The function psi(x)={x(1-(x^2)/(c^2))^2 for |x|<c; 0 for |x|>c (1) sometimes used in robust estimation. It has a minimum at x=-c/sqrt(5) and a maximum at x=c/sqrt(5), where ...

The distribution of the product X_1X_2...X_n of n uniform variates on the interval [0,1] can be found directly as P_(X_1...X_n)(u) = ...

int_0^(pi/2)cos^nxdx = int_0^(pi/2)sin^nxdx (1) = (sqrt(pi)Gamma(1/2(n+1)))/(nGamma(1/2n)) (2) = ((n-1)!!)/(n!!){1/2pi for n=2, 4, ...; 1 for n=3, 5, ..., (3) where Gamma(n) ...

int_0^inftyJ_0(ax)cos(cx)dx={0 a<c; 1/(sqrt(a^2-c^2)) a>c (1) int_0^inftyJ_0(ax)sin(cx)dx={1/(sqrt(c^2-a^2)) a<c; 0 a>c, (2) where J_0(z) is a zeroth order Bessel function of ...

A lattice path from one point to another is p-good if it lies completely below the line y=(p-1)x. (1) Hilton and Pederson (1991) show that the number of p-good paths from (1, ...

Catastrophe theory studies how the qualitative nature of equation solutions depends on the parameters that appear in the equations. Subspecializations include bifurcation ...

The term "characteristic" has many different uses in mathematics. In general, it refers to some property that inherently describes a given mathematical object, for example ...

The divided difference f[x_0,x_1,x_2,...,x_n], sometimes also denoted [x_0,x_1,x_2,...,x_n] (Abramowitz and Stegun 1972), on n+1 points x_0, x_1, ..., x_n of a function f(x) ...

Lagrange multipliers, also called Lagrangian multipliers (e.g., Arfken 1985, p. 945), can be used to find the extrema of a multivariate function f(x_1,x_2,...,x_n) subject to ...
