  2. Exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation

    This definition of exponentiation with negative exponents is the only one that allows extending the identity + = to negative exponents (consider the case =). The same definition applies to invertible elements in a multiplicative monoid , that is, an algebraic structure , with an associative multiplication and a multiplicative identity denoted 1 ...

  3. Reciprocal rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocal_rule

    In calculus, the reciprocal rule gives the derivative of the reciprocal of a function f in terms of the derivative of f.The reciprocal rule can be used to show that the power rule holds for negative exponents if it has already been established for positive exponents.

  4. Modular exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_exponentiation

    Inputs An integer b (base), integer e (exponent), and a positive integer m (modulus) Outputs The modular exponent c where c = b e mod m. Initialise c = 1 and loop variable e′ = 0; While e′ < e do Increment e′ by 1; Calculate c = (b ⋅ c) mod m; Output c; Note that at the end of every iteration through the loop, the equation c ≡ b e ...

  5. Exponential function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_function

    The exponential of a variable ⁠ ⁠ is denoted ⁠ ⁡ ⁠ or ⁠ ⁠, with the two notations used interchangeably. It is called exponential because its argument can be seen as an exponent to which a constant number e ≈ 2.718, the base, is raised. There are several other definitions of the exponential function, which are all equivalent ...

  6. Exponential distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, the exponential distribution or negative exponential distribution is the probability distribution of the distance between events in a Poisson point process, i.e., a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate; the distance parameter could be any meaningful mono-dimensional measure of the process, such as time ...

  7. Series expansion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_expansion

    A Laurent series is a generalization of the Taylor series, allowing terms with negative exponents; it takes the form = and converges in an annulus. [6] In particular, a Laurent series can be used to examine the behavior of a complex function near a singularity by considering the series expansion on an annulus centered at the singularity.

  8. Lyapunov exponent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyapunov_exponent

    There are no inherent limitations on the number of variables, parameters etc. Lyap which includes source code written in Fortran, can also calculate the Lyapunov direction vectors and can characterize the singularity of the attractor, which is the main reason for difficulties in calculating the more negative exponents from time series data.

  9. Laurent polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurent_polynomial

    In mathematics, a Laurent polynomial (named after Pierre Alphonse Laurent) in one variable over a field is a linear combination of positive and negative powers of the variable with coefficients in . Laurent polynomials in X {\displaystyle X} form a ring denoted F [ X , X − 1 ] {\displaystyle \mathbb {F} [X,X^{-1}]} . [ 1 ]
