The symbol ldx is occasionally used in German literature to refer to the binary logarithm. However, the United States Department of Commerce recommends that the notation lbx ...

The least common denominator of a collection of fractions (p_1)/(q_1),...,(p_n)/(q_n) is the least common multiple LCM(q_1,...,q_n) of their denominators.

Let S={x_1,...,x_n} be a set of n distinct positive integers. Then the matrix [S]_n having the least common multiple LCM(x_i,x_j) of x_i and x_j as its i,jth entry is called ...

The smallest n for which a point x_0 is a periodic point of a function f so that f^n(x_0)=x_0. For example, for the function f(x)=-x, all points x have period 2 (including ...

Given a function of the form y=a+blnx, (1) the coefficients can be found from least squares fitting as b = ...

Given a function of the form y=Ax^B, (1) least squares fitting gives the coefficients as b = ...

Let alpha(x) be a monotone increasing function and define an interval I=(x_1,x_2). Then define the nonnegative function U(I)=alpha(x_2)-alpha(x_1). The Lebesgue integral with ...

Any complex measure lambda decomposes into an absolutely continuous measure lambda_a and a singular measure lambda_c, with respect to some positive measure mu. This is the ...

The Lebesgue identity is the algebraic identity (Nagell 1951, pp. 194-195).

Suppose that {f_n} is a sequence of measurable functions, that f_n->f pointwise almost everywhere as n->infty, and that |f_n|<=g for all n, where g is integrable. Then f is ...
