A Fourier series in which there are large gaps between nonzero terms a_n or b_n.

A function that has a natural boundary.

A lag system, introduced by Wang (1963), is a sort of opposite to a tag system. Lag systems allow dependence on more than just the first element, but remove only the first ...

The second-order ordinary differential equation y^('')+k/xy^'+epsilony^'y=0.

A quantity involving primitive cube roots of unity which can be used to solve the cubic equation.

The recurrence relation (n-1)A_(n+1)=(n^2-1)A_n+(n+1)A_(n-1)+4(-1)^n valid for n=4, 5, ... with A(2)=0 and A(3)=1 and which solves the married couples problem (Dörrie 1965, ...

The Lambert cylindrical equal-area projection is a cylindrical equal-area projection with standard parallel phi_s=0 degrees.

A root-finding algorithm also called Bailey's method and Hutton's method. For a function of the form g(x)=x^d-r, Lambert's method gives an iteration function ...

There are two curves commonly known as the Lamé curve: the ellipse evolute and the superellipse.

Whittaker and Watson (1990, pp. 539-540) write Lamé's differential equation for ellipsoidal harmonics of the first kind of the four types as ...
