The orthogonal polynomials on the interval [-1,1] associated with the weighting functions w(x) = (1-x^2)^(-1/2) (1) w(x) = (1-x^2)^(1/2) (2) w(x) = sqrt((1-x)/(1+x)), (3) ...

The nth order Bernstein expansion of a function f(x) in terms of a variable x is given by B_n(f,x)=sum_(j=0)^n(n; j)x^j(1-x)^(n-j)f(j/n), (1) (Gzyl and Palacios 1997, Mathé ...

Two curves which, at any point, have a common principal normal vector are called Bertrand curves. The product of the torsions of Bertrand curves is a constant.

A convergence test also called "de Morgan's and Bertrand's test." If the ratio of terms of a series {a_n}_(n=1)^infty can be written in the form ...

Another "beta function" defined in terms of an integral is the "exponential" beta function, given by beta_n(z) = int_(-1)^1t^ne^(-zt)dt (1) = ...

A biflecnode, also called a biflecnodal point, is a point at which a curve crosses itself and is at the same time an inflection point. Biflecnodes are possible for curves of ...

The study of the nature and properties of bifurcations.

A two-sided (doubly infinite) Laplace transform, L_t[f(t)](s)=int_(-infty)^inftyf(t)e^(-st)dt. While some authors use this as the primary definition of "the" Laplace ...

A function of two variables is bilinear if it is linear with respect to each of its variables. The simplest example is f(x,y)=xy.

The ordinary differential equation (y^')^m=f(x,y) (Hille 1969, p. 675; Zwillinger 1997, p. 120).
