Let H_nu^((iota))(x) be a Hankel function of the first or second kind, let x,nu>0, and define w=sqrt((x/nu)^2-1). Then ...

Let alpha, -beta, and -gamma^(-1) be the roots of the cubic equation t^3+2t^2-t-1=0, (1) then the Rogers L-function satisfies L(alpha)-L(alpha^2) = 1/7 (2) ...

Weak convergence is usually either denoted x_nw; ->x or x_n->x. A sequence {x_n} of vectors in an inner product space E is called weakly convergent to a vector in E if ...

Let one grain of wheat be placed on the first square of a chessboard, two on the second, four on the third, eight on the fourth, etc. How many grains total are placed on an ...

Wilker's inequalities state that 2+(16)/(pi^4)x^3tanx<(sin^2x)/(x^2)+(tanx)/x<2+2/(45)x^3tanx for 0<x<pi/2, where the constants 2/45 and 16/pi^4 are the best possible ...

Let phi(x_1,...,x_m) be an L_(exp) formula, where L_(exp)=L union {e^x} and L is the language of ordered rings L={+,-,·,<,0,1}. Then there exist n>=m and f_1,...,f_s in ...

A Wilson prime is a prime satisfying W(p)=0 (mod p), where W(p) is the Wilson quotient, or equivalently, (p-1)!=-1 (mod p^2). The first few Wilson primes are 5, 13, and 563 ...

If X_i for i=1, ..., m has a multivariate normal distribution with mean vector mu=0 and covariance matrix Sigma, and X denotes the m×p matrix composed of the row vectors X_i, ...

The Wronskian of a set of n functions phi_1, phi_2, ... is defined by W(phi_1,...,phi_n)=|phi_1 phi_2 ... phi_n; phi_1^' phi_2^' ... phi_n^'; | | ... |; phi_1^((n-1)) ...

A Z-number is a real number xi such that 0<=frac[(3/2)^kxi]<1/2 for all k=1, 2, ..., where frac(x) is the fractional part of x. Mahler (1968) showed that there is at most one ...
