A hypergeometric function in which one parameter changes by +1 or -1 is said to be contiguous. There are 26 functions contiguous to _2F_1(a,b;c;x) taking one pair at a time. ...

Series expansions of the parabolic cylinder functions U(a,x) and W(a,x). The formulas can be found in Abramowitz and Stegun (1972).

Given a Jacobi amplitude phi in an elliptic integral, the argument u is defined by the relation phi=am(u,k). It is related to the elliptic integral of the first kind F(u,k) ...

A parameter n used to specify an elliptic integral of the third kind Pi(n;phi,k).

The exsecant is a little-used trigonometric function defined by exsec(x)=secx-1, (1) where secx is the secant. The exsecant can be extended to the complex plane as ...

Almost all natural numbers are very, very, very large (Steinbach 1990, p. 111).

f(x) approx t_n(x)=sum_(k=0)^(2n)f_kzeta_k(x), where t_n(x) is a trigonometric polynomial of degree n such that t_n(x_k)=f_k for k=0, ..., 2n, and ...

A formula for numerical solution of differential equations, (1) where k_1 = hf(x_n,y_n) (2) k_2 = hf(x_n+1/2h,y_n+1/2k_1) (3) k_3 = ...

Isomorphism is a very general concept that appears in several areas of mathematics. The word derives from the Greek iso, meaning "equal," and morphosis, meaning "to form" or ...

Let sum_(k=0)^(infty)a_k=a and sum_(k=0)^(infty)c_k=c be convergent series such that lim_(k->infty)(a_k)/(c_k)=lambda!=0. Then ...
