  2. Cubic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation

    When p = ±3, the above values of t 0 are sometimes called the Chebyshev cube root. [29] More precisely, the values involving cosines and hyperbolic cosines define, when p = −3, the same analytic function denoted C 1/3 (q), which is the proper Chebyshev cube root. The value involving hyperbolic sines is similarly denoted S 1/3 (q), when p = 3.

  3. Root-finding algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-finding_algorithm

    The ITP method is the only known method to bracket the root with the same worst case guarantees of the bisection method while guaranteeing a superlinear convergence to the root of smooth functions as the secant method. It is also the only known method guaranteed to outperform the bisection method on the average for any continuous distribution ...

  4. Empty product - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empty_product

    For example, the empty products 0! = 1 (the factorial of zero) and x 0 = 1 shorten Taylor series notation (see zero to the power of zero for a discussion of when x = 0). Likewise, if M is an n × n matrix, then M 0 is the n × n identity matrix , reflecting the fact that applying a linear map zero times has the same effect as applying the ...

  5. Dirac delta function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_delta_function

    In mathematical analysis, the Dirac delta function (or δ distribution), also known as the unit impulse, [1] is a generalized function on the real numbers, whose value is zero everywhere except at zero, and whose integral over the entire real line is equal to one. [2] [3] [4] Thus it can be represented heuristically as

  6. Matrix of ones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_of_ones

    The all-ones matrix arises in the mathematical field of combinatorics, particularly involving the application of algebraic methods to graph theory.For example, if A is the adjacency matrix of an n-vertex undirected graph G, and J is the all-ones matrix of the same dimension, then G is a regular graph if and only if AJ = JA. [7]

  7. Exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation

    If exponentiation is considered as a multivalued function then the possible values of (−1 ⋅ −1) 1/2 are {1, −1}. The identity holds, but saying {1} = {(−1 ⋅ −1) 1/2 } is incorrect. The identity ( e x ) y = e xy holds for real numbers x and y , but assuming its truth for complex numbers leads to the following paradox , discovered ...

  8. Cube root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_root

    In mathematics, a cube root of a number x is a number y that has the given number as its third power; that is =. The number of cube roots of a number depends on the number system that is considered. Every real number x has exactly one real cube root that is denoted x 3 {\textstyle {\sqrt[{3}]{x}}} and called the real cube root of x or simply ...

  9. Zero to the power of zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_to_the_power_of_zero

    The multiplicative identity of R[x] is the polynomial x 0; that is, x 0 times any polynomial p(x) is just p(x). [2] Also, polynomials can be evaluated by specializing x to a real number. More precisely, for any given real number r, there is a unique unital R-algebra homomorphism ev r : R[x] → R such that ev r (x) = r. Because ev r is unital ...
