The Mertens function is the summary function M(n)=sum_(k=1)^nmu(k), (1) where mu(n) is the Möbius function (Mertens 1897; Havil 2003, p. 208). The first few values are 1, 0, ...

A cadlag function is a function, defined on R or a subset of R, that is right continuous and has a left limit. The acronym cadlag comes from the French "continue à droite, ...

f(I) is the collection of all real-valued continuous functions defined on some interval I. f^((n))(I) is the collection of all functions in f(I) with continuous nth ...

The function giving the volume of the spherical quadrectangular tetrahedron: V=(pi^2)/8f(pi/p,pi/q,pi/r), (1) where (2) and D=sqrt(cos^2xcos^2z-cos^2y). (3)

For any alpha in A (where A denotes the set of algebraic numbers), let |alpha|^_ denote the maximum of moduli of all conjugates of alpha. Then a function ...

A hash function H projects a value from a set with many (or even an infinite number of) members to a value from a set with a fixed number of (fewer) members. Hash functions ...

The Möbius function is a number theoretic function defined by mu(n)={0 if n has one or more repeated prime factors; 1 if n=1; (-1)^k if n is a product of k distinct primes, ...

A pairing function is a function that reversibly maps Z^*×Z^* onto Z^*, where Z^*={0,1,2,...} denotes nonnegative integers. Pairing functions arise naturally in the ...

A hypergeometric function in which one parameter changes by +1 or -1 is said to be contiguous. There are 26 functions contiguous to _2F_1(a,b;c;x) taking one pair at a time. ...

An analytic function f on the unit disk is called schlicht if 1. f is one-to-one, 2. f(0)=0, and 3. f^'(0)=1, in which case it is written f in S. Schlicht functions have ...
