The function defined by y=ab^(q^x). It is used in actuarial science for specifying a simplified mortality law (Kenney and Keeping 1962, p. 241). Using s(x) as the probability ...

int_a^b(del f)·ds=f(b)-f(a), where del is the gradient, and the integral is a line integral. It is this relationship which makes the definition of a scalar potential function ...

The periphery of a graph G is the subgraph of G induced by vertices that have graph eccentricities equal to the graph diameter. The periphery of a connected graph may be ...

A polygonal number of the form n(5n-3)/2. The first few are 1, 7, 18, 34, 55, 81, 112, ... (OEIS A000566). The generating function for the heptagonal numbers is ...

A pyramidal number of the form n(n+1)(5n-2)/6, The first few are 1, 8, 26, 60, 115, ... (OEIS A002413). The generating function for the heptagonal pyramidal numbers is ...

A pyramidal number of the form n(n+1)(4n-1)/6, The first few are 1, 7, 22, 50, 95, ... (OEIS A002412). The generating function of the hexagonal pyramidal numbers is ...

The hexyl circle is the circumcircle of the hexyl triangle. Amazingly, its center is at the incenter I and its radius is 2R, where R is the circumradius. Its circle function ...

On an oriented n-dimensional Riemannian manifold, the Hodge star is a linear function which converts alternating differential k-forms to alternating (n-k)-forms. If w is an ...

Horowitz reduction is used in indefinite integration to reduce a rational function into polynomial and logarithmic parts. The polynomial part is then trivially integrated, ...

An injective patch is a patch such that x(u_1,v_1)=x(u_2,v_2) implies that u_1=u_2 and v_1=v_2. An example of a patch which is injective but not regular is the function ...
