If A is a normed algebra, a net {e_i} in A is called an approximate identity for A if sup_(i)|e_i|<infty and if for each a in A, e_ia->a and ae_i->a. Though this definition ...

The word argument is used in several differing contexts in mathematics. The most common usage refers to the argument of a function, but is also commonly used to refer to the ...

An ordinary differential equation of the form x^my^'=f(x,y), where m is a positive integer, f is analytic at x=y=0, f(0,0)=0, and f_y^'(0,0)!=0. Zwillinger (1997, p. 120), ...

An axiomatic system is said to be categorical if there is only one essentially distinct representation for it. In particular, the names and types of objects within the system ...

A Gaussian quadrature-like formula over the interval [-1,1] which has weighting function W(x)=x. The general formula is int_(-1)^1xf(x)dx=sum_(i=1)^nw_i[f(x_i)-f(-x_i)]. n ...

Given a triangle DeltaABC and a point P not a vertex of DeltaABC, define the A^'-vertex of the circumcevian triangle as the point other than A in which the line AP meets the ...

A labeled ternary tree containing the labels 1 to n with root 1, branches leading to nodes labeled 2, 3, 4, branches from these leading to 5, 6, 7 and 8, 9, 10 respectively, ...

The Cramér conjecture is the unproven conjecture that lim sup_(n->infty)(p_(n+1)-p_n)/((lnp_n)^2)=1, where p_n is the nth prime.

The Darboux cubic Z(X_(20)) of a triangle DeltaABC is the locus of all pedal-cevian points (i.e., of all points whose pedal triangle is perspective with DeltaABC). It is a ...

An algorithm which allows digits of a given number to be calculated without requiring the computation of earlier digits. The BBP formula for pi is the best-known such ...
