Donaldson (1983) showed there exists an exotic smooth differential structure on R^4. Donaldson's result has been extended to there being precisely a continuum of ...

Expanded notation is the term given in elementary mathematics education for the expansion of a positive integer in the form sum_(k)b_k10^k, i.e., as a sum of appropriate ...

Expansion is an affine transformation (sometimes called an enlargement or dilation) in which the scale is increased. It is the opposite of a geometric contraction, and is ...

Let phi be a map. Then phi is expansive if the statement that the distance d(phi^nx,phi^ny)<delta for all n in Z implies that x=y. Equivalently, phi is expansive if the ...

An experiment E(S,F,P) is defined (Papoulis 1984, p. 30) as a mathematical object consisting of the following elements. 1. A set S (the probability space) of elements. 2. A ...

An exponent is the power p in an expression of the form a^p. The process of performing the operation of raising a base to a given power is known as exponentiation.

Exponential decay is the decrease in a quantity N according to the law N(t)=N_0e^(-lambdat) (1) for a parameter t and constant lambda (known as the decay constant), where e^x ...

The curve y=1-e^(ax), illustrated above.

sum_(n=0)^(N-1)e^(inx) = (1-e^(iNx))/(1-e^(ix)) (1) = (-e^(iNx/2)(e^(-iNx/2)-e^(iNx/2)))/(-e^(ix/2)(e^(-ix/2)-e^(ix/2))) (2) = (sin(1/2Nx))/(sin(1/2x))e^(ix(N-1)/2), (3) ...

The exponential sum function e_n(x), sometimes also denoted exp_n(x), is defined by e_n(x) = sum_(k=0)^(n)(x^k)/(k!) (1) = (e^xGamma(n+1,x))/(Gamma(n+1)), (2) where ...
