The function defined by chi_nu(z)=sum_(k=0)^infty(z^(2k+1))/((2k+1)^nu). (1) It is related to the polylogarithm by chi_nu(z) = 1/2[Li_nu(z)-Li_nu(-z)] (2) = ...

The Lommel differential equation is a generalization of the Bessel differential equation given by z^2y^('')+zy^'+(z^2-nu^2)y=kz^(mu+1), (1) or, in the most general form, by ...

Machin's formula is given by 1/4pi=4cot^(-1)5-cot^(-1)239. There are a whole class of Machin-like formulas with various numbers of terms (although only four such formulas ...

There are several different kinds of magic numbers. The digital root and magic constant are sometimes known as magic numbers. In baseball, the magic number for a team in ...

Polynomials m_k(x;beta,c) which form the Sheffer sequence for g(t) = ((1-c)/(1-ce^t))^beta (1) f(t) = (1-e^t)/(c^(-1)-e^t) (2) and have generating function ...

Let G=(V,E) be a (not necessarily simple) undirected edge-weighted graph with nonnegative weights. A cut C of G is any nontrivial subset of V, and the weight of the cut is ...

If p>1, then Minkowski's integral inequality states that Similarly, if p>1 and a_k, b_k>0, then Minkowski's sum inequality states that [sum_(k=1)^n|a_k+b_k|^p]^(1/p) ...

The group Gamma of all Möbius transformations of the form tau^'=(atau+b)/(ctau+d), (1) where a, b, c, and d are integers with ad-bc=1. The group can be represented by the 2×2 ...

The sequence of numbers which are sums of distinct powers of 4. The first few are 0, 1, 4, 5, 16, 17, 20, 21, 64, 65, 68, 69, 80, 81, 84, ... (OEIS A000695). These numbers ...

Let a set of random variates X_1, X_2, ..., X_n have a probability function P(X_1=x_1,...,X_n=x_n)=(N!)/(product_(i=1)^(n)x_i!)product_(i=1)^ntheta_i^(x_i) (1) where x_i are ...
