The largest square dividing a positive integer n. For n=1, 2, ..., the first few are 1, 1, 1, 4, 1, 1, 1, 4, 9, 1, 1, 4, ... (OEIS A008833).

An order-n Costas array is a permutation on {1,...,n} such that the distances in each row of the triangular difference table are distinct. For example, the permutation ...

The polynomials G_n(x;a,b) given by the associated Sheffer sequence with f(t)=e^(at)(e^(bt)-1), (1) where b!=0. The inverse function (and therefore generating function) ...

Polynomials s_k(x;lambda) which form a Sheffer sequence with g(t) = 1+e^(lambdat) (1) f(t) = e^t-1 (2) and have generating function ...

Assume that f is a nonnegative real function on [0,infty) and that the two integrals int_0^inftyx^(p-1-lambda)[f(x)]^pdx (1) int_0^inftyx^(q-1+mu)[f(x)]^qdx (2) exist and are ...

Codimension is a term used in a number of algebraic and geometric contexts to indicate the difference between the dimension of certain objects and the dimension of a smaller ...

Two matrices A and B which satisfy AB=BA (1) under matrix multiplication are said to be commuting. In general, matrix multiplication is not commutative. Furthermore, in ...

The term "continuum" has (at least) two distinct technical meanings in mathematics. The first is a compact connected metric space (Kuratowski 1968; Lewis 1983, pp. 361-394; ...

A partial differential diffusion equation of the form (partialU)/(partialt)=kappadel ^2U. (1) Physically, the equation commonly arises in situations where kappa is the ...

Homogeneous coordinates (x_1,x_2,x_3) of a finite point (x,y) in the plane are any three numbers for which (x_1)/(x_3)=x (1) (x_2)/(x_3)=y. (2) Coordinates (x_1,x_2,0) for ...
