The generalized minimal residual (GMRES) method (Saad and Schultz 1986) is an extension of the minimal residual method (MINRES), which is only applicable to symmetric ...

The function defined by y=ab^(q^x). It is used in actuarial science for specifying a simplified mortality law (Kenney and Keeping 1962, p. 241). Using s(x) as the probability ...

For the hyperbolic partial differential equation u_(xy) = F(x,y,u,p,q) (1) p = u_x (2) q = u_y (3) on a domain Omega, Goursat's problem asks to find a solution u(x,y) of (3) ...

The eigenvalues of a graph are defined as the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. The set of eigenvalues of a graph is called a graph spectrum. The largest eigenvalue ...

A special case of nim played by the following rules. Given a heap of size n, two players alternately select a heap and divide it into two unequal heaps. A player loses when ...

A two-dimensional generalization of the Haar transform which is used for the compression of astronomical images. The algorithm consists of dividing the 2^N×2^N image into ...

A root-finding algorithm which makes use of a third-order Taylor series f(x)=f(x_n)+f^'(x_n)(x-x_n)+1/2f^('')(x_n)(x-x_n)^2+.... (1) A root of f(x) satisfies f(x)=0, so 0 ...

The Hermite constant is defined for dimension n as the value gamma_n=(sup_(f)min_(x_i)f(x_1,x_2,...,x_n))/([discriminant(f)]^(1/n)) (1) (Le Lionnais 1983). In other words, ...

The Hilbert transform (and its inverse) are the integral transform g(y) = H[f(x)]=1/piPVint_(-infty)^infty(f(x)dx)/(x-y) (1) f(x) = ...

A determinant which arises in the solution of the second-order ordinary differential equation x^2(d^2psi)/(dx^2)+x(dpsi)/(dx)+(1/4h^2x^2+1/2h^2-b+(h^2)/(4x^2))psi=0. (1) ...
