Let a in C and |a|<1, then phi_a(z)=(z-a)/(1-a^_z) is a Möbius transformation, where a^_ is the complex conjugate of a. phi_a is a conformal mapping self-map of the unit disk ...

Consider the sequence {x_n}_(n=0)^infty defined by x_0=1 and x_(n+1)=[3/2x_n], where [z] is the ceiling function. For n=0, 1, ..., the first few terms are 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 12, ...

When a number is expressed in scientific notation, the number of significant digits (or significant figures) is the number of digits needed to express the number to within ...

Given a circular table of diameter 9 feet, which is the minimal number of planks (each 1 foot wide and length greater than 9 feet) needed in order to completely cover the ...

A tripod is a tree having exactly three tree leaves (Pirnazar and Ullman 2002). The numbers of tripods on n=1, 2, ... vertices are 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12, ...

A Z-number is a real number xi such that 0<=frac[(3/2)^kxi]<1/2 for all k=1, 2, ..., where frac(x) is the fractional part of x. Mahler (1968) showed that there is at most one ...

The following integral transform relationship, known as the Abel transform, exists between two functions f(x) and g(t) for 0<alpha<1, f(x) = int_0^x(g(t)dt)/((x-t)^alpha) (1) ...

A function I_n(x) which is one of the solutions to the modified Bessel differential equation and is closely related to the Bessel function of the first kind J_n(x). The above ...

One of the numbers ..., -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, .... The set of integers forms a ring that is denoted Z. A given integer n may be negative (n in Z^-), nonnegative (n in Z^*), zero ...

If a, b, c, and d are points in the extended complex plane C^*, their cross ratio, also called the cross-ratio (Courant and Robbins 1996, p. 172; Durell 1928, p. 73), ...
