The paper folding constant is the constant given by P = sum_(k=0)^(infty)1/(2^(2^k))(1-1/(2^(2^(k+2))))^(-1) (1) = sum_(k=0)^(infty)(8^(2^k))/(2^(2^(k+2))-1) (2) = ...

A set of blocks, also called a resolution class, that partition the set V, where (V,B) is a balanced incomplete block design.

Let F(nu) and G(nu) be the Fourier transforms of f(t) and g(t), respectively. Then int_(-infty)^inftyf(t)g^_(t)dt ...

The element in the diagonal of a matrix by which other elements are divided in an algorithm such as Gauss-Jordan elimination is called the pivot element. Partial pivoting is ...

Given a polynomial in a single complex variable with complex coefficients p(z)=a_nz^n+a_(n-1)z^(n-1)+...+a_0, the reciprocal polynomial is defined by ...

An automorphism which interchanges the two vertices of a regular map at each edge without interchanging the vertices.

In a local ring R, there is only one maximal ideal m. Hence, R has only one quotient ring R/m which is a field. This field is called the residue field.

The Rutherford constant is a mathematical constant that arises in plasma physics and is defined by K_R = sqrt(2)int_(-1)^infty([R(x)]^2)/(S[x])dx (1) = 0.8227..., (2) where ...

Let A=a_(ij) be an n×n matrix with complex (or real) entries and eigenvalues lambda_1, lambda_2, ..., lambda_n, then sum_(i=1)^n|lambda_i|^2<=sum_(i,j=1)^n|a_(ij)|^2 (1) ...

The bias of a series is defined as Q[a_i,a_(i+1),a_(i+2)]=(a_ia_(i+2)-a_(i+1)^2)/(a_ia_(i+1)a_(i+2)). A series is geometric iff Q=0. A series is artistic iff the bias is ...
