  2. Taylor series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_series

    The function e (−1/x 2) is not analytic at x = 0: the Taylor series is identically 0, although the function is not. If f ( x ) is given by a convergent power series in an open disk centred at b in the complex plane (or an interval in the real line), it is said to be analytic in this region.

  3. Matrix exponential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_exponential

    e aX e bX = e (a + b)X; e X eX = I; Using the above results, we can easily verify the following claims. If X is symmetric then e X is also symmetric, and if X is skew-symmetric then e X is orthogonal. If X is Hermitian then e X is also Hermitian, and if X is skew-Hermitian then e X is unitary.

  4. Analytic function of a matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_function_of_a_matrix

    In mathematics, every analytic function can be used for defining a matrix function that maps square matrices with complex entries to square matrices of the same size.. This is used for defining the exponential of a matrix, which is involved in the closed-form solution of systems of linear differential equations.

  5. Lagrange inversion theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange_inversion_theorem

    In mathematical analysis, the Lagrange inversion theorem, also known as the Lagrange–Bürmann formula, gives the Taylor series expansion of the inverse function of an analytic function. Lagrange inversion is a special case of the inverse function theorem .

  6. Stirling's approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling's_approximation

    The approximation (⁡ +) and its equivalent form ⁡ ⁡ ⁡ + (⁡ + ⁡ (⁡ +)) can be obtained by rearranging Stirling's extended formula and observing a coincidence between the resultant power series and the Taylor series expansion of the hyperbolic sine function.

  7. Normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution

    An application for the above Taylor series expansion is to use Newton's method to reverse the computation. That is, if we have a value for the cumulative distribution function , Φ ( x ) {\textstyle \Phi (x)} , but do not know the x needed to obtain the Φ ( x ) {\textstyle \Phi (x)} , we can use Newton's method to find x, and use the Taylor ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_expansions_for_the...

    In probability theory, it is possible to approximate the moments of a function f of a random variable X using Taylor expansions, provided that f is sufficiently differentiable and that the moments of X are finite. A simulation-based alternative to this approximation is the application of Monte Carlo simulations.

  9. Padé approximant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padé_approximant

    For given x, Padé approximants can be computed by Wynn's epsilon algorithm [2] and also other sequence transformations [3] from the partial sums = + + + + of the Taylor series of f, i.e., we have = ()!. f can also be a formal power series, and, hence, Padé approximants can also be applied to the summation of divergent series.
