A line in the complex plane with slope +/-i. An isotropic line passes through either of the circular points at infinity. Isotropic lines are perpendicular to themselves.

A tensor which has the same components in all rotated coordinate systems. All rank-0 tensors (scalars) are isotropic, but no rank-1 tensors (vectors) are. The unique rank-2 ...

The function K_n(x_0,x)=K_n(x,x_0)^_=K_n(x^_,x^__0) which is useful in the study of many polynomials.

int_0^pi(sin[(n+1/2)x])/(2sin(1/2x))dx=1/2pi, where the integral kernel is the Dirichlet kernel.

In a cochain complex of modules ...->C^(i-1)->^(d^(i-1))C^i->^(d^i)C^(i+1)->... the module Z^i of i-cocycles Z^i is the kernel of d^i, which is a submodule of C^i.

In a chain complex of modules ...->C_(i+1)->^(d_(i+1))C_i->^(d_i)C_(i-1)->... the module Z_i of i-cycles is the kernel of d_i, which is a submodule of C_i.

The quantity being integrated, also called the integral kernel. For example, in intf(x)dx, f(x) is the integrand.

An integral equation of the form f(x)=int_a^xK(x,t)phi(t)dt, where K(x,t) is the integral kernel, f(x) is a specified function, and phi(t) is the function to be solved for.

An integral equation of the form phi(x)=f(x)+int_a^xK(x,t)phi(t)dt, where K(x,t) is the integral kernel, f(x) is a specified function, and phi(t) is the function to be solved ...

A Fredholm integral equation of the first kind is an integral equation of the form f(x)=int_a^bK(x,t)phi(t)dt, (1) where K(x,t) is the kernel and phi(t) is an unknown ...
