  2. Parity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Even and odd numbers have opposite parities, e.g., 22 (even number) and 13 (odd number) have opposite parities. In particular, the parity of zero is even. [2] Any two consecutive integers have opposite parity. A number (i.e., integer) expressed in the decimal numeral system is even or odd according to whether its last digit is even or odd. That ...

  3. Mathieu function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathieu_function

    For the even and odd periodic Mathieu functions , and the associated characteristic numbers one can also derive asymptotic expansions for large . [34] For the characteristic numbers in particular, one has with N {\displaystyle N} approximately an odd integer, i.e. N ≈ N 0 = 2 n + 1 , n = 1 , 2 , 3 , . . . , {\displaystyle N\approx N_{0}=2n+1 ...

  4. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    If k is an odd integer, then 3k + 1 is even, so 3k + 1 = 2 a k ′ with k ′ odd and a ≥ 1. The Syracuse function is the function f from the set I of positive odd integers into itself, for which f(k) = k ′ (sequence A075677 in the OEIS). Some properties of the Syracuse function are: For all k ∈ I, f(4k + 1) = f(k). (Because 3(4k + 1) + 1 ...

  5. Dirichlet beta function - Wikipedia

    For every odd positive integer +, the following equation holds: [3] (+) = ()!() +where is the n-th Euler Number.This yields: =,() =,() =,() =For the values of the Dirichlet beta function at even positive integers no elementary closed form is known, and no method has yet been found for determining the arithmetic nature of even beta values (similarly to the Riemann zeta function at odd integers ...

  6. Error function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_function

    This directly results from the fact that the integrand e −t 2 is an even function (the antiderivative of an even function which is zero at the origin is an odd function and vice versa).

  7. Generating function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generating_function

    For a = 2, this is simply the familiar decomposition of a function into even and odd parts (i.e., even and odd powers): = = + = + + = (). More generally, suppose that a ≥ 3 and that ω a = exp ⁠ 2 πi / a ⁠ denotes the a th primitive root of unity .

  8. Parity (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_(physics)

    The way into which particular variables and vectors sort out into either category depends on whether the number of dimensions of space is either an odd or even number. The categories of odd or even given below for the parity transformation is a different, but intimately related issue. The answers given below are correct for 3 spatial dimensions.

  9. Symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry

    Examples include even and odd functions in calculus, symmetric groups in abstract algebra, symmetric matrices in linear algebra, and Galois groups in Galois theory. In statistics , symmetry also manifests as symmetric probability distributions , and as skewness —the asymmetry of distributions.
