Asymptotic behavior. A useful yet endangered word, found rarely outside the captivity of the Oxford English Dictionary (Simpson and Weiner 1992, p. 82).

The average power of a complex signal f(t) as a function of time t is defined as <f^2(t)>=lim_(T->infty)1/(2T)int_(-T)^T|f(t)|^2dt, where |z| is the complex modulus (Papoulis ...

When working over a collection of fields, the base field is the intersection of the fields in the collection, i.e., the field contained in all other fields.

Let f:M->N be a geodesic mapping. If either M or N has constant curvature, then both surfaces have constant curvature (Ambartzumian 1982, p. 26; Kreyszig 1991).

If g(theta) is a trigonometric polynomial of degree m satisfying the condition |g(theta)|<=1 where theta is arbitrary and real, then g^'(theta)<=m.

Another "beta function" defined in terms of an integral is the "exponential" beta function, given by beta_n(z) = int_(-1)^1t^ne^(-zt)dt (1) = ...

A transformation in which coordinates in two spaces are expressed rationally in terms of those in another.

The bivariate normal distribution is the statistical distribution with probability density function P(x_1,x_2)=1/(2pisigma_1sigma_2sqrt(1-rho^2))exp[-z/(2(1-rho^2))], (1) ...

Let G=SL(n,C). If lambda in Z^n is the highest weight of an irreducible holomorphic representation V of G, (i.e., lambda is a dominant integral weight), then the G-map ...

A distribution which arises in the study of integer spin particles in physics, P(k)=(k^s)/(e^(k-mu)-1). (1) Its integral is given by int_0^infty(k^sdk)/(e^(k-mu)-1) = ...
