A two-dimensional generalization of the Haar transform which is used for the compression of astronomical images. The algorithm consists of dividing the 2^N×2^N image into ...

It is always possible to write a sum of sinusoidal functions f(theta)=acostheta+bsintheta (1) as a single sinusoid the form f(theta)=ccos(theta+delta). (2) This can be done ...

The haversine, also called the haversed sine, is a little-used entire trigonometric function defined by hav(z) = 1/2vers(z) (1) = 1/2(1-cosz) (2) = sin^2(1/2z), (3) where ...

The Hh-function is a function closely related to the normal distribution function. It can be defined using the auxilary functions Z(x) = 1/(sqrt(2pi))e^(-x^2/2) (1) Q(x) = ...

Let 1/p+1/q=1 (1) with p, q>1. Then Hölder's inequality for integrals states that int_a^b|f(x)g(x)|dx<=[int_a^b|f(x)|^pdx]^(1/p)[int_a^b|g(x)|^qdx]^(1/q), (2) with equality ...

Given a short exact sequence of modules 0->A->B->C->0, (1) let ...->P_2->^(d_2)P_1->^(d_1)P_0->^(d_0)A->0 (2) ...->Q_2->^(f_2)Q_1->^(f_1)Q_0->^(f_0)C->0 (3) be projective ...

For a rectangular hyperbola x = asect (1) y = atant (2) with inversion center at the origin, the inverse curve is x_i = (2kcost)/(a[3-cos(2t)]) (3) y_i = ...

The expected value B_n(s) of r^s from a fixed vertex of a unit n-cube to a point picked at random in the interior of the hypercube is given by B_n(s) = ...

Marsaglia (1972) has given a simple method for selecting points with a uniform distribution on the surface of a 4-sphere. This is accomplished by picking two pairs of points ...

A generalization of the complete beta function defined by B(z;a,b)=int_0^zu^(a-1)(1-u)^(b-1)du, (1) sometimes also denoted B_z(a,b). The so-called Chebyshev integral is given ...
