  2. Domain of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_of_a_function

    The term domain is also commonly used in a different sense in mathematical analysis: a domain is a non-empty connected open set in a topological space. In particular, in real and complex analysis , a domain is a non-empty connected open subset of the real coordinate space R n {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{n}} or the complex coordinate space C n ...

  3. Descartes' rule of signs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descartes'_rule_of_signs

    To find the number of negative roots, change the signs of the coefficients of the terms with odd exponents, i.e., apply Descartes' rule of signs to the polynomial = + + This polynomial has two sign changes, as the sequence of signs is (−, +, +, −) , meaning that this second polynomial has two or zero positive roots; thus the original ...

  4. Positive and negative parts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_and_negative_parts

    The positive part and negative part of a function are used to define the Lebesgue integral for a real-valued function. Analogously to this decomposition of a function, one may decompose a signed measure into positive and negative parts — see the Hahn decomposition theorem .

  5. Fermat's theorem (stationary points) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat's_theorem...

    As the derivative is positive for an increasing function and negative for a decreasing function, ′ is positive before and negative after . f ′ {\displaystyle \displaystyle f'} does not skip values (by Darboux's theorem ), so it has to be zero at some point between the positive and negative values.

  6. List of probability distributions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_probability...

    The negative hypergeometric distribution, a distribution which describes the number of attempts needed to get the nth success in a series of Yes/No experiments without replacement. The Poisson binomial distribution, which describes the number of successes in a series of independent Yes/No experiments with different success probabilities.

  7. Sobolev spaces for planar domains - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sobolev_spaces_for_planar...

    D is coercive, i.e. there is a positive constant C and a non-negative constant λ such that D( f, f ) ≥ C ( f, f ) (1) − λ( f, f ). A weak solution of the boundary value problem given initial data f in L 2 (Ω) is a function u satisfying

  8. Positive real numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_real_numbers

    In the study of physical magnitudes, the order of decades provides positive and negative ordinals referring to an ordinal scale implicit in the ratio scale. In the study of classical groups , for every n ∈ N , {\displaystyle n\in \mathbb {N} ,} the determinant gives a map from n × n {\displaystyle n\times n} matrices over the reals to the ...

  9. Domain (mathematical analysis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_(mathematical_analysis)

    In complex analysis, a complex domain (or simply domain) is any connected open subset of the complex plane C. For example, the entire complex plane is a domain, as is the open unit disk, the open upper half-plane, and so forth. Often, a complex domain serves as the domain of definition for a holomorphic function.
