A function has compact support if it is zero outside of a compact set. Alternatively, one can say that a function has compact support if its support is a compact set. For ...

A set of functions {f_1(n,x),f_2(n,x)} is termed a complete biorthogonal system in the closed interval R if, they are biorthogonal, i.e., int_Rf_1(m,x)f_1(n,x)dx = ...

A derivative of a complex function, which must satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann equations in order to be complex differentiable.

Since the derivative of a constant is zero, any constant may be added to an indefinite integral (i.e., antiderivative) and will still correspond to the same integral. Another ...

Maximize the number of cookies you can cut from a given expanse of dough (Hoffman 1998, p. 173).

Let A be any algebra over a field F, and define a derivation of A as a linear operator D on A satisfying (xy)D=(xD)y+x(yD) for all x,y in A. Then the set D(A) of all ...

A dihedron is a regular tiling or map on a sphere composed of two regular p-gons, each occupying a hemisphere and with edge lengths of 2pi/p on a unit sphere. Its Schläfli ...

R^n is homeomorphic to R^m iff n=m. This theorem was first proved by Brouwer.

An equilateral polygon is a polygon whose edges are all of equal length (Williams 1979, pp. 31-32). The most prominent examples of equilateral polygons are the regular ...

A function which arises in the fractional integral of e^(at), given by E_t(nu,a) = (e^(at))/(Gamma(nu))int_0^tx^(nu-1)e^(-ax)dx (1) = (a^(-nu)e^(at)gamma(nu,at))/(Gamma(nu)), ...
