The cylinder function is defined as C(x,y)={1 for sqrt(x^2+y^2)<=a; 0 for sqrt(x^2+y^2)>a. (1) The Bessel functions are sometimes also called cylinder functions. To find the ...

An elliptic fixed point of a differential equation is a fixed point for which the stability matrix has purely imaginary eigenvalues lambda_+/-=+/-iomega (for omega>0). An ...

The hemicube, which might also be called the square hemiprism, is a simple solid that serves as an example of one of the two topological classes of convex hexahedron having 7 ...

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) = ...

A hyperbolic fixed point of a differential equation is a fixed point for which the stability matrix has eigenvalues lambda_1<0<lambda_2, also called a saddle point. A ...

The chord through a focus parallel to the conic section directrix of a conic section is called the latus rectum, and half this length is called the semilatus rectum (Coxeter ...

Let the values of a function f(x) be tabulated at points x_i equally spaced by h=x_(i+1)-x_i, so f_1=f(x_1), f_2=f(x_2), ..., f_4=f(x_4). Then Simpson's 3/8 rule ...

One of the three standard tori given by the parametric equations x = (c+acosv)cosu (1) y = (c+acosv)sinu (2) z = asinv (3) with c<a. The exterior surface is called an apple ...

The 2-point Newton-Cotes formula int_(x_1)^(x_2)f(x)dx=1/2h(f_1+f_2)-1/(12)h^3f^('')(xi), where f_i=f(x_i), h is the separation between the points, and xi is a point ...

Given a triangle center X=l:m:n, the line mnalpha+nlbeta+lmgamma=0, where alpha:beta:gamma are trilinear coordinates, is called the trilinear polar (Kimberling 1998, p. 38). ...
