  2. Multiplicative inverse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicative_inverse

    For every x except 0, y represents its multiplicative inverse. The graph forms a rectangular hyperbola. In mathematics, a multiplicative inverse or reciprocal for a number x, denoted by 1/x or x −1, is a number which when multiplied by x yields the multiplicative identity, 1. The multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. For the ...

  3. Inverse function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_function

    In mathematics, the inverse function of a function f (also called the inverse of f) is a function that undoes the operation of f. The inverse of f exists if and only if f is bijective , and if it exists, is denoted by f − 1 . {\displaystyle f^{-1}.}

  4. Operational calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operational_calculus

    Solutions are then obtained by making the inverse operator of F act on the known function. The operational calculus generally is typified by two symbols: the operator p, and the unit function 1. The operator in its use probably is more mathematical than physical, the unit function more physical than mathematical.

    arcoth – inverse hyperbolic cotangent function. arcsch – inverse hyperbolic cosecant function. (Also written as arcosech.) arcsec – inverse secant function. arcsin – inverse sine function. arctan – inverse tangent function. arctan2 – inverse tangent function with two arguments. (Also written as atan2.) arg – argument of. [2]

  6. Sign function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign_function

    Signum function = ⁡. In mathematics, the sign function or signum function (from signum, Latin for "sign") is a function that has the value −1, +1 or 0 according to whether the sign of a given real number is positive or negative, or the given number is itself zero.

  7. Inverse element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_element

    In mathematics, the concept of an inverse element generalises the concepts of opposite (−x) and reciprocal (1/x) of numbers. Given an operation denoted here ∗, and an identity element denoted e, if x ∗ y = e, one says that x is a left inverse of y, and that y is a right inverse of x.

  8. Operator (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    For example, bijective operators preserving the structure of a vector space are precisely the invertible linear operators. They form the general linear group under composition. However, they do not form a vector space under operator addition; since, for example, both the identity and −identity are invertible (bijective), but their sum, 0, is not.

  9. Error function - Wikipedia

    The above have been generalized to sums of N exponentials [15] with increasing accuracy in terms of N so that erfc x can be accurately approximated or bounded by 2Q̃(√ 2 x), where ~ = =. In particular, there is a systematic methodology to solve the numerical coefficients {( a n , b n )} N
