The second-order ordinary differential equation y^('')+2xy^'-2ny=0, (1) whose solutions may be written either y=Aerfc_n(x)+Berfc_n(-x), (2) where erfc_n(x) is the repeated ...

The Feit-Thompson conjecture asserts that there are no primes p and q for which (p^q-1)/(p-1) and (q^p-1)/(q-1) have a common factor. Parker noticed that if this were true, ...

Given a sequence of independent random variates X_1, X_2, ..., if sigma_k^2=var(X_k) and rho_n^2=max_(k<=n)((sigma_k^2)/(s_n^2)), then lim_(n->infty)rho_n^2=0. This means ...

A self-avoiding polygon containing three corners of its minimal bounding rectangle. The anisotropic area and perimeter generating function G(x,y) and partial generating ...

Let S be a nonempty set, then a filter on S is a nonempty collection F of subsets of S having the following properties: 1. emptyset not in F, 2. If A,B in F, then A ...

A set function mu is said to possess finite subadditivity if, given any finite disjoint collection of sets {E_k}_(k=1)^n on which mu is defined, mu( union ...

A general space based on the line element ds=F(x^1,...,x^n;dx^1,...,dx^n), with F(x,y)>0 for y!=0 a function on the tangent bundle T(M), and homogeneous of degree 1 in y. ...

The Franel numbers are the numbers Fr_n=sum_(k=0)^n(n; k)^3, (1) where (n; k) is a binomial coefficient. The first few values for n=0, 1, ... are 1, 2, 10, 56, 346, ... (OEIS ...

The Fransén-Robinson constant F is defined by F=int_0^infty(dx)/(Gamma(x))=2.8077702420... (OEIS A058655) where Gamma(x) is the gamma function. No closed-form expression in ...

As defined by Erdélyi et al. (1981, p. 20), the G-function is given by G(z)=psi_0(1/2+1/2z)-psi_0(1/2z), (1) where psi_0(z) is the digamma function. Integral representations ...
