If x_1<x_2<...<x_n denote the zeros of p_n(x), there exist real numbers lambda_1,lambda_2,...,lambda_n such that ...

Consider two closed oriented space curves f_1:C_1->R^3 and f_2:C_2->R^3, where C_1 and C_2 are distinct circles, f_1 and f_2 are differentiable C^1 functions, and f_1(C_1) ...

The delta function is a generalized function that can be defined as the limit of a class of delta sequences. The delta function is sometimes called "Dirac's delta function" ...

The Heaviside step function is a mathematical function denoted H(x), or sometimes theta(x) or u(x) (Abramowitz and Stegun 1972, p. 1020), and also known as the "unit step ...

The order ideal in Lambda, the ring of integral laurent polynomials, associated with an Alexander matrix for a knot K. Any generator of a principal Alexander ideal is called ...

A Sheffer sequence for (1,f(t)) is called the associated sequence for f(t), and a sequence s_n(x) of polynomials satisfying the orthogonality conditions ...

The evolute of the astroid is a hypocycloid evolute for n=4. Surprisingly, it is another astroid scaled by a factor n/(n-2)=4/2=2 and rotated 1/(2·4)=1/8 of a turn. For an ...

A pattern tau=(tau_1,...,tau_n) is said to avoid alpha=(alpha_1,...,alpha_k) if alpha is not contained in tau. In other words, tau avoids alpha iff no k-subset of tau is ...

For a measurable function mu, the Beltrami differential equation is given by f_(z^_)=muf_z, where f_z is a partial derivative and z^_ denotes the complex conjugate of z.

A relation between compact boundaryless manifolds (also called closed manifolds). Two closed manifolds are bordant iff their disjoint union is the boundary of a compact ...
