A linear functional on a real vector space V is a function T:V->R, which satisfies the following properties. 1. T(v+w)=T(v)+T(w), and 2. T(alphav)=alphaT(v). When V is a ...

A null function delta^0(x) satisfies int_a^bdelta^0(x)dx=0 (1) for all a,b, so int_(-infty)^infty|delta^0(x)|dx=0. (2) Like a delta function, they satisfy delta^0(x)={0 x!=0; ...

The nth partial denominator in a generalized continued fraction b_0+K_(n=1)^infty(a_n)/(b_n) or simple continued fraction b_0+K_(n=1)^infty1/(b_n) is the expression b_n. For ...

The nth partial numerator in a generalized continued fraction b_0+K_(n=1)^infty(a_n)/(b_n) is the expression a_n. For a simple continued fraction b_0+K_(n=1)^infty1/(b_n), ...

The property intf(y)delta(x-y)dy=f(x) obeyed by the delta function delta(x).

Let P(1/x) be a linear functional acting according to the formula <P(1/x),phi> = Pint(phi(x))/xdx (1) = ...

A function composed of a set of equally spaced jumps of equal length, such as the ceiling function f(x)=[x], floor function f(x)=|_x_|, or nearest integer function f(x)=[x].

A function on the reals R is a step function if it can be written as a finite linear combination of semi-open intervals [a,b) subset= R. Therefore, a step function f can be ...

A generalized hypergeometric function _pF_q[alpha_1,alpha_2,...,alpha_p; beta_1,beta_2,...,beta_q;z], is said to be k-balanced if sum_(i=1)^qbeta_i=k+sum_(i=1)^palpha_i.

delta(x-t)=sum_(n=0)^inftyphi_n(x)phi_n(t), where delta(x) is the delta function.
