A map u:M->N, between two compact Riemannian manifolds, is a harmonic map if it is a critical point for the energy functional int_M|du|^2dmu_M. The norm of the differential ...

A variable is a symbol on whose value a function, polynomial, etc., depends. For example, the variables in the function f(x,y) are x and y. A function having a single ...

The hyperbolic cosine is defined as coshz=1/2(e^z+e^(-z)). (1) The notation chx is sometimes also used (Gradshteyn and Ryzhik 2000, p. xxix). This function describes the ...

The spherical harmonics can be generalized to vector spherical harmonics by looking for a scalar function psi and a constant vector c such that M = del x(cpsi) (1) = psi(del ...

The duplication formula for Rogers L-function follows from Abel's functional equation and is given by 1/2L(x^2)=L(x)-L(x/(1+x)).

An algebraic expression in variables {x_1,...,x_n} is an expression constructed with the variables and algebraic numbers using addition, multiplication, and rational powers.

If f(x,y) is an analytic function in a neighborhood of the point (x_0,y_0) (i.e., it can be expanded in a series of nonnegative integer powers of (x-x_0) and (y-y_0)), find a ...

For the parametric representation x = (2t^2)/(1+t^2) (1) y = (2t^3)/(1+t^2), (2) the catacaustic of this curve from the radiant point (8a,0) is given by x = ...

An equation of the form y=ax^3+bx^2+cx+d, (1) where two of the roots of the equation coincide (and all three are therefore real), i.e., y = a(x-r_1)^2(x-r_2) (2) = ...

Characterized by allowing only integer values.
