  2. Sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence

    An integer sequence is a sequence whose terms are integers. A polynomial sequence is a sequence whose terms are polynomials. A positive integer sequence is sometimes called multiplicative, if a nm = a n a m for all pairs n, m such that n and m are coprime. [8] In other instances, sequences are often called multiplicative, if a n = na 1 for all n.

  3. Peak algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_algebra

    In mathematics, the peak algebra is a (non-unital) subalgebra of the group algebra of the symmetric group S n, studied by Nyman (2003).It consists of the elements of the group algebra of the symmetric group whose coefficients are the same for permutations with the same peaks.

  4. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    The parity sequence is the same as the sequence of operations. Using this form for f(n), it can be shown that the parity sequences for two numbers m and n will agree in the first k terms if and only if m and n are equivalent modulo 2 k. This implies that every number is uniquely identified by its parity sequence, and moreover that if there are ...

    Definition: A set is sequentially compact if every sequence {} in has a convergent subsequence converging to an element of . Theorem: A ⊆ R n {\displaystyle A\subseteq \mathbb {R} ^{n}} is sequentially compact if and only if A {\displaystyle A} is closed and bounded.

    Diagram illustrating three basic geometric sequences of the pattern 1(r n−1) up to 6 iterations deep.The first block is a unit block and the dashed line represents the infinite sum of the sequence, a number that it will forever approach but never touch: 2, 3/2, and 4/3 respectively.

  7. Recurrence relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recurrence_relation

    In mathematics, a recurrence relation is an equation according to which the th term of a sequence of numbers is equal to some combination of the previous terms. Often, only previous terms of the sequence appear in the equation, for a parameter that is independent of ; this number is called the order of the relation.

  8. Unimodality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unimodality

    The definition of "unimodal" was extended to functions of real numbers as well. A common definition is as follows: a function f(x) is a unimodal function if for some value m, it is monotonically increasing for x ≤ m and monotonically decreasing for x ≥ m. In that case, the maximum value of f(x) is f(m) and there are no other local maxima.

  9. Net (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, more specifically in general topology and related branches, a net or Moore–Smith sequence is a function whose domain is a directed set. The codomain of this function is usually some topological space. Nets directly generalize the concept of a sequence in a metric space.
