  2. Multiplicity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    We can also define the multiplicity of the zeroes and poles of a meromorphic function. If we have a meromorphic function =, take the Taylor expansions of g and h about a point z 0, and find the first non-zero term in each (denote the order of the terms m and n respectively) then if m = n, then the point has non-zero value.

  3. Jordan normal form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_normal_form

    Assuming the algebraic multiplicity m(λ) of an eigenvalue λ is known, the structure of the Jordan form can be ascertained by analyzing the ranks of the powers (A − λI) m(λ). To see this, suppose an n × n matrix A has only one eigenvalue λ. So m(λ) = n. The smallest integer k 1 such that =

  4. Characteristic equation (calculus) - Wikipedia

    Since r 1 has multiplicity k, the differential equation can be factored into [1] = The fact that y p (x) = c 1 e r 1 x is one solution allows one to presume that the general solution may be of the form y(x) = u(x)e r 1 x, where u(x) is a function to be determined.

  5. Multiset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiset

    In mathematics, a multiset (or bag, or mset) is a modification of the concept of a set that, unlike a set, [1] allows for multiple instances for each of its elements.The number of instances given for each element is called the multiplicity of that element in the multiset.

  6. Bézout's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bézout's_theorem

    This proves Bézout's theorem, if the multiplicity of a common zero is defined as the multiplicity of the corresponding linear factor of the U-resultant. As for the preceding proof, the equality of this multiplicity with the definition by deformation results from the continuity of the U -resultant as a function of the coefficients of the f i ...

  7. Persistence of a number - Wikipedia

    The additive persistence of 2718 is 2: first we find that 2 + 7 + 1 + 8 = 18, and then that 1 + 8 = 9. The multiplicative persistence of 39 is 3, because it takes three steps to reduce 39 to a single digit: 39 → 27 → 14 → 4. Also, 39 is the smallest number of multiplicative persistence 3.

  8. Intersection number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersection_number

    Let X be a Riemann surface.Then the intersection number of two closed curves on X has a simple definition in terms of an integral. For every closed curve c on X (i.e., smooth function :), we can associate a differential form of compact support, the Poincaré dual of c, with the property that integrals along c can be calculated by integrals over X:

  9. Minimal polynomial (linear algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimal_polynomial_(linear...

    The multiplicity of a root λ of μ A is the largest power m such that ker((A − λI n) m) strictly contains ker((A − λI n) m−1). In other words, increasing the exponent up to m will give ever larger kernels, but further increasing the exponent beyond m will just give the same kernel.
