If f^'(x) is continuous and the integral converges, int_0^infty(f(ax)-f(bx))/xdx=[f(0)-f(infty)]ln(b/a).

By analogy with the geometric centroid, the centroid of an arbitrary function f(x) is defined as <x>=(intxf(x)dx)/(intf(x)dx), (1) where the integrals are taken over the ...

A game which permits a draw ("tie") when played properly by both players. Tic-tac-toe, for example, is a futile game.

Bracewell's term for the rectangle function.

A perspective collineation in which the center and axis are not incident. The term was first used by Poncelet (Cremona 1960, p. ix).

The statistical index P_G=[product((p_n)/(p_0))^(v_0)]^(1/Sigmav_0), where p_n is the price per unit in period n, q_n is the quantity produced in period n, and v_n=p_nq_n the ...

The statistical index P_H=(sumv_0)/(sum(v_0p_0)/(p_n))=(sump_0q_0)/(sum(p_0^2q_0)/(p_n)), where p_n is the price per unit in period n, q_n is the quantity produced in period ...

The hazard function (also known as the failure rate, hazard rate, or force of mortality) h(x) is the ratio of the probability density function P(x) to the survival function ...

Any vector field v satisfying [del ·v]_infty = 0 (1) [del xv]_infty = 0 (2) may be written as the sum of an irrotational part and a solenoidal part, v=-del phi+del xA, (3) ...

One of the two 7-sided star polygons {7/2} and {7/3}, illustrated above.
