Let [arg(f(z))] denote the change in the complex argument of a function f(z) around a contour gamma. Also let N denote the number of roots of f(z) in gamma and P denote the ...

Let a vault consist of two equal half-cylinders of radius r which intersect at right angles so that the lines of their intersections (the "groins") terminate in the ...

A vector Laplacian can be defined for a vector A by del ^2A=del (del ·A)-del x(del xA), (1) where the notation ✡ is sometimes used to distinguish the vector Laplacian from ...

Given an n-dimensional vector x=[x_1; x_2; |; x_n], (1) a general vector norm |x|, sometimes written with a double bar as ||x||, is a nonnegative norm defined such that 1. ...

A volume element is the differential element dV whose volume integral over some range in a given coordinate system gives the volume of a solid, V=intintint_(G)dxdydz. (1) In ...

For a given point lattice, some number of points will be within distance d of the origin. A Waterman polyhedron is the convex hull of these points. A progression of Waterman ...

Consider the differential equation satisfied by w=z^(-1/2)W_(k,-1/4)(1/2z^2), (1) where W is a Whittaker function, which is given by ...

There are at least two theorems known as Weierstrass's theorem. The first states that the only hypercomplex number systems with commutative multiplication and addition are ...

The Weingarten equations express the derivatives of the normal vector to a surface using derivatives of the position vector. Let x:U->R^3 be a regular patch, then the shape ...

The apodization function A(x)=1-(x^2)/(a^2). (1) Its full width at half maximum is sqrt(2)a. Its instrument function is I(k) = 2asqrt(2pi)(J_(3/2)(2pika))/((2pika)^(3/2)) (2) ...
