Closed forms are known for the sums of reciprocals of even-indexed Lucas numbers P_L^((e)) = sum_(n=1)^(infty)1/(L_(2n)) (1) = sum_(n=1)^(infty)1/(phi^(2n)+phi^(-2n)) (2) = ...

The second Steiner circle (a term coined here for the first time) is the circumcircle of the Steiner triangle DeltaS_AS_BS_C. Its center has center function ...

Solid partitions are generalizations of plane partitions. MacMahon (1960) conjectured the generating function for the number of solid partitions was ...

Consider the sample standard deviation s=sqrt(1/Nsum_(i=1)^N(x_i-x^_)^2) (1) for n samples taken from a population with a normal distribution. The distribution of s is then ...

The superfactorial of n is defined by Pickover (1995) as n$=n!^(n!^(·^(·^(·^(n!)))))_()_(n!). (1) The first two values are 1 and 4, but subsequently grow so rapidly that 3$ ...

A lattice polygon formed by a three-choice walk. The anisotropic perimeter and area generating function G(x,y,q)=sum_(m>=1)sum_(n>=1)sum_(a>=a)C(m,n,a)x^my^nq^a, where ...

Given a positive nondecreasing sequence 0<lambda_1<=lambda_2<=..., the zeta-regularized product is defined by product_(n=1)^^^inftylambda_n=exp(-zeta_lambda^'(0)), where ...

A gamma distribution is a general type of statistical distribution that is related to the beta distribution and arises naturally in processes for which the waiting times ...

Special cases of general formulas due to Bessel. J_0(sqrt(z^2-y^2))=1/piint_0^pie^(ycostheta)cos(zsintheta)dtheta, where J_0(z) is a Bessel function of the first kind. Now, ...

Given a Poisson process, the probability of obtaining exactly n successes in N trials is given by the limit of a binomial distribution P_p(n|N)=(N!)/(n!(N-n)!)p^n(1-p)^(N-n). ...
