A fair coin is tossed an even 2n number of times. Let D=|H-T| be the absolute difference in the number of heads and tails obtained. Then the probability distribution is given ...

An O(nlgn) sorting algorithm which is not quite as fast as quicksort. It is a "sort-in-place" algorithm and requires no auxiliary storage, which makes it particularly concise ...

A partial differential diffusion equation of the form (partialU)/(partialt)=kappadel ^2U. (1) Physically, the equation commonly arises in situations where kappa is the ...

To solve the heat conduction equation on a two-dimensional disk of radius a=1, try to separate the equation using U(r,theta,t)=R(r)Theta(theta)T(t). (1) Writing the theta and ...

The Heath-Brown-Moroz constant is defined by C_(Heath-Brown-Moroz) = product_(p)(1-1/p)^7(1+(7p+1)/(p^2)) (1) = 0.00131764115... (2) (OEIS A118228), where the product is ...

The Heine-Borel theorem states that a subspace of R^n (with the usual topology) is compact iff it is closed and bounded. The Heine-Borel theorem can be proved using the ...

In two-dimensional Cartesian coordinates, attempt separation of variables by writing F(x,y)=X(x)Y(y), (1) then the Helmholtz differential equation becomes ...

As shown by Morse and Feshbach (1953), the Helmholtz differential equation is separable in confocal paraboloidal coordinates.

In conical coordinates, Laplace's equation can be written ...

In elliptic cylindrical coordinates, the scale factors are h_u=h_v=sqrt(sinh^2u+sin^2v), h_z=1, and the separation functions are f_1(u)=f_2(v)=f_3(z)=1, giving a Stäckel ...
