  2. Exponential function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_function

    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.

  3. List of mathematical series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_series

    An infinite series of any rational function of can be reduced to a finite series of polygamma functions, by use of partial fraction decomposition, [8] as explained here. This fact can also be applied to finite series of rational functions, allowing the result to be computed in constant time even when the series contains a large number of terms.

  4. Geometric series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_series

    The geometric series is an infinite series derived from a special type of sequence called a geometric progression.This means that it is the sum of infinitely many terms of geometric progression: starting from the initial term , and the next one being the initial term multiplied by a constant number known as the common ratio .

  5. Power series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_series

    Power series are useful in mathematical analysis, where they arise as Taylor series of infinitely differentiable functions. In fact, Borel's theorem implies that every power series is the Taylor series of some smooth function. In many situations, the center c is equal to zero, for instance for Maclaurin series.

  6. Hypergeometric function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypergeometric_function

    In mathematics, the Gaussian or ordinary hypergeometric function 2 F 1 (a,b;c;z) is a special function represented by the hypergeometric series, that includes many other special functions as specific or limiting cases. It is a solution of a second-order linear ordinary differential equation (ODE).

  7. Polylogarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polylogarithm

    The polylogarithm function is equivalent to the Hurwitz zeta function — either function can be expressed in terms of the other — and both functions are special cases of the Lerch transcendent. Polylogarithms should not be confused with polylogarithmic functions , nor with the offset logarithmic integral Li( z ) , which has the same notation ...

  8. Generalized hypergeometric function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_hypergeometric...

    Plot of the generalized hypergeometric function pFq(a b z) with a=(2,4,6,8) and b=(2,3,5,7,11) in the complex plane from -2-2i to 2+2i created with Mathematica 13.1 function ComplexPlot3D. In mathematics, a generalized hypergeometric series is a power series in which the ratio of successive coefficients indexed by n is a rational function of n.

  9. Matrix exponential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_exponential

    The formula for the exponential results from reducing the powers of G in the series expansion and identifying the respective series coefficients of G 2 and G with −cos(θ) and sin(θ) respectively. The second expression here for e Gθ is the same as the expression for R ( θ ) in the article containing the derivation of the generator , R ( θ ...
