The central difference for a function tabulated at equal intervals f_n is defined by delta(f_n)=delta_n=delta_n^1=f_(n+1/2)-f_(n-1/2). (1) First and higher order central ...

The nth central fibonomial coefficient is defined as [2n; n]_F = product_(k=1)^(n)(F_(n+k))/(F_k) (1) = ...

The Cesàro means of a function f are the arithmetic means sigma_n=1/n(s_0+...+s_(n-1)), (1) n=1, 2, ..., where the addend s_k is the kth partial sum ...

Let P be a finite partially ordered set. A chain in P is a set of pairwise comparable elements (i.e., a totally ordered subset). The partial order length of P is the maximum ...

For every p, the kernel of partial_p:C_p->C_(p-1) is called the group of cycles, Z_p={c in C_p:partial(c)=0}. (1) The letter Z is short for the German word for cycle, ...

Let A be a commutative complex Banach algebra. A nonzero homomorphism from A onto the field of complex numbers is called a character. Every character is automatically ...

The characteristic equation is the equation which is solved to find a matrix's eigenvalues, also called the characteristic polynomial. For a general k×k matrix A, the ...

A characteristic factor is a factor in a particular factorization of the totient function phi(n) such that the product of characteristic factors gives the representation of a ...

A description of an object by properties that are different from those mentioned in its definition, but are equivalent to them. The following list gives a number of examples. ...

The orthogonal polynomials defined by c_n^((mu))(x) = _2F_0(-n,-x;;-mu^(-1)) (1) = ((-1)^n)/(mu^n)(x-n+1)_n_1F_1(-n;x-n+1;mu), (2) where (x)_n is the Pochhammer symbol ...
