alpha_n(z) = int_1^inftyt^ne^(-zt)dt (1) = n!z^(-(n+1))e^(-z)sum_(k=0)^(n)(z^k)/(k!). (2) It is equivalent to alpha_n(z)=E_(-n)(z), (3) where E_n(z) is the En-function.

The determination of the number of alternating permutations having elements {1,2,...,n}.

Asymptotic behavior. A useful yet endangered word, found rarely outside the captivity of the Oxford English Dictionary (Simpson and Weiner 1992, p. 82).

The average power of a complex signal f(t) as a function of time t is defined as <f^2(t)>=lim_(T->infty)1/(2T)int_(-T)^T|f(t)|^2dt, where |z| is the complex modulus (Papoulis ...

When working over a collection of fields, the base field is the intersection of the fields in the collection, i.e., the field contained in all other fields.

Another "beta function" defined in terms of an integral is the "exponential" beta function, given by beta_n(z) = int_(-1)^1t^ne^(-zt)dt (1) = ...

A distribution which arises in the study of integer spin particles in physics, P(k)=(k^s)/(e^(k-mu)-1). (1) Its integral is given by int_0^infty(k^sdk)/(e^(k-mu)-1) = ...

The symbol ^ which is used to denote partial conjunction in symbolic logic. It also appears in several other contexts in mathematics and is sometimes called a "wedge". In ...

The definite integral int_a^bx^ndx={(b^(n+1)-a^(n+1))/(n+1) for n!=1; ln(b/a) for n=-1, (1) where a, b, and x are real numbers and lnx is the natural logarithm.

The centralizer of an element z of a group G is the set of elements of G which commute with z, C_G(z)={x in G,xz=zx}. Likewise, the centralizer of a subgroup H of a group G ...
