For operators A^~ and B^~, the anticommutator is defined by {A^~,B^~}=A^~B^~+B^~A^~.

The antilaplacian of u with respect to x is a function whose Laplacian with respect to x equals u. The antilaplacian is never unique.

The inverse function of the logarithm, defined such that log_b(antilog_bz)=z=antilog_b(log_bz). The antilogarithm in base b of z is therefore b^z.

A quantity which changes sign when indices are reversed. For example, A_(ij)=a_i-a_j is antisymmetric since A_(ij)=-A_(ji).

The application of an apodization function.

Let a_(n+1) = 1/2(a_n+b_n) (1) b_(n+1) = (2a_nb_n)/(a_n+b_n). (2) Then A(a_0,b_0)=lim_(n->infty)a_n=lim_(n->infty)b_n=sqrt(a_0b_0), (3) which is just the geometric mean.

If f is continuous on a closed interval [a,b], then there is at least one number x^* in [a,b] such that int_a^bf(x)dx=f(x^*)(b-a). The average value of the function (f^_) on ...

An "area" which can be defined for every set--even those without a true geometric area--which is rigid and finitely additive.

Among the continuous functions on R^n, the positive definite functions are those functions which are the Fourier transforms of nonnegative Borel measures.

For homogeneous polynomials P and Q of degree n, [P,Q]=sum_(i_1,...,i_n>=0)(i_1!...i_n!)(a_(i,...,i_n)b_(i_1,...,i_n)).
