A shorthand name for a series with the variable k taken to a negative exponent, e.g., sum_(k=1)^(infty)k^(-p), where p>1. p-series are given in closed form by the Riemann ...

sum_(y=0)^m(-1)^(m-y)q^((m-y; 2))[m; y]_q(1-wq^m)/(q-wq^y) ×(1-wq^y)^m(-(1-z)/(1-wq^y);q)_y=(1-z)^mq^((m; 2)), where [n; y]_q is a q-binomial coefficient.

The q-analog of the derivative, defined by (d/(dx))_qf(x)=(f(x)-f(qx))/(x-qx). (1) For example, (d/(dx))_qsinx = (sinx-sin(qx))/(x-qx) (2) (d/(dx))_qlnx = ...

where _8phi_7 is a q-hypergeometric function.

A q-analog of the multinomial coefficient, defined as ([a_1+...+a_n]_q!)/([a_1]_q!...[a_n]_q!), where [n]_q! is a q-factorial.

The q-analog of the Pochhammer symbol defined by (a;q)_k={product_(j=0)^(k-1)(1-aq^j) if k>0; 1 if k=0; product_(j=1)^(|k|)(1-aq^(-j))^(-1) if k<0; ...

A t-(v,k,lambda) block design (abbreviated t-design) is an incidence structure of points and blocks such that the following hold: 1. There are v points, 2. Each block ...

The system of partial differential equations del ^4u = E(v_(xy)^2-v_(xx)v_(yy)) (1) del ^4v = alpha+beta(u_(yy)v_(xx)+u_(xx)v_(yy)-2u_(xy)v_(xy)), (2) where del ^4 is the ...

The x-axis is the horizontal axis of a two-dimensional plot in Cartesian coordinates that is conventionally oriented to point to the right (left figure). In three dimensions, ...

The vertical axis of a two-dimensional plot in Cartesian coordinates. Physicists and astronomers sometimes call this axis the ordinate, although that term is more commonly ...
