The Nørlund polynomial (note that the spelling Nörlund also appears in various publications) is a name given by Carlitz (1960) and Adelberg (1997) to the polynomial ...

The parabolic cylinder differential equation is the second-order ordinary differential equation y^('')+(nu+1/2-1/4z^2)y=0 (1) whose solution is given by ...

A root-finding algorithm which assumes a function to be approximately linear in the region of interest. Each improvement is taken as the point where the approximating line ...

A partition whose conjugate partition is equivalent to itself. The Ferrers diagrams corresponding to the self-conjugate partitions for 3<=n<=10 are illustrated above. The ...

(d^2u)/(dz^2)+(du)/(dz)+(k/z+(1/4-m^2)/(z^2))u=0. (1) Let u=e^(-z/2)W_(k,m)(z), where W_(k,m)(z) denotes a Whittaker function. Then (1) becomes ...

The d-analog of a complex number s is defined as [s]_d=1-(2^d)/(s^d) (1) (Flajolet et al. 1995). For integer n, [2]!=1 and [n]_d! = [3][4]...[n] (2) = ...

A q-analog of Gauss's theorem due to Jacobi and Heine, _2phi_1(a,b;c;q,c/(ab))=((c/a;q)_infty(c/b;q)_infty)/((c;q)_infty(c/(ab);q)_infty) (1) for |c/(ab)|<1 (Gordon and ...

An almost perfect number, also known as a least deficient or slightly defective (Singh 1997) number, is a positive integer n for which the divisor function satisfies ...

Consider the excircles J_A, J_B, and J_C of a triangle, and the external Apollonius circle Gamma tangent externally to all three. Denote the contact point of Gamma and J_A by ...

The Bevan circle, sometimes also called the excentral circle, is the circumcircle of the excentral triangle of the reference triangle, i.e., it is the circle passing through ...
