The functional derivative is a generalization of the usual derivative that arises in the calculus of variations. In a functional derivative, instead of differentiating a ...

A theorem, also known as Bachet's conjecture, which Bachet inferred from a lack of a necessary condition being stated by Diophantus. It states that every positive integer can ...

Consider Kimberling centers X_(20) (de Longchamps point Z; intersection L_S intersection L_E of the Soddy line and Euler line), X_(468) (intersection L_E intersection L_O of ...

Let sigma(n) be the divisor function. Then lim sup_(n->infty)(sigma(n))/(nlnlnn)=e^gamma, where gamma is the Euler-Mascheroni constant. Ramanujan independently discovered a ...

An equation proposed by Lambert (1758) and studied by Euler in 1779. x^alpha-x^beta=(alpha-beta)vx^(alpha+beta). (1) When alpha->beta, the equation becomes lnx=vx^beta, (2) ...

Goldbach's original conjecture (sometimes called the "ternary" Goldbach conjecture), written in a June 7, 1742 letter to Euler, states "at least it seems that every number ...

Let L, M, and N be lines through A, B, C, respectively, parallel to the Euler line. Let L^' be the reflection of L in sideline BC, let M^' be the reflection of M in sideline ...

There are (at least) two mathematical objects known as Weierstrass forms. The first is a general form into which an elliptic curve over any field K can be transformed, given ...

An Artin L-function over the rationals Q encodes in a generating function information about how an irreducible monic polynomial over Z factors when reduced modulo each prime. ...

Euler (1738, 1753) considered the series s_a(x)=sum_(n=1)^infty[1/(1-a^n)product_(k=0)^(n-1)(1-xa^(-k))]. He showed that just like log_a(a^n)=n, s_a(a^n)=n for nonnegative ...
