To truncate a real number is to discard its noninteger part. Truncation of a (positive) number x therefore corresponds to taking the floor function |_x_|. Truncation also ...

A one-sided (singly infinite) Z-Transform, Z[{a_n}_(n=0)^infty](z)=sum_(n=0)^infty(a_n)/(z^n). This is the most common variety of Z-transform since it is essentially ...

The span of subspace generated by vectors v_1 and v_2 in V is Span(v_1,v_2)={rv_1+sv_2:r,s in R}. A set of vectors m={v_1,...,v_n} can be tested to see if they span ...

Constants gamma such that [int_Omega|f|^qdx]^(1/q)<=gamma[int_Omegasum_(i=1)^N|(partialf)/(partialx_i)|^pdx]^(1/p), where f is a real-valued smooth function on a region Omega ...

The Yiu circle is the circumcircle of the Yiu triangle DeltaO_AO_BO_C. It has center function given by alpha=af(a,b,c), where f(a,b,c) is a 14th-order polynomial. Its radius ...

A shorthand name for a series with the variable k taken to a negative exponent, e.g., sum_(k=1)^(infty)k^(-p), where p>1. p-series are given in closed form by the Riemann ...

Stratton (1935), Chu and Stratton (1941), and Rhodes (1970) define the spheroidal functions as those solutions of the differential equation (1) that remain finite at the ...

Ai(z) and Ai^'(z) have zeros on the negative real axis only. Bi(z) and Bi^'(z) have zeros on the negative real axis and in the sector pi/3<|argz|<pi/2. The nth (real) roots ...

The modified Lommel functions of the first and second kind give the solution to the Lommel differential equation with a minus sign in front of the linear term, i.e., ...

Archimedes' spiral is an Archimedean spiral with polar equation r=atheta. (1) This spiral was studied by Conon, and later by Archimedes in On Spirals about 225 BC. Archimedes ...
