As Gauss showed in 1812, the hyperbolic tangent can be written using a continued fraction as tanhx=x/(1+(x^2)/(3+(x^2)/(5+...))) (Wall 1948, p. 349; Olds 1963, p. 138).

The conjecture that the Artin L-function of any n-dimensional complex representation of the Galois group of a finite extension of the rational numbers Q is an Artin ...

For a sequence {chi_i}, the Levine-O'Sullivan greedy algorithm is given by chi_1 = 1 (1) chi_i = max_(1<=j<=i-1)(j+1)(i-chi_j) (2) for i>1. The sequence generated by this ...

Sequences x_n^((1)), x_n^((2)), ..., x_n^((k)) are linearly dependent if constants c_1, c_2, ..., c_k (not all zero) exist such that sum_(i=1)^kc_ix_n^((i))=0 for n=0, 1, ....

The inverse transform sum_(n=1)^infty(a_nx^n)/(n!)=ln(1+sum_(n=1)^infty(b_nx^n)/(n!)) of the exponential transform ...

A polynomial is called logarithmically concave (or log-concave) if the sequence of its coefficients is logarithmically concave. If P(x) is log-convex and Q(x) is unimodal, ...

The symbol separating the dividend from the divisor in a long division that is drawn as a right parenthesis (or sometimes a straight vertical bar) with an attached vinculum ...

The lower-trimmed subsequence of x={x_n} is the sequence V(x) obtained by subtracting 1 from each x_n and then removing all 0s. If x is a fractal sequence, then V(x) is a ...

If f(x) is positive and decreases to 0, then an Euler constant gamma_f=lim_(n->infty)[sum_(k=1)^nf(k)-int_1^nf(x)dx] can be defined. For example, if f(x)=1/x, then ...

An integer sequence given by the recurrence relation a(n)=a(a(n-2))+a(n-a(n-2)) with a(1)=a(2)=1. The first few values are 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10, 11, ...
