The space of continuously differentiable functions is denoted C^1, and corresponds to the k=1 case of a C-k function.

Let f*g denote the cross-correlation of functions f(t) and g(t). Then f*g = int_(-infty)^inftyf^_(tau)g(t+tau)dtau (1) = ...

A division algebra, also called a "division ring" or "skew field," is a ring in which every nonzero element has a multiplicative inverse, but multiplication is not ...

erf(z) is the "error function" encountered in integrating the normal distribution (which is a normalized form of the Gaussian function). It is an entire function defined by ...

A singular point a for which f(z)(z-a)^n is not differentiable for any integer n>0.

An exponent is the power p in an expression of the form a^p. The process of performing the operation of raising a base to a given power is known as exponentiation.

For any real alpha and beta such that beta>alpha, let p(alpha)!=0 and p(beta)!=0 be real polynomials of degree n, and v(x) denote the number of sign changes in the sequence ...

The G-transform of a function f(x) is defined by the integral (Gf)(x)=(G_(pq)^(mn)|(a_p); (b_q)|f(t))(x) (1) =1/(2pii)int_sigmaGamma[(b_m)+s, 1-(a_n)-s; (a_p^(n+1))+s, ...

The partial differential equation u_t=(1+ia)u_(xx)+(1+ic)u-(1+id)|u|^2u.

Let D=D(z_0,R) be an open disk, and let u be a harmonic function on D such that u(z)>=0 for all z in D. Then for all z in D, we have 0<=u(z)<=(R/(R-|z-z_0|))^2u(z_0).
