U_n(f)=int_a^bf(x)K_n(x)dx, where {K_n(x)} is a sequence of continuous functions.

S_n=sum_(i)eta_imu(E_i), where mu(E_i) is the measure of the set E_i of points on the x-axis for which f(x) approx eta_i.

Also known as the alternating series test. Given a series sum_(n=1)^infty(-1)^(n+1)a_n with a_n>0, if a_n is monotonic decreasing as n->infty and lim_(n->infty)a_n=0, then ...

An attracting set to which orbits or trajectories converge and upon which trajectories are periodic.

An operator L^~ is said to be linear if, for every pair of functions f and g and scalar t, L^~(f+g)=L^~f+L^~g and L^~(tf)=tL^~f.

A function used to study ordinary differential equations.

A function f which may (but does not necessarily) associate a given member of the range of f with more than one member of the domain of f. For example, trigonometric ...

The sequence generated by repeated application of a map. The map is said to have a closed orbit if it has a finite number of elements.

A set considered together with the sigma-algebra on the set.

A minimization of the maximum error for a fixed number of terms.
