The general nonhomogeneous differential equation is given by x^2(d^2y)/(dx^2)+alphax(dy)/(dx)+betay=S(x), (1) and the homogeneous equation is x^2y^('')+alphaxy^'+betay=0 (2) ...

Gibrat's distribution is a continuous distribution in which the logarithm of a variable x has a normal distribution, P(x)=1/(xsqrt(2pi))e^(-(lnx)^2/2), (1) defined over the ...

A two-dimensional generalization of the Haar transform which is used for the compression of astronomical images. The algorithm consists of dividing the 2^N×2^N image into ...

A curve also known as Gutschoven's curve which was first studied by G. van Gutschoven around 1662 (MacTutor Archive). It was also studied by Newton and, some years later, by ...

Let P(N) denote the number of primes of the form n^2+1 for 1<=n<=N, then P(N)∼0.68641li(N), (1) where li(N) is the logarithmic integral (Shanks 1960, pp. 321-332). Let Q(N) ...

The ordinary differential equation (1) (Byerly 1959, p. 255). The solution is denoted E_m^p(x) and is known as an ellipsoidal harmonic of the first kind, or Lamé function. ...

The MacBeath circumconic is the dual conic to the MacBeath inconic, introduced in Dec. 2004 by P. Moses (Kimberling). It has circumconic parameters x:y:z=cosA:cosB:cosC, (1) ...

The Mills ratio is defined as m(x) = 1/(h(x)) (1) = (S(x))/(P(x)) (2) = (1-D(x))/(P(x)), (3) where h(x) is the hazard function, S(x) is the survival function, P(x) is the ...

The second-order ordinary differential equation x^2(d^2y)/(dx^2)+x(dy)/(dx)-(x^2+n^2)y=0. (1) The solutions are the modified Bessel functions of the first and second kinds, ...

Let u_(p) be a unit tangent vector of a regular surface M subset R^3. Then the normal curvature of M in the direction u_(p) is kappa(u_(p))=S(u_(p))·u_(p), (1) where S is the ...
