Voronin (1975) proved the remarkable analytical property of the Riemann zeta function zeta(s) that, roughly speaking, any nonvanishing analytic function can be approximated ...

The "kurtosis excess" (Kenney and Keeping 1951, p. 27) is defined in terms of the usual kurtosis by gamma_2 = beta_2-3 (1) = (mu_4)/(mu_2^2)-3. (2) It is commonly denoted ...

Let any finite or infinite set of points having no finite limit point be prescribed, and associate with each of its points a definite positive integer as its order. Then ...

Let Pi be a permutation of n elements, and let alpha_i be the number of permutation cycles of length i in this permutation. Picking Pi at random, it turns out that ...

The absolute moment of M_n of a probability function P(x) taken about a point a is defined by M_n=int|x-a|^nP(x)dx.

The function psi(x)={sin(x/c) |x|<cpi; 0 |x|>cpi, (1) which occurs in estimation theory.

A function is in big-theta of f if it is not much worse but also not much better than f, Theta(f(n))=O(f(n)) intersection Omega(f(n)).

A function f mapping a set X->X/R (X modulo R), where R is an equivalence relation in X, is called a canonical map.

A derivative of a complex function, which must satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann equations in order to be complex differentiable.

The function f(x)=1-2|x|^(1/2) for x in [-1,1]. The natural invariant is rho(y)=1/2(1-y).
