If, for n and d integers, the ratio n/d is itself an integer, then d is said to divide n. This relationship is written d|n, read "d divides n." In this case, n is also said ...

Let f(x) be a positive definite, measurable function on the interval (-infty,infty). Then there exists a monotone increasing, real-valued bounded function alpha(t) such that ...

The French metro metric is an example for disproving apparently intuitive but false properties of metric spaces. The metric consists of a distance function on the plane such ...

The functional derivative is a generalization of the usual derivative that arises in the calculus of variations. In a functional derivative, instead of differentiating a ...

The half-altitude circle is the circumcircle of the half-altitude triangle. The circle function is given by l=(f(a,b,c))/(128a^2b^3c^3cosAcosBcosC), (1) where (2) which is ...

If f:D->Y is a map (a.k.a. function, transformation, etc.) over a domain D, then the image of f, also called the range of D under f, is defined as the set of all values that ...

A link invariant is a function from the set of all links to any other set such that the function does not change as the link is changed (up to isotopy). In other words, a ...

The logarithmic distribution is a continuous distribution for a variate X in [a,b] with probability function P(x)=(lnx)/(b(lnb-1)-a(lna-1)) (1) and distribution function ...

The MacBeath circle, a term coined here for the first time, is the circumcircle of the MacBeath triangle. It has a fairly complicated radius, center function, and circle ...

Polynomials s_n(x) which form the Sheffer sequence for f^(-1)(t)=1+t-e^t, (1) where f^(-1)(t) is the inverse function of f(t), and have generating function ...
