A generalization of simple majority voting in which a list of quotas {q_0,...,q_n} specifies, according to the number of votes, how many votes an alternative needs to win ...

A polynomial A_n(x;a) given by the associated Sheffer sequence with f(t)=te^(at), (1) given by A_n(x;a)=x(x-an)^(n-1). (2) The generating function is ...

An alternative term for a binomial coefficient, in which (n; k) is read as "n choose k." R. K. Guy suggested this pronunciation around 1950, when the notations ^nC_r and ...

A multiplicative factor (usually indexed) such as one of the constants a_i in the polynomial a_nx^n+a_(n-1)x^(n-1)+...+a_2x^2+a_1x+a_0. In this polynomial, the monomials are ...

The log-series distribution, also sometimes called the logarithmic distribution (although this work reserves that term for a distinct distribution), is the distribution of ...

The correspondence which relates the Hanoi graph to the isomorphic graph of the odd binomial coefficients in Pascal's triangle, where the adjacencies are determined by ...

An algebraic expression containing more than one term (cf., binomial). The term is also used to refer to a polynomial.

Polynomial identities involving sums and differences of like powers include x^2-y^2 = (x-y)(x+y) (1) x^3-y^3 = (x-y)(x^2+xy+y^2) (2) x^3+y^3 = (x+y)(x^2-xy+y^2) (3) x^4-y^4 = ...

Orthogonal polynomials associated with weighting function w(x) = pi^(-1/2)kexp(-k^2ln^2x) (1) = pi^(-1/2)kx^(-k^2lnx) (2) for x in (0,infty) and k>0. Defining ...

sum_(y=0)^m(-1)^(m-y)q^((m-y; 2))[m; y]_q(1-wq^m)/(q-wq^y) ×(1-wq^y)^m(-(1-z)/(1-wq^y);q)_y=(1-z)^mq^((m; 2)), where [n; y]_q is a q-binomial coefficient.
