor), then a^(n-k)=1 (mod n). Special cases ...

The Leibniz harmonic triangle is the number triangle given by 1/11/2 1/21/3 1/6 1/31/4 1/(12) 1/(12) 1/41/5 1/(20) 1/(30) 1/(20) 1/5 (1) (OEIS A003506), where each fraction ...

For a logarithmic spiral given parametrically as x = ae^(bt)cost (1) y = ae^(bt)sint, (2) evolute is given by x_e = -abe^(bt)sint (3) y_e = abe^(bt)cost. (4) As first shown ...

The Mills ratio is defined as m(x) = 1/(h(x)) (1) = (S(x))/(P(x)) (2) = (1-D(x))/(P(x)), (3) where h(x) is the hazard function, S(x) is the survival function, P(x) is the ...

Let a module M in an integral domain D_1 for R(sqrt(D)) be expressed using a two-element basis as M=[xi_1,xi_2], where xi_1 and xi_2 are in D_1. Then the different of the ...

Given an m×n matrix B, the Moore-Penrose generalized matrix inverse is a unique n×m matrix pseudoinverse B^+. This matrix was independently defined by Moore in 1920 and ...

A number which is simultaneously octagonal and triangular. Let O_n denote the nth octagonal number and T_m the mth triangular number, then a number which is both octagonal ...
