Let M be an oriented regular surface in R^3 with normal N. Then the support function of M is the function h:M->R defined by h(p)=p·N(p).

A generalization of the Euler L-function associated with a Grössencharakter.

A polynomial function is a function whose values can be expressed in terms of a defining polynomial. A polynomial function of maximum degree 0 is said to be a constant ...

A smooth function is a function that has continuous derivatives up to some desired order over some domain. A function can therefore be said to be smooth over a restricted ...

A characteristic factor is a factor in a particular factorization of the totient function phi(n) such that the product of characteristic factors gives the representation of a ...

A function f such that |f(x)-f(y)|<=C|x-y| for all x and y, where C is a constant independent of x and y, is called a Lipschitz function. For example, any function with a ...

A univariate function f(x) is said to be even provided that f(x)=f(-x). Geometrically, such functions are symmetric about the y-axis. Examples of even functions include 1 ...

A function defined for all positive integers, sometimes also called an arithmetic function (Nagell 1951, p. 26) or number theoretic function (Wilf 1994, p. 58).

An additive function is an arithmetic function such that whenever positive integers a and b are relatively prime, f(ab)=f(a)+f(b). An example of an additive function is ...

The triangle function is the function Lambda(x) = {0 |x|>=1; 1-|x| |x|<1 (1) = Pi(x)*Pi(x) (2) = Pi(x)*H(x+1/2)-Pi(x)*H(x-1/2), (3) where Pi(x) is the rectangle function, ...
