Special functions which arise as solutions to second order ordinary differential equations are commonly said to be "of the first kind" if they are nonsingular at the origin, ...

Consider a second-order differential operator L^~u(x)=p_0(d^2u)/(dx^2)+p_1(du)/(dx)+p_2u, (1) where u=u(x) and p_i=p_i(x) are real functions of x on the region of interest ...

The equation of the curve of intersection of a torus with a plane perpendicular to both the midplane of the torus and to the plane x=0. (The general intersection of a torus ...

A determinant used to determine in which coordinate systems the Helmholtz differential equation is separable (Morse and Feshbach 1953). A determinant S=|Phi_(mn)|=|Phi_(11) ...

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 ...

The method of d'Alembert provides a solution to the one-dimensional wave equation (partial^2y)/(partialx^2)=1/(c^2)(partial^2y)/(partialt^2) (1) that models vibrations of a ...

Given a circle, the apothem is the perpendicular distance r from the midpoint of a chord to the circle's center. It is also equal to the radius R minus the sagitta h, r=R-h. ...

Draw the perpendicular line from the intersection of the two small semicircles in the arbelos. The two circles C_1 and C_2 tangent to this line, the large semicircle, and ...

A (symmetrical) boundary set of radius r and center x_0 is the set of all points x such that |x-x_0|=r. Let x_0 be the origin. In R^1, the boundary set is then the pair of ...

If, in the Gershgorin circle theorem for a given m, |a_(jj)-a_(mm)|>Lambda_j+Lambda_m for all j!=m, then exactly one eigenvalue of A lies in the disk Gamma_m.
