The heptanacci constant is the limiting ratio of adjacent heptanacci numbers. It is the algebraic number P = (x^7-x^6-x^5-x^4-x^3-x^2-x-1)_1 (1) = 1.99196419660... (2) (OEIS ...

The sequence defined by H(0)=0 and H(n)=n-H(H(H(n-1))). The first few terms are 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10, 11, 12, 13, 13, 14, ... (OEIS A005374).

Let A = [B D; E C] (1) A^(-1) = [W X; Y Z], (2) where B and W are k×k matrices. Then det(Z)det(A)=det(B). (3) The proof follows from equating determinants on the two sides of ...

Expresses a function in terms of its Radon transform, f(x,y) = R^(-1)(Rf)(x,y) (1) = ...

Let rho(x) be an mth degree polynomial which is nonnegative in [-1,1]. Then rho(x) can be represented in the form {[A(x)]^2+(1-x^2)[B(x)]^2 for m even; ...

The pentanacci constant is the limiting ratio of adjacent pentanacci numbers. It is the algebraic number P = (x^5-x^4-x^3-x^2-x-1)_1 (1) = 1.96594823... (2) (OEIS A103814), ...

The function f(x,y)=(1-x)^2+100(y-x^2)^2 that is often used as a test problem for optimization algorithms (where a variation with 100 replaced by 105 is sometimes used; ...

For p(z)=a_nz^n+a_(n-1)z^(n-1)+...+a_0, (1) polynomial of degree n>=1, the Schur transform is defined by the (n-1)-degree polynomial Tp(z) = a^__0p(z)-a_np^*(z) (2) = ...

Let p be a prime number, G a finite group, and |G| the order of G. 1. If p divides |G|, then G has a Sylow p-subgroup. 2. In a finite group, all the Sylow p-subgroups are ...

For s>1, the Riemann zeta function is given by zeta(s) = sum_(n=1)^(infty)1/(n^s) (1) = product_(k=1)^(infty)1/(1-1/(p_k^s)), (2) where p_k is the kth prime. This is Euler's ...
