A discrete distribution of a random variable such that every possible value can be represented in the form a+bn, where a,b!=0 and n is an integer.

The negative pedal curve of a line specified parametrically by x = at (1) y = 0 (2) is given by x_n = 2at-x (3) y_n = ((x-at)^2)/y, (4) which is a parabola.

Given a point set P={x_n}_(n=0)^(N-1) in the s-dimensional unit cube [0,1)^s, the local discrepancy is defined as D(J,P)=|(number of x_n in J)/N-Vol(J)|, Vol(J) is the ...

A function f(x) is logarithmically concave on the interval [a,b] if f>0 and lnf(x) is concave on [a,b]. The definition can also be extended to R^k->(0,infty) functions ...

The portion of the complex plane {x+iy:x,y in (-infty,infty)} satisfying y=I[z]<0, i.e., {x+iy:x in (-infty,infty),y in (-infty,0)}

h_t+(|h|^nh_(xxx))_x=0, where h(x,t) is the height of a film at position x and time t and n is a parameter characteristic of the surface forces.

The second-order ordinary differential equation y^('')-[(m(m+1)+1/4-(m+1/2)cosx)/(sin^2x)+(lambda+1/2)]y=0.

The parameter r in the exponential equation of population growth N(t)=N_0e^(rt), where N_0 is the initial population size (at t=0) and t is the elapsed time.

Given a square complex or real matrix A, a matrix norm ||A|| is a nonnegative number associated with A having the properties 1. ||A||>0 when A!=0 and ||A||=0 iff A=0, 2. ...

(e^(ypsi_0(x))Gamma(x))/(Gamma(x+y))=product_(n=0)^infty(1+y/(n+x))e^(-y/(n+x)), where psi_0(x) is the digamma function and Gamma(x) is the gamma function.
