A set is said to be bounded from below if it has a lower bound. Consider the real numbers with their usual order. Then for any set M subset= R, the infimum infM exists (in R) ...

A metric space X is boundedly compact if all closed bounded subsets of X are compact. Every boundedly compact metric space is complete. (This is a generalization of the ...

When n is an integer >=0, then J_n(z) and J_(n+m)(z) have no common zeros other than at z=0 for m an integer >=1, where J_n(z) is a Bessel function of the first kind. The ...

The boustrophedon ("ox-plowing") transform b of a sequence a is given by b_n = sum_(k=0)^(n)(n; k)a_kE_(n-k) (1) a_n = sum_(k=0)^(n)(-1)^(n-k)(n; k)b_kE_(n-k) (2) for n>=0, ...

The quartic with implicit equation x^4=x^2y-y^3. (1) The bow has vertical tangents at (+/-2/9sqrt(3),2/9) and horizontal tangents at (+/-1/4sqrt(2),1/4). Its curvature is ...

The statistical index P_B=1/2(P_L+P_P), where P_L is Laspeyres' index and P_P is Paasche's index.

The Bowley skewness, also known as quartile skewness coefficient, is defied by ((Q_3-Q_2)-(Q_2-Q_1))/(Q_3-Q_1)=(Q_1-2Q_2+Q_3)/(Q_3-Q_1), where the Qs denote the interquartile ...

The number of "prime" boxes is always finite, where a set of boxes is prime if it cannot be built up from one or more given configurations of boxes.

The function Pi_(a,b)(x)=H(x-a)-H(x-b) which is equal to 1 for a<=x<=b and 0 otherwise. Here H(x) is the Heaviside step function. The special case Pi_(-1/2,1/2)(x) gives the ...

Let where (alpha)_j is a Pochhammer symbol, and let alpha be a negative integer. Then S(alpha,beta,m;z)=(Gamma(beta+1-m))/(Gamma(alpha+beta+1-m)), where Gamma(z) is the gamma ...
