  2. Even and odd functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Even_and_odd_functions

    If a real function has a domain that is self-symmetric with respect to the origin, it may be uniquely decomposed as the sum of an even and an odd function, which are called respectively the even part (or the even component) and the odd part (or the odd component) of the function, and are defined by = + (), and = ().

  3. 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 ...

  4. Parity of a permutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_of_a_permutation

    The permutation is odd if and only if this factorization contains an odd number of even-length cycles. Another method for determining whether a given permutation is even or odd is to construct the corresponding permutation matrix and compute its determinant. The value of the determinant is the same as the parity of the permutation. Every ...

  6. Characteristic function (probability theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_function...

    This function is real-valued because it corresponds to a random variable that is symmetric around the origin; however characteristic functions may generally be complex-valued. In probability theory and statistics, the characteristic function of any real-valued random variable completely defines its probability distribution.

  7. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    The number is taken to be 'odd' or 'even' according to whether its numerator is odd or even. Then the formula for the map is exactly the same as when the domain is the integers: an 'even' such rational is divided by 2; an 'odd' such rational is multiplied by 3 and then 1 is added.

  8. Rose (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Since k = 7 is an odd number, the rose has k = 7 petals. Line segments connecting successive peaks lie on the circle r = 1 and will form a heptagon. The rose is inscribed in the circle r = 1. When k is a non-zero integer, the curve will be rose-shaped with 2k petals if k is even, and k petals when k is odd. [6]

  9. Even - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Even

    even and odd functions, a function is even if f(−x) = f(x) for all x; even and odd permutations, a permutation of a finite set is even if it is composed of an even number of transpositions; Singly even number, an integer divisible by 2 but not divisible by 4; Even code, if the Hamming weight of all of a binary code's codewords is even
