The power series definition of the exponential function makes sense for square matrices (for which the function is called the matrix exponential) and more generally in any unital Banach algebra B. In this setting, e 0 = 1 , and e x is invertible with inverse e − x for any x in B .
The power of a point is a special case of the Darboux product between two circles, which is given by [10] | | where A 1 and A 2 are the centers of the two circles and r 1 and r 2 are their radii. The power of a point arises in the special case that one of the radii is zero.
The haversine formula determines the great-circle distance between two points on a sphere given their longitudes and latitudes.Important in navigation, it is a special case of a more general formula in spherical trigonometry, the law of haversines, that relates the sides and angles of spherical triangles.
Thomae's function: is a function that is continuous at all irrational numbers and discontinuous at all rational numbers. It is also a modification of Dirichlet function and sometimes called Riemann function. Kronecker delta function: is a function of two variables, usually integers, which is 1 if they are equal, and 0 otherwise.
The simplest example given by Thimbleby of a possible problem when using an immediate-execution calculator is 4 × (−5). As a written formula the value of this is −20 because the minus sign is intended to indicate a negative number, rather than a subtraction, and this is the way that it would be interpreted by a formula calculator.
Then is the state of the system after two time steps, and so forth: is the state of the system after n time steps. The matrix power is the transition matrix between the state now and the state at a time n steps in the future. So computing matrix powers is equivalent to solving the evolution of the dynamical system.
The tangent lines must be equal in length for any point on the radical axis: | | = | |. If P, T 1, T 2 lie on a common tangent, then P is the midpoint of ¯.. In Euclidean geometry, the radical axis of two non-concentric circles is the set of points whose power with respect to the circles are equal.
In mathematics, a generating function is a representation of an infinite sequence of numbers as the coefficients of a formal power series.Generating functions are often expressed in closed form (rather than as a series), by some expression involving operations on the formal series.
