A space-filling function which maps a one-dimensional interval into a two-dimensional area. Plane-filling functions were thought to be impossible until Hilbert discovered the ...

The Fourier transform of the Heaviside step function H(x) is given by F_x[H(x)](k) = int_(-infty)^inftye^(-2piikx)H(x)dx (1) = 1/2[delta(k)-i/(pik)], (2) where delta(k) is ...

Given a sequence {a_n}_(n=1)^infty, a formal power series f(s) = sum_(n=1)^(infty)(a_n)/(n^s) (1) = a_1+(a_2)/(2^s)+(a_3)/(3^s)+... (2) is called the Dirichlet generating ...

A real-valued function g defined on a convex subset C subset R^n is said to be quasi-concave if for all real alpha in R, the set {x in C:g(x)>=alpha} is convex. This is ...

A real-valued function g defined on a convex subset C subset R^n is said to be quasi-convex if for all real alpha in R, the set {x in C:g(x)<alpha} is convex. This is ...

In his last letter to Hardy, Ramanujan defined 17 Jacobi theta function-like functions F(q) with |q|<1 which he called "mock theta functions" (Watson 1936ab, Ramanujan 1988, ...

Lambda_0(phi|m)=(F(phi|1-m))/(K(1-m))+2/piK(m)Z(phi|1-m), where phi is the Jacobi amplitude, m is the parameter, Z is the Jacobi zeta function, and F(phi|m^') and K(m) are ...

Let p run over all distinct primitive ordered periodic geodesics, and let tau(p) denote the positive length of p, then the Selberg zeta function is defined as ...

The modular group Gamma is the set of all transformations w of the form w(t)=(at+b)/(ct+d), where a, b, c, and d are integers and ad-bc=1. A Gamma-modular function is then ...

Informally, a function f is a one-way function if 1. The description of f is publicly known and does not require any secret information for its operation. 2. Given x, it is ...
