A function that can be defined as a Dirichlet series, i.e., is computed as an infinite sum of powers, F(n)=sum_(k=1)^infty[f(k)]^n, where f(k) can be interpreted as the set ...

e^(i(ntheta))=(e^(itheta))^n. (1) From the Euler formula it follows that cos(ntheta)+isin(ntheta)=(costheta+isintheta)^n. (2) A similar identity holds for the hyperbolic ...

An invariant of an elliptic curve given in the form y^2=x^3+ax+b which is closely related to the elliptic discriminant and defined by j(E)=(2^83^3a^3)/(4a^3+27b^2). The ...

The q-analog of the binomial theorem (1-z)^n=1-nz+(n(n-1))/(1·2)z^2-(n(n-1)(n-2))/(1·2·3)z^3+... (1) is given by (1-z/(q^n))(1-z/(q^(n-1)))...(1-z/q) ...

There are several q-analogs of the cosine function. The two natural definitions of the q-cosine defined by Koekoek and Swarttouw (1998) are given by cos_q(z) = ...

D_q=1/(1-q)lim_(epsilon->0)(lnI(q,epsilon))/(ln(1/epsilon),) (1) where I(q,epsilon)=sum_(i=1)^Nmu_i^q, (2) epsilon is the box size, and mu_i is the natural measure. The ...

The q-analog of the factorial (by analogy with the q-gamma function). For k an integer, the q-factorial is defined by [k]_q! = faq(k,q) (1) = ...

A q-analog of the gamma function defined by Gamma_q(x)=((q;q)_infty)/((q^x;q)_infty)(1-q)^(1-x), (1) where (x,q)_infty is a q-Pochhammer symbol (Koepf 1998, p. 26; Koekoek ...
